Today, the Kingston Optimist Club family is mourning the loss of a truly special coach, mentor, and friend, Basketball Coach Aaron Harvey. 💙🧡
Aaron dedicated many years to KOC basketball, giving his time, energy, and heart to the kids he coached. But what he gave them went far beyond the game of basketball. He taught them about teamwork, commitment, discipline, perseverance, respect, and how to carry themselves both on and off the court.
The lessons Coach Aaron taught these kids—and the memories they made with him—will stay with them for years to come. His impact can’t be measured by wins or losses. It can be seen in the lives of the young people he poured into.
Once a KOC coach, always a part of the KOC family. 🧡💙
Please join us in keeping his wife, Kelli, and his children, Avaleigh and Ezra, in your thoughts and prayers during the difficult days ahead.
