Aaron Robert Rawson

November 22, 1978 - October 4, 2021

November 22, 1978 – October 4, 2021

It is with extremely heavy hearts we announce the passing of Aaron Rawson, cherished husband to Amanda Rawson and much loved father of Summer, Olivia and Scarlett, who he adored.

Aaron was loved by his father, Mathew (Sharon) Rawson and his mother, Marilyn (Bill) Rawson, sister, Sandra (Ryan) Rawson-Miller. Pre-deceased by grandparents, Robert and Betty Ellis and Leo and Mary Wyse. Loved by his step-siblings, Brett (Misty) Rawson, Jen (Scott) Gillies, and uncle to Austin, Alex, Ashleigh, Carleigh, and Brooklyn.

Son-in-law (but more like a son) to Bill and Gloria Dawson, brother-in-law of Shannon (Jay) March, Hilliary (Ben) Felsman, Josh (Karen) Dawson, and loved uncle (who the kids thought he was just one of them) of Jacob, Nathan, Isaac, Meghan, Spencer, Abigail, Nycholas and Lucas. He held a special place in Grandma Cudmore’s heart. There is no one that Aaron wouldn’t help if they needed him and always with a smile. Aaron will be missed by his baseball and hockey friends.  He cheered faithfully for the Detroit Lions and the Calgary Flames.

Visitation will be held at Gateway Community Church, 890 Sarnia Road, London on Thursday, October 7, 2021 from 12:00-1:00 p.m. A funeral service will be conducted at Gateway Church on Thursday, October 7, 2021 at 2:00 p.m., with visitation one-hour prior for those who would like to attend the service. A livestream of the funeral service will be available for those wishing to participate remotely.
