Aron had been working with a counsellor in Regina trying to straighten out his life before his death, said his father Allan Lunan.
Described as a devoted musician and outdoorsman, Aron was known for his love of playing guitar, drums and singing, said Allan. He also shared a passion for dirt biking with his father and brother. Allan fondly recalled his son’s unwavering support, particularly during his own battle with COVID-19 in 2021.
