Obituary of Aaron Spink

Spink, Aaron – June 26, 1993-January 17, 2017 At his home on January 17, 2017, Aaron, a much-loved son, brother, grandson, boyfriend, nephew, cousin and friend, died. Loving, adored and kind, Aaron left us suddenly and tragically. A student of art and design at George Brown College, who recently discovered a passion for the visual arts, Aaron’s curiosity led him to many hours exploring and learning from collections and exhibitions across Toronto. He was instantly drawn to classic landscapes and still life, many of which inspired him as a visual artist. Aaron planned to use his interest to design online games. Throughout his short life, Aaron loved the outdoors and animals, was an absolute star in mathematics, an avid reader, a soccer goalie and video game enthusiast. He was happiest in the company of family and good friends. Aaron is mourned by his parents Shelley and Nigel, his brothers Jordan and Liam, grandparents Stan and Sheila Aylesworth, Eric Spink and Susie Aylesworth, his aunt and uncle Sherry and Tim Aylesworth in Kingston, numerous aunts and uncles in Niagara Falls and Toronto, and cousins. Other treasured people in Aaron’s life are his girlfriend Sarah, her children and his classmates and instructors at George Brown College. Visitation will be at JAMES REID FUNERAL HOME, 1900 John Counter Boulevard on Thursday from 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. A celebration of Aaron’s life will be held in the James Reid Reception Centre (please enter from the rear parking lot) on Friday, January 27, 2017 between 2:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. In keeping with his love of the outdoors and he and his brothers’ use of its facilities and programs, donations to the Friends of Outreach in support of the Gould Lake Outdoor Centre would be welcomed.
