Aaron White Foster

Aaron White Foster, 35 years young, passed away unexpectedly on the evening of Sept. 11th, 2021. He was born on January 10th, 1986 in Middletown, CT to Mark Mitchel Foster and Wendy Berggren Foster. He grew up in Ivoryton, CT and graduated from Valley Regional High School in 2004. He also attended 3 years of Franklin Pierce College in New Hampshire where he studied History and Philosophy. He spent years working outdoors, working in boat yards, doing asphalt work and landscaping. Aaron was truly one of a kind. He was a kindred spirit and loved spending time outdoors, reading, writing, and listening to music. He loved everything from jazz to the Grateful Dead and the finest underground hip-hop. He was affectionately known as Bird and Fritz to those around him.

He is survived by the love of his life, Jessi Marie Foster (Marshall), of Meriden, CT. She and him were inseparable and did everything together. They were truly soulmates through and through. She and Aaron share a son whom he leaves behind, Ezekiel Mark Foster, of Meriden, CT and a stepdaughter, Jaymisyn Marie Colon, of Bristol, CT. He is survived by his loving parents, Mark Mitchel Foster (and his partner Donna L. Smith) of Deep River, Wendy Berggren Foster of Wallingford, his adoring sisters Emily C. Foster of St. Louis, MO and Bethany A. Foster of Bristol, CT and her daughters (his nieces) Madaline Lorraine Russo and Cali Rose Patricia Turner. He also leaves behind many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends who will miss him very much.

He was predeceased by his paternal grandparents, Patricia M. Foster and Edward White Foster Jr. He is also predeceased by his maternal grandparents, J. Philip Berggren and Lorraine G. Berggren.

Despite the circumstances of his passing, Aaron had been doing great and had overcome so much in the past few months. He will be missed tremendously, leaving a huge hole in the hearts of those who loved him.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to his son Ezekiel.
