Aaron passed after a 19-month battle with Glioblastoma. We are heartbroken beyond words. I can’t imagine life without him but we take solace in knowing that he’s walked into glory - the only glory that truly matters. Thank you to everyone that supported us during the past 19 months through texts, posts, phone calls, visits, and fundraisers. Your kindness, prayers, and love encouraged us every day and Aaron and I wholeheartedly felt your love.

RIP Furious Hog Snatcher. God bless ya brother. Prayers for all his family and loved ones. 

I was just watching his Bassmaster Greatest Hits video. Watching him yank 4 pounders from 20' back in the toules at Havasu in 2015 might be the coolest thing I've seen in bass fishing. Aaron was one of the all time greats. Fantastic fisherman, and just an AWESOME personality.

Is there any way @Glenn can take donations from members and then donate them to the family on behalf of BR members? I would donate.

Horrible news to hear about Aaron.. enjoyed watching his catches on the tournament trail a few years ago. I Feel awful for his family during this time. He will be missed deeply.

I met A-mart at an Elite Series event at Table Rock several years ago. I was actually talking to Zona and he came up and joined the conversation. He was nice guy and the exact same as he is on TV. I could tell his mind was going warp speed through all the details of the day and what to do the next day. He must have been pretty dialed, because he finished 4th, less than 2lbs from the winner. Sad day for the sport, he will be missed.

I never met Aaron but from hearing what everyone says, I believe he fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith. Rest easy furious hog snatcher

A sad day for the bass world .

I was totally caught off guard with the news of Aaron's passing. I had not heard or read anything about his condition deteriorating and I thought he was getting better.

 

Prayers to the family during this terrible time.

 

We all will miss Aaron and his quiet approach to fishing.

 

RIP Aaron.
