I am still O.O over this. It's put me in a funk all day.  R.I.P. my hunting brother.

You are sooooo right kazekurt. A TRUE HERO! This man everyone is speaking of is A TRUE HERO! For those who were able to know him are the lucky ones and for his family here at huntWa we couldn't be prouder. To you I salute fallen soldier as we are who we are because of individuals such as you that fight for our freedom. Rip

Another pic from his Facebook, don't know how anybody could have a dry eye after checking out his wall.

Just remember, Gone but not forgotten... Never forgotten. My family will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.

RIP brother, I never knew you but know that not only did we as fellow hunters lose a friend but the wildlife of Washington lost a devoted individual.

RIP Aaron

I like others never met him in person but feel like I knew him well through this site. In the 6 years as a member of this site I have never experienced something as touching as this...it has taken me all day to read through the post and be able to compose myself to write this message.

Prayers and Condolences to the family and friends.

Never surprised, but always amazed at the support of the Hunt-Wa community. Lets do all we can to support the family please.

I was asked on another forum if there is an official release from the department of the Army yet?
