Aaron Patrick Moore was 24 and from Austin, Texas when he died on December 12, 2016. He had been celebrating his 24th birthday and was one semester shy of graduating from Texas State University. Aaron had recently moved into his first apartment, adopted his first dog, and written a strategic plan to expand the family business — plans that suggested he intended to join his father in running that business.

The death was ruled an accidental gunshot wound; there are no arrests, suspects, or criminal investigations connected to the incident. Aaron loved sports and the outdoors, enjoyed hunting and fishing with family and friends, and had considered military or firefighting careers before deciding to work with his father. He was remembered by family and friends as mature, compassionate, and selfless, a protective older brother who was close to his Pawpaw.
