Aaron's wife Jessica announced his passing on social media, describing him as having an "unparalleled talent and passion for music" and being a "devoted father".

She wrote: "Aaron was not only an incredibly accomplished drummer, admired by many for his unparalleled talent and passion for music, but he was also a devoted father to our precious son, August." She continued: "His love, guidance, and warmth were the pillars of our family, and his absence leaves a void that words cannot describe. "We are blessed to have him in our lives, his legacy will live on through the beautiful rhythms he created and the love he shared with us. "We appreciate all the thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Please remember Aaron for the incredible person he was and the amazing music he brought into our world. At this time we ask for privacy as we work our way through this.
