Subject: [Ohio-talk] Aidan Carter dies

This morning I learned that Aidan Carter died last night. Most of you on this list didn’t know Aidan, but those of us who did are fortunate that he touched our lives. Aidan was a participant in our first Ohio BELL Academy, and he came back every summer. Last summer he came back as a volunteer, because he aged out of the program. Aidan was a happy kid who seemed to never have a bad day. We know he did, because we all do. Aidan just went through life determined to be cheerful and to do what he could to help others. I can’t count how many times I heard him ask”how can I help?” What can I do? What do you need?

We do the work we do to support BELL, and we change the lives of blind children, but they change our lives in immeasurable ways as well. Aidan turned 15 on December 30. He changed his corner of the world for the better in ways that many will not should they live to be 115. 
I am glad to have known Aidan Carter, and I am proud to have been his friend and grateful that he was mine.

Here are words from his Pastor. 



My dear friends,
 
It is with great sadness that I share the news that our dear and beloved friend Aidan Carter passed away last night. Aidan died of apparent complications of the flu. Service details will be forthcoming after the family meets with Spence Funeral Home tomorrow. Please hold Heidi, Todd, and Kendall in your prayers. Please also hold each other in prayer as we grieve the loss of  this most amazing friend in our life together. Blessings on us all in these days.

My love to you all,
Pastor Dave


Eric
