We are asking not to send flowers. In lieu of flowers the family suggest a donation may be made out to his Fraternity Phi Gamma DELTA and mailed to

Life must move forward in times such as this!
Especially during the loss of a son we dearly loved.
My son Aaron Bradley Caldwell will be missed by many of his friends and family. With the disability of a seizure disorder he could not drive a car until he was 6 months free of seizures. His car was parked in a garage waiting for the release the week after he died.
At the age of 22 and in perfect health he died of a heart attack in his sleep.
He was a Pole vaulter for a couple of years but found his best talents in Debate and in Wrestling at L.D. Bell High School in Hurst TX..
Many of you have sent generous donations to us for his Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity in lieu of flowers. I know he always felt flowers would die and a donation would help memories live on. He was about to graduate in May from Kansas Univ. where Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity has dedicated a lounge to Aaron with the proceeds of your donations.
I want to take this time to thank every one who sent their emails, cards, phone calls, and condolences, and especially UCS/spirit and On-track competitors and customers of mine for taking the time to remember my son regardless of our competitive natural in the business World. It was so nice to see such compassion on their part at a time when my family was in need.
In memory of my son Aaron Bradley Caldwell I am going to build a Track and Field NEXUS* for the Track and Field Community . This is not a PV forum board as Pole Vault Power.com is the very best forum board.
We will launch the board in memory of my son Aaron Bradley Caldwell in December free to the Track and Field Community.

Thank you All
Bruce & Bonnie Caldwell

*WEBSTERS DICTIONARY defines NEXUS as a group or link working together for a focus or purpose
