Statesboro's youngest firefighter was laid to rest Wednesday with full honors. Aaron Gene Oliver, 8, lost the battle against leukemia Sunday. Diagnosed with the fatal disease almost a year before, in May 2013, the Mill Creek Elementary first-grader was the first honorary Statesboro firefighter to participate in the Firefighter for a Day program.
