To the Family, though I did not know your loved one, I too suffered the loss of a loved one in Inglewood recently.

May your loved one rest in peace, and you have my sincerest condolences. Families should not have keep on going through this pain and anguish.

Aaron was a true friend and a true person and he has such love for god and the people in his life! He always came to the rescue if you needed him and that is a void that will never be filled. Its such tragic loss and he is at peace with no worries and struggles anymore. My heart goes out to his 3 year old son and his mother, especially. You dealt with a lot Aaron in your life but i'm glad you don't have to anymore! And for those who did this to you, they will have to answer to god and to life! I love you and thank you for all you've done for me! R.I.P My Friend.

Its sad that another young good male, son, brother,father and a good friend has been taking 4rm us. Aaron was a true good friend. My prayers do go out to his MOTHER AND FAMILY AND TO THE MOTHER OF HIS CHILD. AARON WAS A VERY VERY GOOD PERSON WHO LOVE TO LAUGH AND DANCE. ITS SAD TO KNOW HE HAS GONE HIM AND HIS BROTHER USE TO COME TO MY HOUSE EVERY MORNING TO PICK UP ME AND MY SISTER AND WALK TO SCHOOL. MAN HE WILL BE TRUELY MISSED.........

Aaron Bacomb was a dear and loving friend, easy to talk to, very humble, sweet, and hardworking. We just went to Knotts, we were with him Easter Sunday. His main priorities were working and providing for his 3yr old son. Aaron was a wonderful father, brother, friend, and son. You didn't even have to know him to love him. He was a genuinely sweet guy. You will truly be missed all the memories over the years we have I am thankful for and I will truly cherish them. Now you and Wayne can check out all the pretty ANGELS IN HEAVEN . WE LOVE YOU R.I.P. BROTHER

Aaron "Scooby" Bascomb.. I remember when me & "A-DOG" first meet, he had just finished boxing with some of our teammates at Compton High School. Aaron was all pumped up because he went 2-0 and made someone nose bleed. I told him that he had "HANDS". He told me to get in the gloves, I laughed and said Child Please.. So I ended up catching a faded with him, it was GREAT. Aaron was so powerful & fast, and that's the way he lived his life. Aaron wasn't scared of anyone BUT "LOVED EVERYONE". It hurts me to know MY BEST FRIEND is gone, he had so much work to do. Tee,Myself,& Lake will for 4EVER LOVE YOU (N.A.D.) But the cool thing is YOUR SON WILL BE GREATER THAN YOU HAD EVER IMAGINED... Aaron this one will make you LAUGH BRO!!....(Remember when we all drove to Victor Ville & we went to that bang'N a$$ party, & on the way back 2 LA my dumb a$$ fella sleep, while I was driving & almost killed us all....LMAO!!!!! & we was running all over the 15Freeway. Then we finally got back home & my mom was PI$$ED because we F'd up her car...LOL!!!!!!! & she made yo catch the bus home at 6:00am in the morning...) THANK YOU AARON FOR GIVING THIS SINGLE PARENT CHILD A "TRUE BROTHER"......THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

My prayers go out to the Bascomb Family. Aaron was a beautiful young man & a brother to my cousin Chazz. RIP Aaron

We will all try to remember that you are in a way better place in hopes of comforting our broken hearts!! We love you!! Dre, Tareia, Jameia, Tremain, Tamara, Tanya and Flip!!
April 13, 2010 at 11:21 p.m.
Little brother, you will be missed. Aaron was into GOD. He sung in the choir, and when asked to do something in church he responded to the task. Aaron loved and cared for his son. Aaron loved and cared for anyone who would receive it. Your church family will miss you....your immediate family will miss you....your friends will miss you. I gave you your "flowers" while you were here, but I still would like to give more. As would all who knew you. Aaron was a saved soul,who believed and accepted Jesus Christ. This is the reason why we who have done the same can say, "see you soon bruh!"
April 14, 2010 at 12:04 p.m.
Aaron B. WAS A Respectable PERSON, SON, NEPHEW, BROTHER , UNCLE, FRIEND AND ALSO WAS A INCREDIBLE FATHER TO HIS SON. i REALLY DoNT KNOW WHAT TO SAY...BUT i WiLL REMEMBER THE LAST WORDS YOU SAID TO ME THE SUNDAY PRIOR...yOU WANTED TO BECOME A MUSICIAN(Piano Player) AT THE CHURCH AND i SAID I'LL SET IT UP WITH THE HOMMIE "Q" CAUSE iT WOULD'VE BEEN NICE TO HAVE A YOUNG MUSICAL STAFF.
April 14, 2010 at 2:13 p.m.
I'm in complete shock. I haven't talked to Aaron in years but I remember him as a funny ,respectable, God-fearing, free spirited person with a nice smile. He was always smilng. My family and I send our condolences to his family and friends and may God be with his son and the mother. See you again in heaven friend.

To the Bascomb family please except my condolences on the loss of your love one Aaron, just two months ago in Feb. my family lossed my cousin who was just 21 years old and he too leaves behind a 9 month old baby girl. I get so tired of hearing about this type of loss of young black men being gunned down for no reason, this has got to stop. I will pray that this family will be strong and believe that justice will be served, may he rest in peace as I hope the same for my cousin.

Aaron was my youngest brother. The last time I saw him was January 2007. The last time we spoke was on April 1st, he called to wish me a Happy Birthday. My little brother was loved dearly by everyone. I dont understand why this happened to such a good person. The best way I can describe it is that God gives us very special people or His Angels for a short time. I will miss my brother dearly. He was such a happy spirit. He loved to laugh, dance, and had a great talent for art. He was a wonderful artist. I believe his drawings are one of a kind. I will conclude but there is so much more I say. Aaron please know that me, your family and friends will do our very best to make sure "Aamir" is well taken care of. I know that he was the most important person on earth to you. I love you and will see you soon in Heaven.

I Just Wanna Say That I Have Known Aaron Ever Since he was a baby his family and I go way back, his mom and I were like sisters back in the day,The news of his death saddens me tremendously.I can remember him as a little boy always smiling.He was the baby of the family a happy go lucky kid He is at peace now with the Lord.The last time that I saw Aaron was at a funeral for his cousin who was senselessly gunned down and murdered he wasn't even 18 yrs old when he died.This has got to come to an end we must pray to GOD for a divine intervention to stop these senseless murders.Aaron was a good person who lost his life for nothing I often wonder to God why do good people have to die in this way? Only GOD knows the answer to that question. My heartfelt prayers and condolenses go out to his family especially his mama,his siblings and his son who has to grow up without his dad.Just remember when the pain gets to hard to bare that GOD is still on the throne and whoever did this to him GOD will deal with them in this life or the next.To his mama, sista keep praying and try and stay strong...This is so sad...May the love of Jesus be with you all....Rest in peace Aaron
April 15, 2010 at 11:51 p.m.
Aaron we will all miss you. You will not be forgotten ever. Your memory will live on as we tell stories of the person you were. We will teach Ahmir how brave you were and how much you sacrificed for and loved him. We will encourage him to take on his fathers greatest traits. I am discouraged that you had to leave us so soon but, it is all part of God's plan.
Even though we are here hurting we know you are in a better place.
You will forever be missed.
Love,
Dana, Zyon and Jahmir

Ive known aaron for number of years, him & my son and papa were the best of friends, people used say that my son delvon and aaron were twins because they looked so much alike. Aaron was cut down in his prime, but he's in a much better place. May god bless the family and be strong. CliftonC. And family
