This is a tough one. Rest in heaven Aaron.
I remember being so scared to walk up to you when I was 22 years old at Bowie town centre and I was shaking. I couldn’t believe I could meet my hero! I was early in my professional barber career and I wanted to see if I could just maybe cut your hair. You never judged me for cutting in the back of my mom’s house with a lack luster setup. You treated me the same as anyone else. You always believed in me even when I didn’t believe in myself.
Aaron you were an angel sent from heaven. You were the epitome of humility and you gave me my first real opportunity as a barber. There would be no Guided Hands as it is today without Aaron Spears. I went from shaky hands to calling you, my big brother. Aaron, you showed me what it is to be a man of honor, consistency, love, and a man of your word. You often would remind me to “Always remember to stay humble”. You were easily one of the biggest musicians in the world but people would never know it because you showed up as the most down to earth person. I learned so much from you and the man you were. Our relationship spanned almost 8 years and what you taught me in those years is priceless. And we almost never talked about drums! We talked mostly just about life, our family and sports. And we laughed together all the time! I was always trying to find new ways to make you laugh.
The memorial was yesterday and I pretty much cried the entire time (and I cried writing this too) and this is coming from someone who can count on one hand how many times I’ve cried in my life!
Gone too soon, Aaron. I will miss our conversations, laughs, and your infectious positive energy. If I could be half of the man you were, then that would be success in my eyes. Don’t worry, I will be here for August and Jess with whatever they need. Love you big bro. Rest in heaven.
