Aaron was born Jan. 31, 1937, in Hollywood, Calif., to Mary Fawn Wayment and Elmer Raymond Hunt. He attended elementary school in Satsup, Wash., before moving to Ogden, Utah, where he graduated from Ogden High School in 1955. Aaron served in the U.S. Army from 1961-1963. He was trained in Texas and stationed in Germany. Following an honorable discharge, he attended Pierce College in Northridge, Calif., to study accounting.

Shortly after their marriage, Aaron transferred to Mountain Bell in Ketchum, Idaho, and they moved their family of eight to Bellevue, Idaho. Aaron retired from US West after 35 years of service to the phone company.
Aaron was an avid supporter of American-made products. He enjoyed the outdoors, fly tying and fishing, hunting, biking, wandering new trails, having coffee with friends, and doing crossword puzzles in pen. He also loved tinkering with “vintage” cars.
