Aaron and Lana owned and operated Geurts’ Bar and Grill for 22 years. There they compiled a large extended family and great memories. Aaron also enjoyed driving truck for Gene Fredrickson for the last 12 years before retiring in September of 2019.
Aaron had a love for old cars and car shows, camping with his family and friends, and striking up conversations with a personality that left you wanting to come back for more. Once you met him, you wouldn’t forget him.
He taught his six grandchildren many life lessons and they taught him many as well. Including those about venomous ducks and guard monkeys. They brought each other great joy.
