Aron Paul Andersen passed away on April 18, 2025, in Hamilton, Montana. He was 81 years old.
Born on March 30, 1944, in Glendale, California, raised in Pasadena, Aron lived a full and meaningful life. A smart and dedicated businessman, Aron owned and operated a successful trash company for many years, earning the respect and friendship of many along the way. He was an easy going man with a quick smile, he could be downright silly with a couple glasses of his favorite cab in him.
In 2023, Aron and his beloved wife of 52 years, Cheryl, made their home in Hamilton after many happy decades in San Gabriel, California. Together, they built a life centered around family, hard work, and service to others.
Aron was a devoted son, husband, father, grandfather, and friend. He is survived by his wife, Cheryl; his son, Kyle, and daughter-in-law, Jenifer; his daughter, Noel, and son-in-law, Buckley; and his treasured grandsons, Craig, Nick, and George. His grand niece, Kylie, also held a very special place in his heart.
A Navy veteran and proud member of the Elks, Aron dedicated 58 years to the organization, serving in leadership roles at the local, state, and national levels. His commitment to community and friendship left a lasting mark on all who knew him.
He is already deeply missed.
