THE JUNEAU EMPIRE

Kake resident Aaron Wayne "Shooka" Williams, 20, died Jan. 26, 2001, in a car accident in Astoria, Ore.

He was born Nov. 28, 1980, in Portland, Ore., and moved to Kake in 1994. He loved the outdoors and enjoyed camping, boating, fishing and hanging out with his friends in Kake. His family wrote that he never met a person he couldn't call a friend and he loved his extended families in Kake.

He was working in Oregon with his stepfather as a foreman at Clow Roofing and was preparing to return home to Kake this month.

He is survived by his mother Karen Taylor and her fiancé Tom Gladdis, and his sister Amanda Taylor, all of Kake, his stepfather Kenneth Taylor, his grandparents Lois and Lassie Williams of Washington and several cousins, aunts and uncles.

Donations may be made to a memorial fund at the Mendenhall Valley Branch of First Bank in Aaron Williams' memory.

A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday in Kake at the Kake Community Hall.
