Three memories of Aaron J. Blasjo
Aaron was one of those guys you'd never forget. He stood tall for his beliefs and had a bigger heart than most. I'll never forget what he did for this country.
Dear Family and Friends,
I didn't know Aaron, but I'm sure he was a nice young man and was loved very much. I'd like to give my condolences. Almighty God gives us a promise in the Bible at Revelation 21:4 it says: "He will wipe out every tear from their eye and death will be no more, neither will mourning, nor outcry, nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. This is a wonderful hope for the future. May peace and comfort be with you.
Aaron left behind a two month old son. This was the beginning of his 3rd tour. He loved his country. I want to thank the Veterans that showed up at his service in Riverside. They had flags and showed so much respect for the family as they entered the service. His family is one of the finest I've ever known. I am a step brother to the family.
