We were devastated to hear of AJ’s death. He had such a kind heart & infectious laugh that no one will ever forget! He & his special group of friends enjoyed life & each other as they grew up together from t-ball to college. You definitely raised a great son (actually two)!!! AJ will be deeply missed.
