In Loving Memory of Aaron Buchanan
Devoted Farmer, Family Man, and Friend
North Brookfield, New York
The community of North Brookfield, New York, is mourning the sudden and tragic loss of Aaron Buchanan, who passed away in April 2025 while tending to his beloved cows—a task that was both his livelihood and his passion. Aaron died doing what he loved most, surrounded by the animals and land that defined his life.​
A proud member of the Waterville Central School Class of 1994, Aaron was deeply rooted in his hometown, where he built a life of purpose, hard work, and quiet generosity. His days began before sunrise and ended long after sunset, yet he never complained. To Aaron, farming was more than a job—it was a calling. He found joy in the rhythm of the seasons, the care of his herd, and the satisfaction of honest labor. ​Hawaii Memorial
