On the evening of Wednesday, April 27, 2022, Aaron Robert Vess, of Old Fort, North Carolina went home to be with the Lord. A native of McDowell County, Aaron was born on July 20, 1964 to the late Floyd and Georgia Hall Vess.

Aaron is the current pastor of Westminster Baptist Church in Union Mills, where he has served for seventeen years. He was known as a kind, patient and meek man that enjoyed family get togethers. He loved the Lord and his family, especially his granddaughters who affectionally called him Poppa. 

Left to cherish his memories are his wife of forty years, Wadean Griffin Vess; one daughter, Ashley Vess McKinney (Ricky); two grandchildren, Kenzley McKinney and Briley McKinney; mother and father-in-law, Imogene and Bud Griffin; two brothers, Glenn Vess and Allen Vess; two sisters, Revonda Jackson and Debra Vess.
