"I know I was born and I know that I'll die
The in between is mine."

21 years of in between came to an end for Aaron Austin Tyler Tubbs on August 31, 2018, following a car accident.

Aaron, also known affectionately by his loved ones as "Boy", and "Chub-Chub", was born on April 11, 1997.  He was a bright, sweet, loving child, who was oddly fascinated by the moon.  At the age of three, he became an obstinate and holy terror, taking joy in deliberately irritating his loved ones, and anyone else who happened nearby; this would prove to be a lifelong pastime.  Eventually, Aaron developed an eclectic taste in music, an interesting sense of fashion, an offbeat sense of humor, and a fondness for helping people in need.  He assumed the obligations of adulthood with good grace and composure.  He had an opinion about everything, which he did not hesitate to express, or to refine.  He was empathetic, compassionate, enthusiastic, and never afraid to be the person he was. Throughout his life, Aaron was rarely seen without a smile; from the mischievous, toothy grin of his childhood, to the smirk of his teenage years; the small, private smile he used when thinking before speaking, and the huge, goofy laugh so frequently heard in his adulthood.

Aaron was a light in the lives of all those he spent time with. The void left by his passing will be felt deeply by an extended variety of family, friends, colleagues and acquaintances.

In accordance with Aaron's wishes, no funeral or calling hours will be held.  We encourage everyone who knew him to celebrate Aaron's life in a manner of their choosing, and invite all to share their thoughts, stories, pictures and memories of Aaron at https://www.facebook.com/CelebratingAaron
