Not a day goes by that we don't talk about you. Your kindness, humor, and gentle way are missed so much ( oh, and the endless twerking). We love you so much your absence is unbearable at times. See you soon my little otter - Mama.

His Gpa Swenson and I will forever miss him.  He was a blessing to our family and a special young man in many ways.  Today is a hard one for all of us, but especially for our daughter Brigitte and for Michelle and his sister Emilee.  Until we see you again Aidan……
Love,
Gma Swenson❤️

Deputy Swenson & Michelle, 

I am truly saddened to hear of your loss.  There are no words that I can convey that would ease your pain or grief.  Please know though that  Aiden will always live on in your hearts and memories. 

Principal Leonard Harris 

My sincere sympathies Rebela and Ron and your extended family members.

I remember  meeting a high energy, spirited, joyful wee babe by the name of Aidan at Grandma's, shortly after you had gotten him back to the states. Few have to jump thru  so many rings  and bear so much expense for the joy of having a child, but you did so willingly and gratefully. Clearly, from all the great stories and pics ya'll did a great job raising a fun loving, kind, and generous soul. Apparently, 
he fit a lot of living and laughter into his almost 17 years. You blessed him with a great life, one full of unlimited love and opportunity,  and he blessed you back with immeasurable love, joy, happiness, and countless memories from which you'll draw comfort from for the years to come. May God bless the entire family with a peace that defies human understanding in the days ahead.
Much Love,
Cousin Sondra:)

We met Aidan when he was a toddler at Reynolds family birthday parties.   We got to watch him grow up to become a fine young man.  He was considerate, helpful, and happy.  He was a pleasure to be around.  It was great getting to see him last Thanksgiving when he was excited to see his friends, and also again at Lauren's graduation.  Since we saw him only occasionally, we got to see his progress into young adult hood.  He was making plans for his future and they involved helping others.  You can both be proud of a job well done as parents.  Our love and hugs to your family.   Joan & Denny Palmer

My absolute best friend in the entire world. May your sweet and loving soul rest in peace.

Aidan was my best friend. We met in 7th in our gym class. The first thing I noticed about him was that he was super funny and honest. I never felt pressure to be someone I wasn't because Aidan was himself wholeheartedly. Thankfully, I got the gift of being chosen by Aidan to be his locker mate for our entire junior year. I got to see him every single morning and he walked me to my moms' car every afternoon. Aidan was so sweet that my mom instantly got attached to his silly personality. I loved coming to school and being able to share a laugh with him to start my day. Aidan always made my day brighter. He will forever be in my heart💛

This is one of my favorite memories with Aidan because this was the start of our friendship. I met Aidan back when we were in 7th grade together. This was our first field trip together as lindblom students. We shared so many laughs that day.

This day we all took a picture because it was Sam's last day at practice. We was all goofing around and having a good time.

Aidan was just such a bright person. You could never be sad around him. He made sure you would leave practice smiling or at least a little happier than when you walked in. He gave the best advice and would let you know what you wanted to hear and even what you didn’t. Nobody could have imagined this would happen , but just know you are very loved and we will make sure you live through us❤️. My condolences to the family and we will keep praying for you guys ❤️❤️

My name is Tajourney, and I’m a rising sophomore at Lindblom. I remember how beautiful Aidan played in the band, and being so mesmerized when our teacher played different pieces that Advanced Band performed and I heard his amazing solo. 

He was truly becoming amazing at his craft, and he has always so kind and sweet, encouraging us before every concert, making making sure we knew he knew what it was like to be scared and nervous. He was such a kind soul, may he rest in peace.

Dear Brigette, Michelle, and Emilee,

I am so, so sorry to learn of Aiden’s death. I can’t imagine the depth of your loss and heartbreak. I so loved watching Aiden and Emilee grow up during their time at First U and getting to know all of you a bit while you were a part of that community. 

How dearly I wish this were different. There are no words. Know that Aiden, and your whole family, have remained in my heart from those years and will continue to do so. I send you my sincere condolences and wishes for comfort and peace in time.

Best,
Rev Teri Schwartz 

Brigitte and Michelle, I send my most heartfelt prayers and condolences to both of you and your families. I pray for comfort and peace during this difficult time. 

With love,

Our last family trip together in April! I’m so grateful  that we were able to do that!❤️

Wonderfully supportive All-Star team member.

Aidan, you fought so hard. Your light shone through even though we never spoke. It was a pleasure to take care of you. We will never know why life was cut short for you, but it is evident how many peoples lives were better just for knowing you. Fly high. 

This amazing young man brought such joy to those around him. So sorry for your loss.

I’m so happy you and your sister were able to go to our Spring Dance - I remember talking to you about it the next day and you saying you were surprised by how much fun you had. I loved all your visits to stage crew after practicing with band - and you helped when you could. I’m going to miss catching up with you and Zakia before class.
