James David Aronen, born Dec. 23, 1941, died April 26, 2012, after a valiant fight against mesothelioma. Jim was an extraordinary individual: kind, gentle, sensitive, intelligent, a person of great faith and capacity to love, a true Finnish Renaissance man.
Jim is survived by his wife, Mary McClellan Aronen; sister Sharon (Gary) Rantala; his four children, Jason (Jana Sackmeister) Aronen, Teresa (Jason) Schorn, Lisa (Greg) Wright and Chris Aronen; along with his four grandchildren, Larisa, Savoy and Maxwell Schorn and Sadie Wright. He loved us all so very much, as we did him.
Jim was preceded in death by his parents, Laura T. and Lawrence M. Aronen and infant granddaughter, Elise Schorn.
