Aiden Scott Kimmet, 25
November 28, 2023
Born on April 9, 1998, in Lancaster, PA, Aiden Scott Kimmet left this world too soon on November 28, 2023, at the young age of 25. Aiden was the cherished son of Bryan Kimmet and Sheri Kimmet (Buchter).
A graduate of Penn Manor High School in 2016, Aiden embarked on a journey that touched the lives of many. He worked at Arconic, where he displayed dedication and hard work. Aiden’s high school years were marked by his active involvement in a rodeo club and Future Farmers of America (FFA), showcasing his love for the outdoors and his cowboy spirit. Known for always donning cowboy boots, Aiden embodied the true essence of a country soul.
Aiden’s love for adventure and the outdoors was evident in his passion for fishing, hunting, motocross, and bull riding association. His life was a testament to his appreciation for the adrenaline rush that came with these activities. With a heart of gold and a gentle soul, Aiden was a loving and kind individual who treated everyone with respect. He had an infectious smile and a great sense of humor, bringing joy to those around him.
Aiden’s polite nature, always expressing gratitude with a simple “thank you,” endeared him to all who had the pleasure of knowing him. His contentment with life and his refusal to complain left a lasting impact on those who were fortunate enough to share in his journey. Aiden’s respect for veterans was a testament to his gratitude for those who served their country. He leaves behind a legacy of warmth, kindness, and camaraderie.
The recent tragedy has left Aiden’s light to shine on his grieving parents, Bryan Kimmet of Holtwood and Sheri Kimmet (Buchter) of Pequea, as well as his grandparents M. Douglas and R. Yvonne Enck, and William M. and Donna Buchter, Great aunts and uncles, Dean and Patti Pannebecker, and Ted and Gail Bare. Also, several cousins and step-uncles, Andrew and Timothy Smith, and their families.
He will be missed by too many to call by name who he became close friends with over the years. His childhood “brothers” were numerous, including Marshall, Matt and Colin. Bob Hershey, Jr. impacted Aiden’s life. Aiden had a remarkable ability to make everyone feel like a friend. Aiden is preceded in death by his grandmother, Valerie Kimmet, whose memory he now joins.
Friends, family, and all those touched by Aiden’s vibrant spirit are invited to pay their respects at the funeral service, which will be held at Charles F. Snyder III, 2421 Willow Street Pike, on Saturday, December 9, 2023. The viewing will take place from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, followed by the service at noon. Aiden will be laid to rest at Quarryville Cemetery. Come as you are, if you rode with Aiden, wear your boots and cowboy hat, if you just hung out with him just wear what you did with him. If you have something to wear that makes you think of him, wear it. If you are working, come from work. Just be here with us and celebrate the amazing man he is. We can all cry and laugh together.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests contributions be made to Building Bridges at buildingbridgesfoundation.org in Aiden’s honor.

I’m so sorry to hear about Aiden’s passing. I met Aiden in middle school, and he was one of the most kind and caring people I’ve ever known. He was friends with everyone, and he always had a way of making people feel welcome and happy. I will always remember his funny jokes and his hilarious laugh. I know the angels are getting a hoot out of him right now.
He is missed by so many, and I will never forget him or the way he made others feel. What a legacy that will be remembered.
Sending all my sincere condolences to his mom and dad. May you feel the love surrounding you during this time and may you always know how dearly held you are in thoughts and prayers.

Yvonne and Doug,
Oh my, I am so saddened to hear about your grandson. It was on the news but I had no idea what Sheri’s last name was and then saw the paper and I read the article and was shocked. I am sure Sheri does not remember me but my thougths and prayers are with all of you at this time. There really are no words to describe the impact of your loss, just know you are being thought of. Take care.

His kind heart and amazing soul will forever live through me, he taught me to go through life with a smile no matter the situation. I love you and Aiden and I miss you. Until I see you again, brother ❤️

“With a heart of gold and a gentle soul, Aiden was a loving and kind individual who treated everyone with respect. He had an infectious smile and a great sense of humor, bringing joy to those around him.” These are the perfect words to sum Aiden up for those who were not fortunate enough to call him a friend. I met Aiden several years ago through my daughters and his friend group. He was always so kind and respectful, he brightend our days and forever had a smile. We send our condolences and are so sorry for your loss. He will be greatly missed. Extended prayers for your family during this difficult time.
Robyn, Andi and Ivy
