MADISON - Aaron Michael Underwood became one of our Heavenly Father’s special angels and was made whole on July 12, 2025. Freed from his profound neurological impairment and complex and challenging medical issues, Aaron can now dance in the halls of Heaven. Each day in his earthly body since his unexpected early arrival on December 14, 1979, was truly a blessing from God.

Home for Aaron was Central Wisconsin Center for the Developmentally Disabled in Madison since 1983. Words cannot adequately express our deep gratitude for the compassionate and loving care provided by an army of caregivers through the years. Each and every curveball and challenge Aaron tossed out, and there were many, Central Center’s staff of physicians, nursing, therapists, and countless other disciplines, met head on and solved together. Aaron would not have survived and thrived all these years without his CWC army.

Without ever uttering a word, Aaron taught many through the years about how best to provide humane, comprehensive and synchronized care for those with the most profound levels of intellectual and physical disabilities.

Because of Aaron, his parents became quick learners in the world of advocacy, and banded with families across the country advocating to maintain the option of facility based care for those persons with profound intellectual and other developmental disabilities benefiting from the highest level of care.

Aaron waits to be reunited with his loving parents, Kevin and Rebecca Underwood; sister, Rachel; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and family friends. Aaron was welcomed into Heaven by his grandparents who loved him dearly.

Private graveside services with burial will be held on Thursday, July 17. Memorial service and celebration of life will take place at a future date at Central Wisconsin Center.
