A Note from the Family
Aaron had a dream to be a Coast Guardsman. He wanted to save lives and be part of something bigger than himself. On 28 June, 2016, he began that dream when he and his fellow Recruits set foot on the grounds of the Cape May Training Center in New Jersey. He was ready to serve his Country.
Only a few days later, due to complications from the Sickle Cell Trait, he collapsed on the training course. On 6 July with his family and new Coast Guard family by his bedside, Aaron passed away. By donating his heart, Aaron was able to fulfill his purpose as a Coastie and save a life.
Aaron was larger than life. He was witty, loyal, and committed to excellence; and we will miss him every moment of every day. His family and friends have experienced first-hand, the love and support of the Coast Guard family. From the moment Aaron was admitted to the hospital, until his final day on Earth, the Coast Guard stood guard over him. On 19 August, posthumously, Aaron became an honorary graduate of Delta Company 193, earned the Rank of Seaman, and is forever a U.S. Coast Guardsman. Today, he has an Eagle’s-eye view and stands guard over all those he loved.
This Gold Star Family established the Aaron Redd Foundation on what would have been his 23rd birthday, January 19, 2018. Thank you for continuing to support our efforts to make a difference in projects that honor Aaron's legacy. Each year, we will continue to support programs and opportunities that inspire leadership, honor and respect.
We are grateful to our entire extended family and faithful friends for supporting us on our journey to celebrate Aaron’s life – now and always. We appreciate your kindness and generosity by playing and sponsoring in the tournament. Our hearts are full.
Peace.
Eileen, Frank and Evan Redd
