Aaron David Kaufman
Unexpectedly on Monday, December 13, 2021, at the age of thirty-five. Aaron is survived by his devoted and beloved parents Zave Kaufman and Lynda Hoffman, his non-binary sibling, Vania Kaufman and their wife Myriam Cossette. Cherished grandson of Sandra Dall of Nanaimo, B.C.; and the late Calvin Hoffman, the late Ben and the late Hazel Kaufman. Aaron has many aunts, uncles, and cousins who will all miss him deeply.
In his short life, Aaron embodied integrity, honesty and above all, kindness. He took after his two grandfathers, both of whom shared these traits and who adored Aaron deeply.
He was a mensch. A young man much loved by everyone who knew him. He was the kind of person you noticed in a crowd because he was the first to give his seat up on the bus. He looked after the elderly whenever there was an opportunity to do so. He was methodical and careful, even when he was packing groceries at the IGA where he worked. He knew those groceries mattered to the people who had bought them.
Aaron was such a hard worker. He was always trying to please and he gave the very best of himself – unconditionally.
Aaron was a graduate of Westmount High School. While there, he developed a lasting bond with a group of friends who remain close to this day. Every week, they would get together to just hang out and play games. They saw Aaron for the wonderful human being he was, and he valued them in return.
Losing Aaron is a devastating loss for his immediate family and friends. He will remain in the hearts of all those who knew and loved him.
The family wishes to thank Dr. Bernard Brais of the Montreal Neurological Institute and Dr. Lisa Reisinger of the Spectrum Clinic in Montreal. Both professionals went the extra mile and did so with great kindness.
A private service will take place. Shiva private. Contributions in Aaron’s memory may be made to Rare Neurological Diseases Research Group c/o Dr. Bernard Brais at the Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital, (514) 398-1958, www.alumni.mcgill.ca/give/index.php?new=1&formtype=MNI
