Aaron Donaldson

Aaron Donaldson, born February 27, 1974, passed away on July 24, 2025, at the age of 51. A proud U.S. Marine, Aaron served his country with honor and carried that same spirit of loyalty and dedication throughout his life.

Aaron was a man who deeply loved the outdoors—whether he was hunting, fishing, camping, or soaking up the sun at the beach. He had a special talent for making everyone feel welcome and at ease, and he especially cherished time spent with family and friends, whether gathered around a campfire or simply sharing stories by the shore.

He found purpose and fulfillment in his work at Leidos, where he was known for his strong work ethic and the deep bonds he shared with his colleagues. His kindness and sense of humor left a lasting impression on everyone who had the privilege to know him.

Aaron was preceded in death by his beloved sister Amy and parents Jane and Dennis Donaldson.

He leaves behind his greatest joy, his beautiful and loving daughter, Hailey Donaldson (Taylor Future Son-in-Love); his twin brother, Adam Donaldson; his sister, Abby Donaldson Aguirre and Brother-in-Love, Abraham M. Aguirre Jr.; nephew, Sam Donaldson; and Uncle Joe and Aunt Bonnie Donaldson. He will also be missed by his loyal dogs, Willard and Duke, who were never far from his side.

Aaron’s legacy of love, laughter, and loyalty will live on in the hearts of those who knew him. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
