Ari was such a kind young man. He was so nice and so funny, whenever somebody was down or needed someone he was there in a blink of a second. he was the person you could rely on to help you and talk to you. he was someone to make you happy when you were down. he was very outgoing and so smart.

Ari was in Cub Scouts when I was a Den leader, and he was always so pleasant, empathetic, kind, and respectful of others. He will be missed, and my heart and prayers pour out to his family. What he leaves behind is greater than those things etched in stone, but rather it is the impact he had on the hearts and minds of those who knew him and the ripple effect it will have for generations to come. Rest in peace.
