★★★ Memorial Monday ★★★
CAPT Aaron Cox, USMC '05, was lost on May 5, 2009 when the Super Cobra helicopter he was co-piloting crashed while on a training flight in San Diego County. A native of Little Rock, Arkansas, he was born in Phoenix in 1982.
Voted "Best Personality" at his high school, Aaron was a member of the cross-country track team, the all-state swim team, and the Little Rock Lasers swim team. His family remembers: "A super friend who embraced all of life enthusiastically and unconditionally, inspiring others to 'Follow me!'"
He was survived by his parents, sister, maternal grandmother, and many aunts and uncles. "Also surviving Aaron are the friends he collected throughout his life. Wherever he went, Aaron met people with an easy smile and an open heart. He will be remembered for the kindness, honesty, loyalty and devotion he gave freely and consistently to his family, friends and country, and for a wisdom beyond his years."
To Honor! ⚓
