Aaron P. Sorenson, 57, Fargo passed away Monday, April 4, 2022 at Essentia Health, Fargo.
Aaron Sorenson was born on February 15, 1965 in Fosston, MN, to Orval and Mertis (Aarestad) of Zerkel, MN. Aaron attended elementary school in Shevlin and graduated from Bagley High School in 1983. He went on to earn a computer science degree from NDSCS in Wahpeton, ND in 1985. Aaron then transferred to Moorhead State University to complete his bachelor’s degree. He started his career in technology as a computer programmer and went on to work for Great Plains Software and later Microsoft for 20 years. His sales career continued at Applied Engineering until he was unable to work due to illness. His work provided the opportunity to travel across North America where he was privileged to attend simple Sunday morning meetings and see the unity of the Spirit across the country.
In 1981 at a church convention in Emo, Ontario, Aaron professed to follow the path of Jesus and endeavored to follow that path until the last day. That same year he met Sherlene Marsh and they were married in 1985. They lived in Moorhead and Fargo before building a home in Moorhead where their children were born. In 1998, they built another home in West Fargo. Aaron enjoyed fellowship, music, fishing, hunting and kiteboarding.

Our sympathy to all of Aaron’s family!
Love and caring thoughts to Aaron’s family.
Our Sympathy to the family , with our Love, Cleo and Frank
I think Todd was a baby when I met Aaron’s parents and several years later I was in their home area for a year. Aaron would have been about 7 then. It has been good to have our paths cross several times in his adulthood. The last time was at Leonard Ringdahl’s funeral, also at Boulgers. I have loved reading about his family standing by as well as his time with brother Steve who is very far away again.
Our thoughts are with Aaron’s family. He shared walleye with us after his fishing trips.
Sorry for your loss. I appreciated Aaron as a friend and brother in Christ. He will be greatly missed by many.
Very grateful for the care and interest shown by Aaron. To the family, appreciate following updates.
Love to think of Phil 4- how the peace of God can keep one’s heart and mind.

Aaron was a very appreciated friend! He and his talented family shared their beautiful music with us at our son in law’s funeral, and many times in joy and sadness. We are deeply indebted to them.

I was saddened to learn the news of Aaron’s passing. Aaron and I played a lot of volleyball together back in our playing days. We were frequently teammates in league play. He was a good teammate, easy to play alongside and we had a lot of fun back then. My sympathies to Sherlene and the kids.
