A friend and colleague was shot and killed a few weeks ago. This is not a tale of someone who made the wrong choices in life. Aaron was a good man. He had reached a point in his life where he was where he wanted to be, in every sense of the phrase. He was happily married, expecting a child. He had started to pursue his dream, working as a music producer. He was working in a studio in an house near Turner Field in Atlanta when it was broken into. Wrong place, wrong time.

I thought about Aaron a lot when I skated A2A recently. It's a long skate and there is plenty of time to think. Despite all that time, I can't understand it. I don't know what to say, or how to help his wife (who is pregnant with their child). All I can say is that life is short. It can end at any time. Enjoy it while you can.
Rest in peace, Aaron.
