Aaron was born March 3, 1981 in Stanley, WI, the son of Jeffrey and Darlene (Jamiola) Bourget.  He grew up in the rural Stanley area and attended Stanley-Boyd Schools, graduating in 1999 and then obtained a degree in electric power distribution from CVTC.  He later earned his journeyman/lineman certification through an apprenticeship with Missouri Valley.  Aaron was officially a Bare Handed Certified Journeyman lineman "slash" farmer.  He was a foreman for the M. J. Electrical Co. On August 9, 2008, he was united in marriage to Kathryn Laschenski.

Aaron was a loving and proud husband and father. Together the couple was living "their dream" by having their farm and a happy home with their children.  They were faithful parishioners attending weekly Mass at Holy Family.  Aaron loved the outdoors and his horses and enjoyed taking friends and family on wagon rides. Aaron had a spirit that was infectious, and he had a heart of gold.  There was never a dull moment with Aaron in the room.

Aaron is survived by his wife, Kate, of rural Boyd, WI and daughter, Olivia (16 months old) and an unborn child; parents, Jeffrey & Darlene Bourget of Stanley, WI; older brother, Jason (Liza) Bourget of Neillsville, WI; and younger sister, Cassandra Bourget of Stanley, WI; 17 aunts and uncles; and god child, Adeline Peterson plus numerous other relatives and friends.
