Aaron Borcherdt
Aaron was a bright young man who was just getting started in life. He challenged conventional wisdom and gave people the benefit of the doubt. He had a healthy sense of what is important in life and enjoyed doing random thoughtful things for those he cared about. He had great ideas for a better world vision and everyone who knew him learned so much from him. As he stated in his June 27th, 2014 Post Crescent ‘Letter to the Editor’, “Marijuana is Medicine – medicine that could benefit anyone and everyone in one way or another. Cannabis is one of the cure-all’s of medicine. It is time to legalize NOW! No, correction – it was time to legalize ages ago.”
