Aaron was educated in the Kansas City, Kansas public school system, and graduated from Sumner High School in 1952.

Years later, he graduated from Park College with a Masters degree in Sociology.

He was a clean, classy, stylish dresser who loved hats, clothes and shoes. He always smelled good! Aaron enjoyed reading, studying politics, and history, particularly black history. He was heavily active in the community. He was always there to lend a helping hand to those in need.

Aaron accepted Christ in his life at an early age. He was a member of Metropolitan Spiritual Church of Christ, Kansas City, Missouri under the leadership of Bishop James D. Tindall, Sr.

Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.
