Aaron Bullock, a true hero, loving husband, cherished friend, and esteemed colleague left us on February 29th, 2024, at 4:20 PM, surrounded by his beloved family and friends. We find solace in knowing that he departed at a time that reflects his unique sense of humor – “That’s so Aaron!”
Aaron’s life was marked by remarkable service and dedication. A Gulf War veteran, he served his country with honor as a specialist in nuclear, biological, and chemical warfare. His commitment to ensuring the safety of others extended to his work as a security detail for the Ritz-Carlton St. Louis, where he safeguarded presidents, vice presidents, and dignitaries. Aaron again served his country after 9/11 by joining the Department of Homeland Security as a TSO & BDO.
In addition to his illustrious career, Aaron was a devoted husband of 34 years to his partner in life, Mark O’Donnell. Together, they formed the heart of APB Entertainment, spreading joy and creating unforgettable memories. Aaron’s passion for community extended to his role as Vice President of RGA – Revenue Generating Activities Network 14 years, where he spearheaded initiatives to empower small businesses. He was also the original host of RGA’s first small business podcast, leaving an indelible mark on the industry.
Throughout his journey, Aaron was supported by an incredible network of family and friends. We extend our deepest gratitude to Mary Frances Grimmel Bullock & Charles Bullock, Rodney Bullock, Missy H. Hahn, Rykma Chantal Baldowski, Zowie Nicole, and countless others from both near and far who provided unwavering love, support, and prayers during his 3.5-year cancer battle.
In honor of Aaron’s legacy, arrangements are being made for him to be inurned in Arlington National Cemetery, a fitting tribute to his service to our nation. A local memorial service will also be held to celebrate his life and legacy. Further details will follow soon.
The family has asked for privacy at this time. In lieu of flowers PLEASE make a donation to Women With Purpose https://www.facebook.com/WWPFL who help with non-medical care for those with cancer. Donate money on Venmo or a Gas/Food card.
Aaron Paul Bullock’s impact on our lives is immeasurable, and his memory will forever live on in our hearts. May he rest in peace, knowing he was loved deeply and will be profoundly missed.
With love and gratitude.
