Aaron ”breakself” Anderson

Both sad & tragic. Anytime I hear news of young people getting cancer, it hits home. But the fact that we had mutual friends, he loved music, and also knowing that he stayed BEYOND POSITIVE AND BEYOND HAPPY ,while being aware of what was happening, really just makes this painful and totally unfair. No one deserves to go like that, and especially not like a guy him.
I would talk to friends about him, asking how he was and whatnot, and they all said the same thing "Dude is so nice/upbeat/never complains" and I would always get a tug of guilt knowing I would be upset at the most trivial things. I will always admire him for that, he had strength and joy in times where it's okay and normal to be weak and sad.
Strength to all his friends and family.

I haven't been on Soulstrut in a while but I just heard the news and I had to come on here and express my deepest condolences to the Soulstrut community and all of his many friends and the people who loved him. I never met Aaron in person but we exchanged a few records and PMs about Buddhist art and he pointed me (like many others) in the direction of some life-changing records. He was just a genuinely nice person.
I don't have much more to add than any of the previous posts but I know his loss is deeply felt here and around the world.

I never met him personally, but his generosity and love for music always came through in his posts.

I never had the good fortune of meeting Aaron, but always appreciated his contributions. I admired that he shared knowledge out of a sincere love of music and generosity of spirit rather than the typical collectro posturing. My condolences to his family.

Unfortunately, I never had the pleasure of meeting Aaron, but his Soul Strut handle and avatar remain familiar from the early days. One of my best friend's sisters died from brain cancer last year, also aged 30. It's gut-wrenching. My condolences to his friends and family. RIP.
I feel lucky to have met him. This news makes me very sad. He was a true gentleman with incredible taste. Peace and blessings to his loved ones.
I'll need to read this thread when I'm home from work, but until then I'll cross post the pics I put up at waxidermy.
