Little Aaron Donquwe Perkins, Jr., also know affectionately as “A.J.”, “Lil A” and “Lil Worm” by his loving family and friends, passed away December 17, 2022, in Davie Florida. Age 12 years old. He was born May 28, 2010, to Aaron Donquwe Perkins, Sr. and Tanille Jackson in Lansing, Michigan, at Sparrow Hospital.

Aaron attended Lansing and Holt public schools, and upon his move to Florida, also attended Davie public school.

Aaron had a smile that would light up any room he stepped foot in. You would always catch him being a jokester. Aaron wanted to be a rapper; he loved music and money. He also enjoyed football, fishing, playing video games, cooking, and being with his family.

It was like Aaron had been here before; he had an old soul. He was always caring and concerned about how you were. Aaron was a very loving child, and that smile is what we will miss the most.

He leaves to cherish his memory, his father, Aaron Perkins, Sr; his mother, Tanille Jackson; grandmother, TeKosha Perkins; grandfather; Arthur (Selena Harris); great-great-grandmother, Olevia Powers; siblings, Christian Ray Jackson, Qu’Chaun Walton-Perkins; cousin who was more of a brother, ZiQuese Harris; aunt, NaTosha Harris; uncles, Arthur Harris, III and Tarris Jackson; godfather, Jim Spitz; and many other aunts, uncles, cousins, and close friends who all loved him dearly.

Aaron was preceded in death by his grandmother, Cam Jackson; grandfather, Leon Jackson; great-grandmother, Katrina Perkins; great-grandfather Edison Powers; and baby brother, Ace.
