From Pastor Cheryl Haskins

Very sad and tragic news. My wonderful husband of 29 years, Aaron Haskins, passed away unexpectedly in his sleep this morning at about 4am.

He was a wonderful and loving husband, an amazing father of three, and grandfather of four.

A fabulous Pastor, a faithful brother to eight siblings, loving son, a mean saxophone player.

He was an inspiration to so many people around the world.

In many ways he was larger than life and leaves a truly great legacy for others to follow.

We have created an online memorial to keep everyone abreast of coming details regarding his viewing and memorial service.
