Aaron Peel with the Tempe Angels in July 2008.

 

Former Angels minor leaguer Aaron Peel passed away. I was forwarded the below obituary. As soon as I find out anything more, I’ll post it.

Aaron was born on Feb. 8, 1983, in Brownfield, Texas, to Ken and Renee Peel. He graduated from Seminole High School in Seminole, Texas. Aaron loved to play sports, especially baseball and basketball.

    That’s really sad to hear. He had a couple of decent seasons. I guess injuries derailed his career? Any news on the cause of death? And I assume Jepsen will be unavailable for a day or so? Some former prospects as pall bearers, also.

    Thanks for passing this on, Stephen, your one of the few in the sphere of Angels websites that actually cares. Condolences to the family.

    My sweet angel, you are missed immensely. I took for granted the time I worked with you. Can not wait to see you again.

    All my love.
