He lived with his family in Sioux Falls before moving to the current family home northeast of Sioux Falls. Aaron received his elementary education at Calvin Christian School in Sioux Falls. He would have been a senior at Sioux Falls Christian School this coming fall. It is hard to begin to describe Aaron's life and all that his life encompassed. He was dearly loved by so many. Aaron started his journey as an energetic, excited and fun-loving kid with a great zest for life. He put his talents to use on the basketball court, track field and soccer field. He earned honors in track and basketball. In addition he was honored as a member of the 1st team for All-State soccer and was a member of Sioux Falls Christian's state champion soccer team in 2005. Aaron also loved the outdoors and spent any available time hunting (especially bow hunting), fishing and snowmobiling. Aaron's devotion to excel in all areas of his life was evident in the way he lived. All of us who were touched by his countenance and were fortunate to spend time with Aaron will ever be grateful to God� especially Aaron's dad and his brother for the wonderful adventures they shared together. Aaron's compassion and heart for others were experienced by so many. His love of life, love for his brother and sister and love for his parents and friends will be sorely missed. There are times we cannot understand the hows and whys of life, but we must simply trust God. Sometimes life doesn't seem fair and none of us knows when our time on earth is over and the door to our eternal life will be opened. Because Aaron fully believed in the saving blood of his Savior and the free gift of salvation, he is now enjoying all that heaven has to offer. Grateful for having shared his life are his parents, Curt and Jody DeWitt, Brandon, SD; a brother and sister, Joshua and Hannah DeWitt, Brandon, SD; his grandparents, Wes and Jean Van Essen, Pipestone, MN, John and Greta DeWitt, Brandon, SD; many beloved aunts, uncles and cousins; and a host of other relatives and friends. Aaron was preceded in death by a cousin, J. Allen DeWitt. In lieu of flowers, Aaron's family requests that memorials be directed to Sioux Falls Christian School.

I really miss Aaron....i can not wait to see him in heaven someday...i wonder what heaven is like.....Speaking of missing people, i'm going to post some of my favorite song lyrics as well, i know you will enjoy those....HERE THEY ARE!...

Two months is too little. They let him go. They had no sudden healing. To think that providence would Take a child from his mother while she prays Is appalling. Who told us we’d be rescued? What has changed and why should we be saved from nightmares? We’re asking why this happens To us who have died to live? It’s unfair. Chorus: This is what it means to be held. How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life And you survive. This is what it is to be loved. And to know that the promise was When everything fell we’d be held. This hand is bitterness. We want to taste it, let the hatred NUMB our sorrow. The wise hands opens slowly to lilies of the valley and tomorrow. (Chorus) This is what it means to be held. How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life And you survive. This is what it is to be loved. And to know that the promise was When everything fell we’d be held. Bridge: If hope is born of suffering. If this is only the beginning. Can we not wait for one hour watching for our Savior? (Chorus) This is what it means to be held. How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life And you survive. This is what it is to be loved. And to know that the promise was When everything fell we’d be held.
