His paternal grandfather showed him how to fix things on cars or tractors. Aiden enjoyed being busy, and enjoyed doing anything that made people smile. When Aiden was around 10, He connected a milk crate to the front of his bike and would ride his bike around town picking up spare “treasures”, that he would then show his grandfather and they would find places to store it just in case they needed it for a project in the future. Aiden really enjoyed spending time at the family lake cabin. There were always chores that needed done, or projects that needed accomplished. Aiden would spend the morning on chores or projects and then in the afternoon take the side-by-side atv and drive around the roads, picking up treasures or swimming and other water pursuits. Aiden was always up for an adventure and would do anything with his family and friends. After meeting the love of his life, Czarina, they moved to Santa Rosa, New Mexico to start their new lives together. Aiden still enjoyed spending time outside and near water whenever he could. While in Santa Rosa, Aiden, being left handed, trained himself to be ambidextrous so he was able to tattoo with both hands. Aiden was working odd jobs, even working on starting a tattoo business, trying to save up enough to move to Albuquerque where he had a job in apartment maintenance lined up. Known for his kind heart, and infectious smile, Aiden left a lasting impact on everyone he met. Aiden was deeply devoted to family and friends. Aiden would do absolutely anything to help out a family member or a friend. He was always trying to make those he loved smile and happy. Aiden’s talent in tattoo art allowed him to capture beauty through his unique lens, creating memories that his family and friends will treasure.
