Life for Ashton was filled with adventure and joy. He cherished his childhood memories spent playing baseball and reveled in the peacefulness of fishing, particularly at pay lakes. As a tremendous athlete, he enjoyed golfing, and his love for sports extended to being a passionate fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Boston Red Sox. Recently, he attended his first Red Sox game in Cincinnati, adding yet another cherished memory to his short but vibrant life.
