Durant la courte vie de Aaron Williams, deux traits de caract\u00e8re ressortent : sa grande joie de vivre et son amour pour les activit\u00e9s de plein air. Ces qualit\u00e9s propres \u00e0 sa personnalit\u00e9 \u00e9taient \u00e0 la base de sa d\u00e9votion et de son adoration pour sa fille, maintenant \u00e2g\u00e9e de 10 ans. De plus, il adorait la vie militaire. C\u2019\u00e9tait une carri\u00e8re \u00e0 laquelle il r\u00eavait depuis son enfance.<\/p>\n

La communaut\u00e9 de Perth-Andover o\u00f9 il a grandi \u00e9tait \u00e0 proximit\u00e9 de la for\u00eat. Aaron partait souvent en randonn\u00e9e pour explorer, chasser, rouler dans la boue, faire des barbecue et camper. Il \u00e9tait souvent accompagn\u00e9 de sa meilleure amie, sa soeur Kim, m\u00eame en hiver. Ils ont d\u00e9j\u00e0 construit un appentis et un foyer pour une nuit de camping d\u2019hiver. Cet endroit sert encore lors des barbecues en famille. M\u00eame s\u2019il avait un enthousiasme pour ces activit\u00e9s, il l\u2019\u00e9tait moins pour ses travaux scolaires. Toutefois, cela ne l\u2019a pas emp\u00each\u00e9 de devenir vice-pr\u00e9sident du conseil \u00e9tudiant et d\u2019avoir du plaisir \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9cole. Les jeunes filles le trouvaient d\u2019ailleurs tr\u00e8s s\u00e9duisant et athl\u00e9tique (il jouait au hockey depuis l\u2019\u00e2ge de six ans). Aaron a m\u00eame \u00e9t\u00e9 vendu aux ench\u00e8res lors d\u2019un \u00e9v\u00e9nement, et il devait parader dans les rues, habill\u00e9 comme une fille; d\u2019ailleurs, il adorait faire partie de toutes les occasions qui lui permettraient de rendre les autres heureux. Sa m\u00e8re se souvient de lui avec affection \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de quatre ans, lorsqu\u2019il lui expliquait combien c\u2019\u00e9tait tr\u00e8s important qu\u2019il aille chez le coiffeur, parce qu\u2019apr\u00e8s, les gens lui souriaient. Peut-\u00eatre est-ce l\u00e0 l\u2019origine de son d\u00e9sir inn\u00e9 de rendre les autres heureux. Ses aventures d\u2019enfance incluaient la chasse et la conduite du vieux camion de son p\u00e8re, lequel s\u2019est retrouv\u00e9 directement dans un arbre. Malgr\u00e9 son nez cass\u00e9, Aaron avait trop de plaisir pour se rendre \u00e0 l\u2019h\u00f4pital et il a, en quelque sorte, replac\u00e9 son nez lui-m\u00eame.<\/p>\n

Aaron a toujours su qu\u2019il voulait faire partie d\u2019un organisme qui avait pour objectif de venir en aide aux autres. Apr\u00e8s son dipl\u00f4me du secondaire, il a envisag\u00e9 la GRC, mais il a choisi de s\u2019enr\u00f4ler dans le Royal Canadian Regiment en 2003. Il a d\u2019abord \u00e9t\u00e9 affect\u00e9 \u00e0 la Base de soutien de la 5e Division du Canada Gagetown, qui l\u2019a men\u00e9 \u00e0 sa premi\u00e8re mission en Afghanistan en 2005, peu de temps apr\u00e8s la naissance de sa fille Kayla. Il \u00e9tait un p\u00e8re pr\u00e9sent, aimant, charmant et dr\u00f4le. C\u2019\u00e9tait un c\u00f4t\u00e9 de lui que peu connaissaient, et autant la vie militaire lui collait \u00e0 la peau, autant son r\u00f4le de p\u00e8re lui est venu naturellement. Le fait d\u2019\u00eatre le cadet d\u2019une famille de trois grandes s\u0153urs lui a peut-\u00eatre pav\u00e9 le chemin pour devenir un p\u00e8re merveilleux. Aaron et sa fianc\u00e9e Jenn se pr\u00e9paraient pour une autre \u00e9tape importante de leur vie; apr\u00e8s l\u2019achat d\u2019une maison en 2006 , ils avaient pr\u00e9vu de se marier en octobre 2007.<\/p>\n

En Afghanistan, Aaron \u00e9tait un tireur d\u2019\u00e9lite. Ses compatriotes le percevaient comme quelqu\u2019un de discret, comp\u00e9tent, mature et confiant de la direction que prenaient sa carri\u00e8re et sa vie. Dans ses lettres, il a \u00e9crit que les conditions de vie des Afghans \u00e9taient troublantes pour quelqu\u2019un qui, comme lui, avait grandi dans un tout autre univers. Il y d\u00e9crivait l\u2019odeur et la poussi\u00e8re comme \u00e9tant particuli\u00e8rement d\u00e9rangeantes; le malaise omnipr\u00e9sent lorsqu\u2019il n\u00e9gociait avec les Afghans dans la rue, sachant que m\u00eame les enfants pouvaient repr\u00e9senter un danger cach\u00e9 pour les soldats. Tout cela \u00e9tait \u00e0 ses yeux tr\u00e8s loin de sa propre enfance et celle de sa fille (laquelle a suivi les traces de son p\u00e8re en choisissant de pratiquer le hockey).<\/p>\n

Malgr\u00e9 tout, sa famille et ses camarades savaient que Aaron \u00e9tait \u00e0 sa place, assumant son choix de venir en aide aux autres et en accord avec l\u2019individu int\u00e8gre et heureux qu\u2019il \u00e9tait, c\u2019\u00e9tait ce qu\u2019il voulait vraiment. \u00c0 l\u2019image de ce qu\u2019il r\u00e9pondait souvent quand quelqu\u2019un lui demandait ce qu\u2019il faisait, il disait : \u00ab Tout ce que je veux! \u00bb<\/p>\n
