    Mr. Aaron "Chef Aaron" Edmond Flores

    December 30, 1971 - July 24, 2018

    “To be absent from this body is to be present with the LORD” 2 Cor. 5:8 Aaron Edmond Flores, 46, aka Chef Aaron peacefully transitioned from this life on Tuesday, July 24, 2018. Aaron was born on December 30, 1971 in Phoenix, AZ to Julio and Rosemarie (Candelas) Flores. He married the love of his life, Tameka E. Byrd on August 4, 2001 in California. His easy smile, comedic nature, helping hands and generous heart made him a friend to many. Aaron was an amazing Executive Chef at Pere Marquette. He lived his life to cook and used his gift to enhance the lives of others in such a positive way. Whoever penned the phrase 'the joy of cooking' must have had Aaron in mind. To know him was indeed a blessing. He leaves to cherish his memory, his wife Tameka Flores; his only son Darius Flores; his two brothers Julio Flores and Marcus (Nichi) Flores and a host of family, friends and loved ones. He was preceded in death by his parents Julio (Rosemarie)Flores, his grandparents Atanacio (Justa) Candelas and Margarita Gonzales. A memorial service will be held at 6:30 PM on Saturday, July 28, 2018 at Ignite Church, 415 NE St. Mark Court, Peoria, IL 61603, with a visitation beginning at 5:30 PM. Pastor Russ Shearer will officiate. Simons Mortuary has been entrusted with arrangements. Online condolences may be made at simonsmortuary.com. In Loving Memory of Aaron Edmond Flores.
