Aidan was my only son, my baby. When I was pregnant with him in 1998, I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. I always refer to him as my angel,because he saved my life.
He grew up with two older sisters, Leilani Maria Nicole and Skylar Keokiana Catharina.
He moved to Hawai'i in 2008 with his dad and sisters. In 2011 he moved back to Myrtle Beach SC with his dad.
He went to Socastee high school from 2013-2016, where he ran cross country and track. He set personal records and school records that have yet to be surpassed. He was known by his friends as Keahi. His nicknames were Running Hawaiian and Pineapple.
He was also a surfer and when he went out to surf on 12/26/2016, he never came home. Aidan drowned on the morning of December 26 2016.
