In Loving Memory of Aaron Tomlin
Aaron Tomlin died alone in a room somewhere in Jerusalem and was buried on Dec 19, 2010. Had I not been informed by an old friend who tracked me down, his death would have been in almost complete obscurity. Over the last few years he had broken contact with many friends, so this memorial site is a tribute to our friend Aaron, and a place where you can share memories and words of respect.
Keeping the virtual candle lit for our friend. See you on the other side, Brother.

Our friend has left us
I met Aaron around 1991 or 1992 in Jerusalem, and we had remained good friends until 2004. I had fallen out of contact with him when I moved back to the States, and had no communication with him until I was informed of the sad news.
Every day that goes by, it sinks in a little more that Aaron will never be coming back. It's a bitter pill to swallow, and one everyone has to deal with as we age and experience the death of friends and loved ones.
Aaron was likely in a great deal of pain when he passed, as he had been battling severe pain and loss of consciousness since the onset of his disease in China. There is no more pain, and let us pray that Aaron is now in a better place.

On the static pages of this site, the content is a work in progress. Aaron -- I hope to see you on the other side, Brother.
