Aaron Beck, a loving father from Virginia, was known for his deep affection for his 18-month-old son. The bond between them was unbreakable and Aaron cherished every moment he spent with his little boy. However, one fateful day, tragedy struck and a sequence of events occurred that no one could have predicted.

It’s a situation no parent ever expects to find themselves in, a nightmare that will haunt Aaron for the rest of his life.
When officers arrived at his home, they found Aaron’s car door wide open and the child seat empty. Inside the house, they discovered the boy’s lifeless body. Behind the house, in the woods, Aaron’s body was discovered.
Aaron was described as “generous, gentle, kind and soft with his son” by his family and friends. He worked as a draftsman. With his undying love, he paid tribute to the power of parenthood and the goodness of the human heart.
Father and baby were suddenly stolen from my great friend in tragedy Tuesday morning, according to a GoFundMe page set up to support the family during these trying days. Even if some costs are already covered, they cannot be planned in detail. This GoFundMe was set up to help her with some of her financial burdens.
