He was a member of Faith Deliverance Christian Center, he served on the youth and male usher board and participated on the church’s basketball team. His favorite scripture was Revelations 5:13; And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying, “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!”

Aaron was a fun-loving person who loved life and enjoyed spending time with his family and friends playing video games, cracking jokes and last but not least dancing. Aaron LOVED to dance! He was also an avid Baltimore Ravens fan. Those left to cherish his precious memories include his three children Cherish A. Forbes (4), Royalty A. Forbes (3) and Kairo Z. Forbes (1). His mother Lorinda Doxie-Forbes, his brother Barry R. Forbes Jr, his maternal grandmother Lydia Doxie and a host of family and friends.
