Aaron L Weeams

Aaron L. Weeams passed away on August 16, 2025 at 6:06 PM at the age of 51. He was born on December 26, 1973, in Peoria, Illinois to Shirley Ann Smith and Robert Weeams. Growing up, Aaron went to Roosevelt Grade School and Peoria High School. Aaron did not have the privilege of graduating high school but understood the importance of education and obtained his GED. As a kid, Aaron and his Brother liked to take old bike parts and either build functioning bikes or making go carts.

Aaron was employed at several different organizations before leaving to live in St. Paul, Minnesota. He began working in the industrial field, where he did several positions within the factory. He moved back to Peoria and continued to work in the industrial field.

Aaron had a passion for cars and had the privilege of owning several different makes and models. Aaron expressed himself through personalizing his vehicles by customizing and detailing. Aaron spent most of his free time working on his property and would always find new ideas to customize and add a new look that no one else had. He was always the life of the party and enjoyed being around friends and family. In his later years, he especially enjoyed quality time with his grandchildren.
