AJ was a very heartwarming and loving person. His family was his everything. His laugh and craziness lit up the room. AJ loved his competitive sports. If you didn’t see him winning at bean bags or darts, he would challenge you to a game of bowling or pool. He loved his ice fishing weekend with his guys. AJ’s dance moves, especially to “Cotton Eye Joe,” were electrifying.
AJ had a great sense of humor. He loved to make people laugh.
