SAN RAFAEL, Calif. - A community is mourning the death of a 17-year-old boy who died while hiking in Marin County last week.

Aaron Baten was set to begin his senior year at San Rafael High School when he died on Aug. 11 in the Marin Headlands.

The teen was being remembered for his kindness, warm smile, and as someone who worked hard with a positive energy, making the space around him better.

In a GoFundMe set up to help Baten's family, organizers of the fundraiser said that he died doing something he really loved.
