Aaron was one of the kindest person I have ever met. We had some good times together. He had such a great smile! My condolences go out to Trena and the rest of the family. He will be missed but never forgotten.

I was shaken by the news of Aaron's passing at such a young age with so much life still ahead of him. I have great memories of talking football and the NFL with him when we worked together in the office. I always enjoyed hearing his thoughts on the game we both loved to watch and critique! It was a great break from the stressful environment of the workplace.

He is in a place now where he can watch all the football he wants, rest in peace Aaron. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.

My mind still doesn’t allow me to believe I am not gonna get a call from Aaron saying “J Tizzle, I am in town dinner let’s go” I think it was about 7 years ago when Aaron, Pat, and I walked into Firebag together for orientation on an upcoming winter drill program. I had never met these gents prior but from that day forward we created a brotherhood I could have never imagined at the time. Adding a few members along the way (The Pass, and Harry) a group of guys that would tell each other we loved each other often! Aaron helped me with so much in life. He helped me through dark times with advice as well as good insight during good times. I will truly miss you brother. Love you.

Aaron was an incredible person. I hadn’t seen him in years until I ran into him and Trena at a hotel in Kananaskis. He hadn’t changed a bit. Still a very sincere and genuine person that is more focused on you and what you are doing than talking about himself.

Our hearts go out to his family and friends that are finding their way right now. One day at a time, with all the memories that Little O left you with. Our thoughts are with you.

Much love to you all.

Jason, Shannon, Thomas, and Janay Kell

Aaron.

We miss you man...

You were such a positive, smiling, joke-cracking, chuckling beam of light in the short time I was offered to get to know you that I am grateful to have known you and been a part of your team. Thank you for the time and energy you gifted me; I will always cherish the opportunity you gave me.

Aaron would call me when he was walking home after work or driving somewhere to check in and see if he could offer guidance or support as I adapted to his team. Aaron cared for others, and we all felt that.

Forever missed and never forgotten.

My brother from another Mother. Never will someone fill your shoes, my heart is destroyed. Who will supply $10 Prov 1 when we hit them in the trees. I weep for your family and wife. This world has turned to dust without you in it. Be waiting for me when I ride the lightning my friend.

I love you buddy, O will always remember the good times

I had the pleasure of having Aaron mentor me on several occasions. His had a unique ability to make our jobs interesting and enjoyable even when the events we were dealing with were not. He will be missed many. My condolences to all of Arron's family and friends.

Dear Trena and Olfert family,

I am deeply saddened to hear about Aaron's passing. Please accept my sincere condolences, as well as those of my wife Sharole. If there is anything we can do to support you during this difficult time, please do not hesitate to let us know.

Aaron was not only a wonderful colleague, but also a great friend. I could not have asked for a better person to work with. His dry humor often brightened our days, whether we were working together or simply grabbing a coffee in the +15. I will miss the sound of his soft chuckle in response to a witty comment, a silly question, or a hidden truth no longer concealed in the dark. I will miss the many gifs he sent with his texts, which always made me smile, even when I didn't feel like it. I will miss the rolling growl of his voice as he searched for the right words, because he always cared about being understood and understanding others. I will miss the many times we spent talking, eating, and sharing a few pints of Guinness while discussing life, love, and everything that really matters. I will miss hearing his stories about his family and his travels, such as his recent trip to the speedway down south. He had such a zest for life, and he always saw the silver lining in any situation.

Aaron, I miss you.

Sincerely,

Grant
