======AARON MICHAEL BUSH======

Last Edited March 18, 2013

Born July 19, 1987 at Herrick Hospital in Tecumseh, Michigan to Mark Edward and Nancy Lynne Bush. 

Aaron joined the family with his brother, Nathan, who was 3 years old. 

Aaron developed asthma at a young age. Part of that was his allergy to cats.  He would need his inhaler when he came to our house. He so far hasn't outgrown being bothered from the cat.  

I was given one of the bookmarks that he won a prize for when he was in about 2nd grade. 

I remember that Aaron liked to be close by at any of the birthday parties for his brothers or his cousins. 

On the trip out west with the Bush family in the summer of 2001, I remember it was Aaron that counted the cars on a train that went by. The cars were loaded with coal.  There were well over a hundred cars on that train.

Aaron played the trumpet in the Britton School band when he was in junior high and senior high school.  We enjoyed going to the band concerts.  He did a great job on a trumpet solo at one of the concerts.  He also played in the Honors Band at the Tecumseh Center for the Arts and we went to hear the band. 

Aaron liked playing basketball with his brothers and cousins at our house. 

Aaron reminded me of his Uncle Ward Bush,. when he talked to you, his eyes lit up and he had a big smile.  Aaron did the same. 

We used to go to Prielipp's Greenhouse, where Aaron worked during the spring and summer to get flowers to plant in the yard.  Aaron was always hard at work, but always had time to say “hi” to us as he continued to work. 

It was a special honor to go to Aaron's high school graduation, since he was the salutatorian of his class and gave a very good speech.   

Aaron graduated from Spring Arbor University with honors and we were privileged to watch him graduate.

The summer before he started working at B.A.S.F., he painted our front porch.  It was a good chance to spend some time with him and to have the porch painted.  I did observe that he thought that the railings took a long time to paint. 

Aaron married Anna Cook on May 15, 2011 at Holy Ascension Orthodox Church in Albion, Michigan.
