Obituary for Aaron Michael Karney
We bid farewell to Aaron, a dad, son, brother Grandson, friend and beacon of light, who departed from this world on March 10th 2025 leaving behind a legacy of warmth and kindness."
Aaron was proud to have played for the Slammers, a competitive baseball team he joined at a young age, coached by Mr. Gleason, who maintained the same roster for several years. The team achieved significant success by advancing to the Little League World Series in Sylvania, Ohio. A strong team bond has been established. Aaron maintained his baseball career throughout his life, culminating in a state championship victory during his junior year and a runner-up finish in his senior year, following a fifteen-inning loss to Eaton. Aaron (Bus) played fullback for the La Junta Tigers football team, where he demonstrated exceptional skill.
Aaron's dedication and hard work helped him achieve his dream: owning Outrider's Bar and Grill. We admired how he made his colleagues his second family, sharing the joys and challenges of their lives." Aaron's personality, singing and dancing performances consistently delighted and entertained audiences; he had extensive musical knowledge, Aaron knew every artist! While Aaron has achieved significant accomplishments, his children remain his proudest achievements and hold the most cherished place in his heart. Charly, Tripp, Maddox, Gradi, Lulu, and Dekker. Aaron would talk about them with love and pride. Charly was asked if there was something that came to mind about her dad. She said" ya, he was a s*** talker, ha. An irreplaceable loss. Aaron will be deeply missed and is survived by his children, Charly, Tripp, Maddox, Gradi, Lulu and Dekker. Aaron’s mother Timi (Earl), sister Aimee, Brother Trevor, nephews Javin and Mario, and his grandparents, Eddie, Lydia, and Jean. Aaron was predeceased by his aunt G. Aaron's memory will be cherished always. 💕
