Jeff Aaron unexpectedly passed away on March 17, 2008 at his home. Jeff was an outstanding mathematics teacher, and devoted coach who positively influenced those around him, especially at Glenbrook South High School where he served for 31 years.

Jeff was a wonderfully warm and caring person, well loved by his peers and by his students. Always generous with his time, Jeff held review sessions on weekends and holidays before major exams for his students often at local coffee houses. He contributed to the school over the years as a coach, activities sponsor, member of the Student Assistance Core Team, representative on the Teacher’s Advisory Forum and was a staple at our basketball games as an announcer.

A student shared that "Mr. Aaron gained the respect that he did because of his work not only in the classroom, but in the hearts of each and every one of his students."

A parent shared her reflections, “Jeff ~ such a kind, selfless person who definitely put everyone before himself, loved his job as a teacher, enjoyed and respected all his students, and again, a very rare and remarkable person & excellent role model for us all.”

Glenbrook South High School will always treasure Jeff’s legacy of care and involvement. We were fortunate to have him in our lives. He will be sorely missed.
