Aaron Paul Quade, 76

Aaron Paul Quade, 76, of Kalispell, passed away surrounded by his family on April 21, 2017, at Kalispell Regional Medical Center.

Aaron was everyone’s friend. He never judged anyone. He accepted people for who they were. He always looked for the good in everyone.

A grandfather to nine and a great-grandfather to eight, he was the rock of the family, which he dearly loved. Aaron was a gentle giant. Aaron enjoyed his Harley-Davidson and God’s gift of the “Great Outdoor.” His talents were many. He used to say, “If it was made by man, it could be fixed.” He could repair anything motorized; build guns, knives and many other things. A mountain man at heart, one of his greatest joys was to shoot the flint-lock rifles he built and to sleep under the stars. He was born a hundred years too late. After the Lord, his family always came first, his friends second and himself last.

“Yuh dun good! We’re right proud!”

A celebration of Aaron’s life will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday April 29, at the Canvas Church Activity Center Coffee Shop, 255 Summit Ridge Drive, Kalispell. A meal will be served and memories shared. Our family would like to have you come in your blue jeans, cowboy boots and leathers in honor of Aaron.

Darlington Cremation and Burial Service is caring for Aaron’s family.
