This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Aaron Sewell, 76, born on June 23, 1938.  He passed away peacefully at home on April 23, 2015. We will remember him forever.

He leaves his loving wife of 56 years, Diana (Peeler) Sewell; Daughter Yolanda Sewell; Son Eric Sewell; Sister Lillie Douglass, Grandkids Evan and Aaron Sewell, many nieces and nephews and many close friends behind.

He was born in Chattanooga, TN to the parents of Ray and Grace Mae (Owens) Sewell. He graduated from Chickamauga High School in 1956 as a star athlete. He attended college in Chattanooga when he soon married Diana Peeler. After the birth of their son they decided FL was a better home and made it their permanent residence.  He continued his love of sports and was active in a business men's bowling league for over two decades and a mixed league with his wife as well, he was a coach and the president of the Pinellas County Junior Bowling league, and also coached his daughter's softball team for many years.

Moving to Pinellas County, he found his profession as a master electrician eventually owning his own commercial electrical company; Interstate Electric of Florida, Inc. He was a proud member of IBEW for 53 years. With the ability to fix or build anything, he would always use those talents to help others.  After retiring, he, his wife Diana, and their pug PJ hit the road in their new RV to explore the country together until illness brought them back home to Florida a few years later.

He was a member of Harbor Side Christian Church for many years before his illness prevented him from attending. They eventually moved to Sun City Center to enjoy life in a retirement community.

When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. We shall have a treasure chest of his memories to carry with us forever; therefore his spirit and love will forever be with us.

Dad,
You know I've already told you happy birthday this morning. For the past week you have had my big girl Kenzi. Please take care of her, she's not really a kisser type dog but she will tell you in other ways that she loves you (like leaning on you, sitting on you, and just being a 125lb sweetheart). So today I give you my big girl to keep you company until I see both of you again
Love ,
Yolanda

It has now been 8 yrs. It doesn't seem real. I continue to talk to you as if you were here hoping you can sometimes help me out down here on Earth. If there's really a heaven I know I'll see you again and in the mean time please take care of my kids . Take care of all my kids (especially Caley) because she's still my love. I know she can be a handful but I also know that you have help from Granny, which you'll need... See you soon, but I wish you could some how let me know if you even hear me.
I love you and always will. My one and only dad.

Love now and always,
Yolanda

Dad,
I continue to miss you every day, most days are better than others now, but on this day I still wake up crying and have periods throughout the day where I cry because I miss you so much. 
Everyone who knew you knew what an honest, giving and caring man you were and you were the same kind of dad.
Thank you for that!
I will always love you and miss you until the day I see you again.

I will never forget how my dad used to stay up all night putting all the Xmas presents together (like the bikes) that santa was going to leave on Xmas morning. One year I tried to sleep under the tree to catch santa and him and my mom still managed to get everything under the tree without waking me! Dad, I will always remember you not only each and every day but each and every holiday you will hold a special place next to me and be especially close in my heart, and I know you will be looking out for both me and mom. I continue to miss you and expect to have you here for the holidays with us and wish you were... it doesn't seem right you aren't physically here but I know you are in my heart.
I love and continue to miss you, your daughter

Happy Thanksgiving dad. I so wish you could be with us this year. I know you would have the right words to find to make everyone understand the importance of it all. I tried but couldn't, and I can still hear you telling me that I can talk till I'm blue in the face but.....we know the rest.
Please look over everyone that insists on getting together and keep them safe, especially mom, she's all I have left and no one seems to get it. They say they do but if they really did, if they saw it firsthand, they would wait just a little longer or make other plans. I know you're her guardian angel and we both need that right now.
Take care of Parker for me and I love you.

Happy Birthday Dad! I can't believe this would have been your 82nd birthday. Anyone who knew my dad, really knew him, would only remember him now as a strong healthy man. Every time I care for someone at work, or see someone that would be near your age dad, I imagine how vibrant you would have been if life had only been more fair. I can imagine you at 82, with mom, still traveling the country in an RV, you anxious to find the next stop to see what's on TV, and her anxious to see what wonders (or stores) are around the next corner. (By the way, I know you already are aware but she's still finding new ones to shop at...lol)
I will always remember your birthday for the rest of my life dad. I will also always remember your pain and I am glad you no longer have to suffer that; but I will also always remember you as that vibrant, strong, family dedicated man that I will always love and that I will always have the honor of calling my dad. That is my birthday present to you today and everyday. I love you!

Happy Fathers Day dad. I thought of you from the moment I woke and all day long today. I was so glad I worked in order to keep my mind busy as I still miss you a little more on these special days. As each year passes, my memories never get further away, but I realize more and more that you will never again be here to try and find that special gift for; which of course would probably have been a tool of some kind. I just want everyone to know what a special man and father you are and will always be in my heart.... you will never be forgotten.
Love, Yolanda

You're not forgotten, Father,
Nor ever shall you be
As long as life and memory last,
We will remember thee.
No one knows the silent heartaches,
Only those who have lost can tell
Of the grief that's borne in silence
For the one we loved so well.

Some days it seems like I lost you forever ago and others it seems like yesterday. Today it doesn't seem like it's been five years because it feels like I haven't been able to talk to you or hug you in a million years. I miss you as always and always will. You were and will always be the best dad ever and I could certainly use you to talk to right now and have you answer me back!
I love you and will always have you in my heart.......

Dad,
One more Christmas without you, as all the ones in my future will be. Everyone is a bit more empty without you.... even shopping sometimes for x-mas presents is, as I think of things I would like to get for you (mostly tools of course). I always expect to see you walk in the door, but you don't. It's still hard to believe you're gone sometimes but you'll always be in my heart. 
Merry Christmas Dad.

Happy Birthday Dad! I love you and have thought about and missed you all day, like I do every day. However, today is a special day as it is the day God gave us you and the greatest dad I could have asked for.
Love you

Happy Father's Day Dad! You'd probably have gotten tools....they were your favorite thing to own after all. Besides, no one else could do any better work with their hands, or tools in them, than you! So many times I have projects and still wish I could call to ask you to do it or at least walk me through it. I try to think of what you might tell me and how you taught me, which was a lot!
Love and miss you always.

Dad, today might be four years since you passed, but it still seems like yesterday. Everyday I miss you, and every day I'll continue to miss you, just like everyday I'll continue to love you. I wish so much I could have been there with you the day you passed. I'll never forgive myself for that. All my love for always. You were the best dad any one could have asked for growing up.

Dad,
Each year is the same...I miss you just as much and still expect to spend Christmas with my mom AND dad. The whole time I was making candy this year I kept thinking how much you'd enjoy it. You will always be in my thoughts, NEVER to be replaced or forgotten. I love you.

Dad, I can't believe it has been three years since we lost you yet it seems like a lifetime since I've been able to hold you or talk to you. Today is so tough.... I know writing this is only for my benefit as I talk to you everyday. My life will never be the same but I was so lucky to have a dad like you! No one could have had a more loving and caring dad. You would have done anything for your family, and you did sacrifice so much for us so we could have everything we needed and wanted. I hope you know I appreciated it; that is only a part of what made you a such a special dad, person and man. I will always love and miss you every day for the rest of my days.
Love, your daughter.

Another year has passed. The memory of my brother is fading a bit but there are some special times that I remember. We had a renewal of friendship on our trip into Alaska which was very special for me. I knew at the time that his health was failing so I wanted the time we had to be special for both of us and it was. I look forward to seeing him again someday along with my own sweet husband in heaven.

I just want to wish a Merry Christmas to my dad and he knows how much I miss him every day. The holidays are always hard not having him or the others that have left before him here with us...may all who read this remember them in their thoughts and prayers. The memories keep them with us as does the love they had for all of us and the belief they continue to look over us each and every day. I love you with all my heart dad.

Never sure how to address this. Dad will never read this but hopefully people he has touched will. We all want to leave behind some positive impact on the world.  That is not in material possessions but in the lives that we shape and help during our lives.  My Dad definitely shaped and helped so many people and each of those people will be what keeps his spirit alive. So this testament is not for him but for the people who have been touched by him.  As you move on in your lives, use at least some part of today to remember how he changed your life and hold onto that for a while.  Life definitely moves on so we each can create even more memories with others but it is also good to mingle the new memories with some older ones too.  Peace to all.

Dad,
I was thinking of you from the moment I woke to the moment I went to sleep yesterday....just as I do every other day. Yesterday was only the day that signified the two year mark of you leaving this life; but NEVER my heart as my dad. I love you and you will never be replaced.

My Dear Brother is in heaven with Jesus Christ. It is really hard for me to believe that you have been gone from this earth for 2 years today. I know that you are finally healthy and enjoying your time with our Savior. Rest easy and know that we will all be together again in that Mansion in the sky one day. Love to you from your big sister.

Dad,
I miss you everyday but you are always with me from the moment I wake up. I know you heard my happy birthday to you this morning; every time I asked what you wanted for your birthday or Father's Day you always said nothing. Well this birthday all you're getting is my love and I know that you know that.  I also know that you want all of us to continue on and be happy and live our lives to the fullest. But either way we miss you everyday and think of you everyday and I still play the message on my phone to hear your voice. I love you!

We always talk about how hard it can be to remember things - where you left their keys, or the name of an acquaintance. BUT then some memories will never pass. Death is just a passing away of a body but not the soul and of the memories. God keeps his soul, we keep his memories.
April 23, 2016
April 23, 2016
Even though you have been gone a year, we miss you still. I know that you are in God's hands and no longer suffer to breath because God has given you new lungs and they are filled with His love. We will hold your memory close to us forever.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal; love leaves a memory no one can steal. Saying goodbye to you was one of the most difficult tasks that I have faced. The memories of times we spent together is a blessing for me to know that we shared as a brother/sister a love for each other. We will meet again in eternity. I love you dear brother.

I walked into Jimmy Sampleys  Record and photo shop and there you were.I tried so hard to make an impression but at 15 I did not make one. You were nice but certainly not interested. After all you were 18.  I knew and heard of you because even though  you did not attend my school , all the girls at my school had a crush on you. The next time our paths crossed it was when you and Ed Howard and Don Howard was cruising Drive-ins. Three of my friends and my self got in the car with you guys. You were in the back seat with two of my friends, I was so envious , I wanted to be with you. You paid no attention to me.  You admitted you did not remember me from either encounter. You were a real Hunk, Nice and Funny. Our mutual friend Joyce Tanner talked you into a blind date. You tried to back out but since Ed your buddy and Joyce was dating you agreed. We were married 6 weeks later. I was 17 you turned 20 on June 23 and we were married July 5, 1958. I teased you we were married in another Life.You a Cancer and me a Pisces, can not get a better match. The moral of this story, if you want something go after it. That was the start of a Life time adventure.Baby no Regrets.  Your Wife  Diana
