Aidan J Gentert

Aidan was born December 30, 2006, on his parents’ first wedding anniversary, in Ft. Lewis, WA to David and Leslie (Cline) Gentert. Aidan moved with his family to Colorado, Germany, South Carolina, and Texas as his father was active-duty Army. He matured at a very young age, and he made lifelong friends everywhere he moved. Aidan was up for any new experience, and he was the one you could always count on for anything. As with many others, when COVID hit and Aidan had to do school from home, he struggled with the inability to hang out with his friends. Once he moved to Hastings and became a student at Hastings Public Schools he came out of his shell and found his “home”. Aidan excelled at school, voluntarily joined the cross country and track teams, and found a job on his own at Blue Fork because he wanted to make his own money and save for his future plans. Aidan attended Hastings Senior High School where he held A and B grades in all classes including honors classes. Aidan enjoyed hunting and fishing with his family, tormenting the dogs, gaming, running cross country and track, skateboarding with Chloe, listening to rap music, telling stories with jokes and sarcasm, and hanging out with his parents and sister. Aidan was a rock for his mom and Chloe when his dad served multiple deployments. Aidan was loved by so many and will be missed by many more.

Aidan was preceded in death by his grandfather, Bud Cline and uncles, Jeff Cline, and Michael Gentert.
