Aaron was an extraordinary human being who faced the excruciating challenge of living with alcoholism. On February 11th, 2023 our lives changed forever. Losing our Aaron has been a tragedy no family should ever endure. We wanted to honour Aaron’s memory in a positive way that would support others in our community dealing with addiction and mental health concerns. Our family’s commitment to JACS ensures the ongoing support and recovery for individuals struggling with addiction. The Aaron Katz Adult Outreach Program creates a space for meaningful conversations around mental health, ensuring that no one has to struggle alone.
