Aaron ”breakself” Anderson

[bassie]

It's hard to find words to do justice and I am trying not to cry at work.


Aaron and I exchanged emails, PMs, music and even a book or two over the years.


For no reason other than being a true lover of music and an incredibly kind and caring man, he sent me 45s that I just couldn't find in my neck of the woods.


It is hard to process the feeling of losing someone you've never met, but the loss goes much much farther than me.


Strength and comfort to all his friends and family.





My DJ night falls on November 5 - it goes without saying that it will be dedicated to him.

Terrible news. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for his family. RIP.

Damn, we were just talking about Aaron the other day...





so sad. no one has ever crossed his path without being a little more enlightened. he truly is one of the few people in this world that was inherently great, and you can hear echoed through everyone he met. rest in peace aaron...





and to dreas, nathan, and all aaron's family and friends... you are in my thoughts.

Jesus. I only met him once, but he was truly good people. This is a painful day for our community. But as for Aaron, I will only say that we don't know what happens after death. It may be good, bad, nothing, or just different. But there's no reason to believe that this transition has necessarily been a bad thing for him, or a painful thing. Aaron???I wish you nothing but the best.

While I can't say I had the pleasure of knowing this dude as well as many others on here, I came away from meeting and talking with him at a KUSF Rock n Swap with a new stack of incredible 45s, crazy new knowledge, and a sure sense that I had met a person who's love of and dedication to soul music was unlike any other I had ever met.





RIP -- My thoughts are with his family and friends





I will be celebrating his mixes for years to come.

RIP, tragic loss. My condolences to his family and friends.

Awful, awful news.





Aaron was the first dude here to send me a pm, about a 45 of course. He gladly gave me much needed


info on a record, and proceeded to broker the sale of it for me with some heavy hitters I never would


of been able to get with. Did it all for a not very rare LA 45 he didn't have, and even that I kinda had


to force on him. Truly just doing it for the love of the music.


We chopped it up over the phone a few times after that, and God did he know his 45s.


Great, kind, funny and as paycheck said, yoda like guy.





RIP

Rest in Peace. Tragic loss.





Just at a loss...

 

[motorcityfunk]

A true loss. One of the better folks out there.





You will be missed Junior, be at peace.

 

[JRoot]

Devastating loss for all those who loved the guy. 30 years is not nearly enough Aaron for this world.





RIP my friend.

 

[SlimHug]

Deep, deep gratitude for Aaron's presence in the world - a Gun Ru legend. Thanks to Dreas and Jonny as well for opening up this space - hope to make it to the memorial bash.

2004... we all converged in Detroit from NYC, Chicago, Grand Rapids, etc. We all came together back then united by Soul Strut and our love for digging. We then road tripped up to Kevin's lake house in Canada. I don't get to do things like this any more. They are good times that I deeply miss... Memories I will cherish forever.

rest in peace and condolences to the people here who knew aaron well.

Too sad to even bring to words, but I will cosine that I have never known a more genuine and selfless human being. It is beyond tragic that such a great life was cut so short. RIP my dear friend.
