Aaron Michael Fritz

June 21, 2025

Aaron Michael Fritz passed away on June 21, 2025, while living in Florida. He was 22 years old, born on June 28, 2002.

Aaron was a kind, funny, and thoughtful person who had a natural ability to make people feel at ease. Talking to him felt like being heard without judgment. He had a quiet way of making anyone feel at home. He had a warm presence, a quick wit, and a sincere heart that left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him.

Aaron grew up in Indiana and attended North Putnam High School, where he made lifelong friends and memories. He later went on to study at Purdue University. Most recently, he was pursuing a new path to become an electrician, excited about learning a hands-on trade and building a future.

A few months ago, Aaron took a solo road trip out west, reconnecting with nature. This was something we all knew he loved deeply. He came back with stories and photos. Aaron was always curious, always open to trying something new, and happiest when surrounded by family or outdoors under a wide-open sky.

He is survived by his grandmother Irene Fritz, father Mike Fritz, stepmother Carol Crank-Fritz, and sisters Alyssa and Alaina Fritz. He is preceded in death by his mother Stacey Fritz, grandmother Edna Chestnut, and grandfathers William Fritz and Frank Chestnut. He leaves behind a family who loved him endlessly and who will miss him more than words can say.

Aaron's life ended too soon, and the heartbreak of his loss is immeasurable. But we will remember him for the warmth he gave so freely, the laughter he shared, and the love he carried with him.

An open memorial service will be held at Baldwin Brothers funeral home in Wildwood, Florida on Thursday July 3rd from 1-3pm. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida; in Aaron's memory.
