I had the pleasure of taking professor Aaron’s Poli Sci class at LACC. He was one of the best and most impactful teachers I ever had. Truly passionate about his field of expertise and caring for his students. He inspired me to question the status quo and encouraged me to be a critical thinker. Thank you for all the lessons sir, and shall your memory live on.

Melvin was a dear and beloved friend. I called him several times over the past year… the phone rings and no response. Left several voice messages and sent emails. It was uncharacteristic for Mel not to respond. I called again yesterday and got the message that the phone had been disconnected/no longer working. Then I knew something must be terribly wrong. I googled, and Mel’s obituary popped up. I have not stopped crying.
Mel challenged my thinking as we engaged in intellectual banter and we exchanged resources and materials to be more critically informed on national and global responses to the human condition. He was widely read and always excited to discuss ideas. Mel also had a fun and playful side to him and was good spirited.

My sincere condolences to the family. Mel was a devoted father, an incredibly brilliant man, a gifted professor with a passion for teaching and changing lives. Knowing him on a personal level was a gift 
To the family, thank you for sharing him with the world.

I knew coach Mel thru baseball 14yr old Bluejays ! He was the most influential man I ever met in my life. He taught us baseball treated us like star athletes and pushed us further than we ve ever been pushed. These years were magical learning this great sport from someone so knowledgeable and passionate, taking the time to teach the next generation. He is loved and will be missed. And to the boys all the Bluejays I love and miss you all.

I honestly don't know where I would be in my life without Mr. Melvin Aaron. His influence was strong and everlasting. Always providing life lessons which have served me well to this day.

When I was 14 year old, I played baseball with "Coach Mel" as a member of the O.C. Blue Jays (the best AABC team of all-time!). We were a tough team to beat, notably because we were "BUFF"! I still recall the acronym "J.D.I." on our right sleeve which stood for "Just Do It!"

To this day, I have always referred to his advice which to-date, remains clear as day in my mind. He helped me harness my baseball skills and through him, I became a very solid baseball player. My playing days have long since ended, but now, I am the best in my field of work.

I would run into him from time to time until my last contact with him in 2007. I recall finding him in Linkedin.com and sent him a message. To my surprise, he replied which filled me with so much happiness.

Coach Mel, thank you for your influence and for making me the tough person that I am today.

I graduated from Cal State Fullerton in 2002 and have a great career. I have been married to my beautiful wife Patty since 2007 and have two beautiful daughters. I left the O.C. and now reside in beautiful Rancho Cucamonga, CA.

Today was a day I randomly thought of you, Coach. I Googled your name to find out you are now in God's kingdom. I aspire to see you someday up in heaven so we can go back to "cutting the ball" by keeping our "neck tight!".

My heartfelt condolences to you and your family, notably to Ging and Amilcar. I miss you boys and hope you are well!!!

You will forever be in my thoughts and prayers and Godspeed to you and your amazing soul! Please God may Mr. Melvin Aaron rest in peace!

I hope to see you in heaven when my time comes

Respectfully with nothing but love,
