Aaron Glen Pervis was born on February 5, 1965, in Waukegan, Illinois, the son of Melvin and Judith (Meekma) Pervis. Aaron spent some of his childhood in Bradenton, Florida. In 1974 the Pervis family moved to Middle River, MN. He started his schooling at the Tindolph Seventh Day Adventist School, then on to the Middle River SDA School. From there he attended Maplewood Academy in Hutchinson, MN.

Following High School, Aaron attended Southeast Community College in Beatrice, NE where he studied Non-Destructive Testing and learned to became a Master Welder. Straight out of college he worked for Landoll Hauloll in Nebraska. Landoll's line of specialized detachable trailers was known for their ground-loading capabilities for heavy equipment. His job was to test structural integrity on their trailers.

In 1982 Aaron was united in marriage to Lisa Chamberlain in Lincoln, NE. To this union, three children were born: James, Lilly, and Emily. They were the pride and joy of his life, and he loved being their dad.

In 1983 Aaron and his brothers, Jonathan and Wayne moved out to Washington D.C. to work in drywall with their father, Melvin. After 5 years he moved to St. Louis to work for Macdonald Douglas Aerospace.

In the early 90’s Aaron moved back to Middle River. He began working for Natural Way Mills, where he helped to promote organic grains and flour. On the side, Aaron began his own drywall finishing business and again worked with his brother Jonathan.

On December 22, 2018, Aaron married Staci Jenkins in Harrison, AR. Aaron became a step-father to Seth, Samuel, and Simon Carrizosa.

His interests included biking, hiking, the great outdoors, bird watching – he could tell you the type of bird by their song, and gardening.
