Aaron Kelly Welch

Through it all, Aaron continued to dream of returning to his favorite place, Gatlinburg, Tennessee, his times spent with family and his dog Bacon.

He was adventurous, bungee jumping in Orlando and riding the newest, highest rollercoaster while on vacation with his grandparents who raised him or touring the Gatlinburg area by helicopter with his Aunt Dawn.

When not working one of two jobs at local restaurants, Aaron was always planning his next trip with his friend Andrew.

He loved collectibles, including troll figurines from Gatlinburg and Christmas nutcrackers he called “woodpeckers.”

Aaron spent many days watching football, laughing and reliving the “brotherly” times he had growing up with his Uncle Jimmy.

He will be greatly missed.

Aaron was preceded in death by his mother Darlene Welch. He is survived by his grandparents, Jay and Phyllis Welch, Uncle James (Sherri) and Aunt Dawn (Bob) Tyll.

Visitation will be held at A.H. Peters Funeral Home, located at 32000 Schoenherr Road, in Warren, Michigan 48088, on December 26, 2025, from 2:00 pm to 8:00 pm.

His funeral service will be at A.H. Peters Funeral Home on December 27, 2025 at 12:00 pm.
