Aaron M. Septaric

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Aaron Michael Septaric, of Lorain, Ohio on July 22, 2026, at the age of 36, as the result of a motorcycle accident in Amherst, Ohio.

Aaron was born on September 21, 1989 in Lorain, Ohio. He graduated from Amherst High School in 2008 and attended the Lorain County Joint Vocational School, where he studied Welding and Fabrication. His dedication and exceptional work ethic earned him the honor of being named Valedictorian of his class.

During his Junior year of high school, Aaron was hand-selected by Norfab of Elyria to begin an apprenticeship, launching a career he truly enjoyed. He was a member of the Sheet

Metal Workers Local 33 of Vermilion, where he remained a member until his passing. Most recently, Aaron worked at GEM Inc. in North Ridgeville, a company he often described as his favorite place to work where he went from a Steward to a Forman in the time he was there.

Aaron had a deep love for adventure and the outdoors. An avid whitewater rafting enthusiast, his favorite place in the world was Ohiopyle, Pennsylvania, where he spent countless weekends camping and rafting with his best buddy, Steve Moran. Those trips brought him peace, joy, and some of his happiest memories.

Aaron had a kind heart, an infectious smile, and a gift for making lasting friendships. He touched the lives of so many people and will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

Aaron is survived by his mother, Debbie (Ed) Super; his father, Ronald (Loretta) Septaric; his brothers, Adam and Ronald Septaric; his sister, Sarah Baez; and his stepsisters, Jessica and Sarah Super; along with several nieces, nephews, extended family members, and many dear friends. He was preceded in death by his brother, Brandon Alvarez, his paternal grandparents, Frank and Doris Septaric; and his maternal grandparents, Patricia (Bacil) Frymier and Kenneth (Shirley) Riley. Aaron's adventurous spirit, unwavering work ethic, and generous heart will forever be remembered. Though his time with us was far too short, the memories he created and the love he shared will live on in the hearts of those who knew him
