Aaron Scott Entsminger

Aaron was one of the funniest people I've ever known. He loved doing stand-up comedy at open mic nights, He was an accomplished extreme inline skater who made it to the X-Game Trials when he was a teenager. He had a heart of gold, and he was loved...

Aaron was obsessed with Tigger (from Winnie the Pooh) when he was a kid. He insisted on bouncing everywhere, (instead of walking) and, like Tigger, he never said "goodbye" - until the day he died, he would say "TTFN" (Ta Ta For Now") instead of goodbye. This is the memory that most stands out to me...

What I miss is his smile, his sense of humor, his big warm hugs and kiss on my cheek. Sometimes he would say, "Mom you smell like cookies" because of my vanilla perfume. I miss watching our favorite TV shows together and the way he could discuss any subject for hours. He loved to talk politics, ancient civilizations, UFO theories and he also loved movies, reading and music. He was just so interesting and intelligent. So many of his friends have told me they will never forget him or the long talks they had.

I think Aaron would like to be remembered for his big heart, his empathy for others, his cheering on of the underdogs in life. He had a soft spot for kittens and cats. Also his inline skating skills and his love of doing stand-up comedy. He loved to make people laugh, and if you were feeling down, you only had to spend a short time with him to feel better and be laughing again.
