Obituary - Aron McCall Janssens

Aron McCall Janssens

Aron McCall Janssens, 22, of Peculiar, Missouri, was born on January 18, 1996, in Kansas City, Missouri, the only son of Albert and Dayna Janssens. He departed this life Sunday, January 28, 2018, at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kansas.

A graduate of Ray-Pec High School's Class of 2014, Aron recently completed his first semester at UMKC where he majored in Finance, after receiving his Associate of Arts degree from Longview Community College. 

He was employed at CVS Pharmacy as a Pharmacy Technician in order to pay his way through school. A gifted mechanic, Aron had an interest in all things engine related. This was an interest he developed as a very young child and never let go of.

He is survived by his mother and father; his older sister, Nancy; younger sister, Rosemary; and a very large extended family of aunts, uncles, and cousins.

The family suggests that memorial contributions be made to Cross Catholic Outreach or Food for the Poor.
