AJ was one of the first students I ever had the privilege of teaching. I was lucky enough to teach him during high school and continue to be apart of his life while he was a student in the 21 and over program. AJ and I would always work on telling jokes together, sharing laughs and talking about things we did over the weekend. Every time we saw each other he would always say, "Hey Mr. Sweetman, you have sweets in your name". He will be greatly missed.
AJ will always be one of my best teachers. He brought my heart so much joy and I will forever remember our time together. Angie please know that you are loved by many. May you find peace in your heart.Cori

Vanessa and Mervin Williams. AJ and our son Jaivon were best of friends in school together. He brought out something in Jaivon that no one else could and for that we will always be grateful. His smile and zest for life will be truly missed. RIP
I am so grateful for the time I spent with A.J. at Indian River High School. Although I was the teacher I learned much from him. A.J. taught me to find joy in everyday. He was a role model when it came to having fun, dancing, and smiling. He was a delightful student, loyal friend, and loving son. A.J. will be missed by many. Love to you Angie.
