Aaron Moe
On Friday, February 19 Aaron Moe, Managing Editor of the Crow’s Nest and a graduate student in the Department of Journalism and Media Studies, died from pneumonia.
Born on February 16, 1986 in Buffalo NY, Aaron played basketball and football in high school and junior college. He graduated from SUNY Buffalo in 2009 with a degree in Communications. He began graduate studies at USF St. Petersburg in the fall of 2009. Aaron always had a positive attitude and a sweet spirit. On his Facebook page he wrote “God loves me, so it’s only right that I share some of that love with you!” He had a strong desire to be a great student and to become a great journalist. Dr. Antone Silvia, professor in Journalism and Media Studies said, “[Aaron] made us think, he made us care, but he also made us laugh.”
He is survived by his mother Karen Moe and two siblings, Ericka and Izaiah. He leaves behind a host of loving family, friends, professors and colleagues.

Aaron was a strong willed (in a good way), motivated, life-loving young man. He will be missed by our family.
The last time we saw him was in 2004-05, when we did a concert at the church his mother pastored.
By then, he was a little older than the “boy” I sometimes supervised at his school, and he impressed me with his maturity very much.
Please keep his family in prayer, and those that are closer to them (in location) than we are, please keep up with them. He has great parents and siblings.
To anyone reading this, pursue your dreams and ambitions with all you have in you, because we never know when this life will come to end for us. I have a respiratory disability that I have been battling for 12 years now, and I just came out of the hospital 4 days after my birthday which was Feb. 1, because my throat closed on me for the second time in 5 months. In mid January, I was suffering from pneumonia myself. Athsma and Bronchitis are also big battles for me.
However, I have recorded 8 vocal projects with a Trach Tube in use, even though I was never supposed to sing again.
So, if you have no motivation to go beyond the limits, achieve greatness, or just get better with each passing day, how about you step ya game up in MEMORY OF AARON MOE, and press, push, scratch, and fight until you become the greatest “YOU” possible, for Aaron.
“YOU CAN’T NEVER GIVE UP, YOU CAN’T GIVE IN, YOU CAN’T NEVER TURN BACK, BECAUSE QUITTERS NEVER WIN!”
