Aiden touched many lives with his positive attitude, wit, and love.  He liked to spend time with his brother, buddies, and family whether it was camping, playing his X-box, playing baseball, or amazing an audience with magic tricks.  Aiden loved to laugh and entertain others with jokes and games like "Would You Rather?" Aiden had an army, Aiden's Army, people of all ages from all over the country, who bonded in love and prayer.  They uplifted and supported him throughout his journey.  Aiden was his grandpa's pal; he and Marv loved to hang out together.  The family dog, Theodore, brought new licks, and a best-buddy relationship to Aiden's life.
