Aaron Wilkerson

of Little Rock, AR

November 7, 1990 - April 1, 2019

Aaron Wilkerson 28, went to be with the Lord, Monday, April 1, 2019. He was born on November 7, 1990 in Town and Country, Missouri to George and Connie Wilkerson. Aaron graduated from Pulaski Academy and Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Dallas. He was the owner of Middle Matters Food Truck and worked as a Chef in numerous restaurants.

As those that knew him can attest, Aaron was always smiling and making everyone around him feel special. Sadly, he wasn't always able to do that for himself. Aaron specifically stated that he didn't view this as defeat, but as a chance to go be with UP and AJ and to watch over the rest of us until we rejoin him in heaven. His understanding of this, even at such a desperate moment, gives the family some comfort. Him making the effort to ensure we know that was just Aaron.

Aaron dearly loved spending time with his family and giving "Mommy" big huge bear hugs. Everyone got nicknames, including "Sarita" and "Ding-Ling". He was passionate about his cooking, enjoyed fishing and hunting with special friends or "The Dub" and snowboarding and hiking were his favorite ways to enjoy nature. Stories about all of those are too numerous to list and too happy to appear here. He will be missed as much as he loved.

Aaron was preceded in death by his aunt and uncle, whom he dearly loved; Rev. Pat and Jamie Wilkerson, his grandmother, Yvonne Cooper and his Aunt Helen Albright. He is survived by his parents; George and Connie Wilkerson; two siblings; Sarah Wilkerson and Staff Sergeant Chance Wilkerson (Hillary), grandparents; Rev. Joe and Patty Wilkerson, Billy Cooper, uncles; Dennis Cooper and Donnie Wilkerson.
