| ROBINSON, Aaron Michael Charles April 5, 1988 - August 23, 2007 "I'm going to capture the light and keep it in my heart" Aaron's name means "one of light" - and that was Aaron. When he walked into a room, the light went on for everyone there. That light dimmed when Aaron drowned on August 23, 2007. His remaining light will be in all of our hearts forever sharing his thoughts. Aaron was raised in Molalla, he attended Country Christian School and graduated from Oregon City High School in 2006. He played football, baseball and basketball and gave 110% every second he was on the field or court. He was so full of life. He was adventurous and pushed everything to the limit to get the most out of all that he did. His family was the center of his life. Even as he started out on his own path, he stayed connected to his large extended family. He was a hero to the many children whose lives he touched. Aaron was a charmer and no one was a stranger to him. When you met him he became your friend. There was never a dull moment when he was around and he had a joke for every occasion. Aaron left a lasting impression on everyone's life, whether they just met him or had known him for years. His positive outlook on life was contagious, making everyone around him smile. Aaron had a deep seated sprituality about him. He started each day saying "it's all good" and he went to bed each night still saying "it's all good". Aaron is survived by his mother Rhonda Alexander and stepfather David Alexander; his father Chuck Robinson and stepmother Diane Howell; his brothers Charlie Robinson, Dave Alexander, Nathanial Alexander and sisters Annalisa Robinson, Natasha Alexander, Britteny Alexander and stepsister Jacqueline Chandler. In addition, Aaron leaves behind many loving grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. He will be missed. A memorial service will be held on Thursday, August 30th at 2:00 p.m. at Country Christian Church, 16975 S. Hwy 211, Molalla, OR 97038 with a reception following. Arrangements by Holman, Hankins, Bowker & Waud, Oregon City. Viewing is available Wednesday 8/29 from 12:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. and on Thursday 8/30 from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that remembrances be made in Aaron's name to the Country Christian School Athletic Fund at the address listed above.
