Aaron Christopher Mielke was born on November 9, 1981 at St. Gabriel's Hospital in Little Falls to Mary Ann (Miller) and Steve Mielke. He attended school in Little Falls and graduated with the class of 2000. After high school, he attended school in Minneapolis and studied music production and sound engineering. He then went to work for Mars Music in Roseville. Eventually he and his father Steve purchased Broadway Pizza in Maple Grove, which Aaron managed and subsequently owned. After selling the restaurant, Aaron managed one of the Cartridge World locations in the Twin Cities, and during that time also began to pursue his true passion and love of music by starting his own sound production business and named it Bomb Squad. After leaving Cartridge World, he took Bomb Squad full time, traveling the Midwest providing and operating sound systems for music venues and various bands. Aaron also had many interests in life, including hunting with his cousin Scott Axel, fishing, camping, snowmobiling, riding motorcycle, golfing, and just spending time outdoors. He was constantly pursuing new interests, which included building a computer for his sound business. He will be remembered for his quick wit and fun personality, but most of all for his love of family and friends. Aaron was deeply loved and will be forever missed.
