Aaron Matthew Grado

Aaron was born August 19, 1988 to Manuel Grado and Dianna Vasquez. Aaron attended Odessa High School and graduated from Richard Milburn Academy and attended Odessa College. Aaron was employed by Coastal Chemical.

Aaron is proceeded in death by Victor and Josephina Grado (paternal grandparents)

Aaron is survived by his son; Jaylan Uriah Grado; father, Manuel Grado (Michelle); mother, Dianna Vasquez, sister; AnnMarie Alvarado (Danny), brothers: Manuel Grado Jr; Eric Bermea (Cynthia); Micah Aguilar (Abby); maternal grandparents: Fransisco and Alifonsa Vasquez; numerous aunts, uncles, and close cousins.

On October 13, 2010, Aaron welcomed the birth of his son Jaylan Uriah Grado which was his pride and joy.

Aaron enjoyed many things with his son like kayaking on the river, fishing, going to the beach, to the movies or just quick weekend getaways. Aside from Jaylan, one of his favorite pass times was football. His favorite team was the San Diego Chargers and he made sure everyone knew it.

Aaron also enjoyed cooking, grilling, and roasting (including people). In fact, he was fairly good at it. If you ever got roasted by Aaron, consider yourself in his circle of love, but as much as he dished out, he knew how to receive the same “love” back. His funny charm and quick wit will be missed by everyone who knew and loved him.

Aaron loved his family and friends dearly, and even though some may not have met each other, they knew of one another through him. He always talked about his friends to his family and vise-versa. Yes, he talked a lot! And laughed a lot. His silence will be deafening.

Aaron you will be greatly missed by everyone who loved you! Thank you for the precious memories you left us. You will forever live in our hearts!
