His commitment to community service was evident through his volunteering efforts, leaving a lasting impression on those around him.

Aedan was a beloved son to Delores Segura of Baton Rouge, LA; a dear godson to Angela Whittaker of Prairieville, LA; and cherished by his family in Kansas City. He also shared his home in Des Moines with his beloved cats, Sue, Ed and Nori, who brought him great joy and comfort. Aedan's warmth, generosity, and love for life touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by his family, friends, and colleagues.
