In Loving Memory of Chef Aaron May
1977 – 2025
With heartfelt sorrow and deep admiration, we remember and celebrate the life of Chef Aaron May, a culinary icon whose creative genius, larger-than-life personality, and unwavering generosity made him a beloved figure far beyond the kitchens he commanded.
Known for his bold flavors and even bolder spirit, Aaron was more than just a chef — he was a mentor, a storyteller, a loyal friend, and a true original. Whether crafting dishes that wowed at his award-winning restaurants or lifting up fellow chefs with his encouragement and humor, Aaron infused everything he did with passion and authenticity.
His food was unforgettable, but it was his heart that truly set him apart. He gave freely — of his time, his talent, his laughter, and his love — making everyone feel welcome, seen, and valued. He inspired countless others in the culinary world, leaving behind a legacy that is as rich and layered as the meals he so lovingly created.
Aaron’s passing leaves a profound void, but his light continues to shine in every life he touched and every dish that tells a story. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
We send our deepest love and condolences to his family, friends, and the entire culinary community.
Rest in power, Chef. You will always have a seat at our table.
