I was shocked and saddened to recently learn of Aaron’s passing. We dated for two years during high school and college, and while it may have been a long time ago, I have such fond memories of him. He was kind, funny, and fiercely loyal to his family and friends. My heart goes out to the Melzers during this difficult time.
I had actually flown from Ohio to see Secrets and to meet some friends for the first time that I met online through the band. He was so shocked to see me there and hung out with us the whole time when they weren’t on stage. He even trusted us to man the merch booth when their merch girl was away. At the end of the night he got us all in a big group with the band and had us all pose for a photo together. He lifted all of us girls in the air for a huge hug before they packed the bus in. It will forever be a great memory of mine – including being front row and getting a mic grab with my friend. Love you Aaron!
Can’t believe it’s been almost 5 years this November. Aaron was an incredibly kind, and influential person to me in my adolescence. The first time we met, I was able to share the stage with Aaron at my local Warped Tour. It is still to this day one of the best and most proudest moments of my life, and I’m so lucky that that moment was shared with him. I miss him all the time. His absence is truly felt, and there’s a lot of Aaron-sized-holes in all the lives that he touched. I hope he knows how much we all miss him.

He got annoyed at me because my arms weren’t long enough so he said he wanted to take the picture,
