Aaron Merrill Galbraith December 12, 1969 ~ July 16, 2024

While it is difficult to say goodbye, that time has come for Aaron Merrill Galbraith, beloved firstborn of four children to William Franklin Galbraith and Barbara Jean Merrill.
Born December 12, 1969 in Murray, UT, he left his mortal body on July 16, 2024 at his home in Henderson, NV.
At the time of his birth, his home was Salt Lake City, UT. In 1973, he moved with his family to San Pedro, CA. In 1979, the family moved to Beavercreek, OH where Aaron attended Valley Elementary School, Ankeney Jr. High School, and Beavercreek High School, graduating in 1988.
In 1993, Aaron graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor Degree from Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, OH. He later attended the University of Utah, studying Public Administration and Finance from M.I.T.
He worked for many years in finance and real estate development where he found much meaning and fulfillment in his work as well as long-lasting friendships with work associates.
In his youth, Aaron enjoyed camping under the stars and flying in sailplanes with his father. Later in his life he shared hobbies in radio communications and many outdoor activities in nature with his family.
He loved family, friends, the United States of America, liberty, nature, and college football. He was active in public service including emergency communications as well as search and rescue in the Las Vegas, NV area.
Aaron’s kind and loving way will be missed by his parents Bill Galbraith and Barbara Jean (Don) Cruikshank, sister Anne M. (Gavin) Hutchinson, brothers David M. Galbraith and Edward M. (Barbara) Galbraith, and many other family members and friends around our beautiful world.
He loved life, his country and serving others. His passing leaves a deep void for those who knew him, and whom he loved.
Aaron’s funeral was July 26, 2024 in Henderson, NV. His body is interred at the Blanding City Cemetery.
