'What We Left Behind' Tribute to Aron Eisenberg

The DS9Doc cast, crew, and wider Star Trek family have been devastated by the sudden loss of our friend Aron Eisenberg ("Nog"). As a tribute to him, we are honored to share this extended piece from our time filming with Aron on 'What We Left Behind.'

A ‘like’ doesn’t really reflect it properly - really need a ‘love’ button for this. R.I.P. Aron - your legacy lives on forever.

‘All I need is a chance to prove it’. Best line ever.

May the registrar at the gates of the divine treasury accept your bribe and usher you in.

Rest in peace.

"That seven years changed my life." -Aron

...and you changed ours forever. <3

any who never really got to meet Aron... he was the real deal. I worked with him on DS9. He was Just So Happy to Be there!... Pleasant and Grateful for Everything he had. He IS the Example of How to Approach Life... Follow it... You wont be able to be disappointed when you learn to be thankful for all that you have.

How many times can I like this? *200? 300?*

So humble. So grateful! What a generous guy!

No one can take it away from him... and no one can take it away from us. Aron gave his character "Nog" so much life and it really shined through in his performance. He gave us a part of him. RIP Aron.

one of my favorite things about DS9 was to watch Nog go from a punk kid to a respected Star Fleet Officer.

dream is your gift to us!.... THANK P!

Nog had some of the best character development in Star Trek history & Aron's portrayal will stand the test of time.

R.I.P Aron. We will miss you <3

At a gaming convention called GenCon, I played in a live action roleplaying game based on DS9. I played Grand Nagus Zek (one of several), and throughout the weekend, I "won" the staves of the other (now false) Grand Naguses (Nagi?). My prize? A surprise that I will never forget! I got to sit down at the Dabo table and play a game with Aron, who roleplayed Nog throughout the game. He treated the game, and us nerdy geeks, with love, humor and respect. It was an honor to spend time with him—thank you Aron! You are missed!

Rest in peace you changed our lives forever.

Aron was an absolute treasure. He has left a legacy of joy. Nog became one of my favorite characters on the show, alongside Odo and Garak.
Your legacy will live on.

Thank you Aron for the entertainment. You offered us a break from our worries. RIP

We will miss you Mr. Nog R.I.P. warp speed

RIP Aron. Nog's storyline was one of my favourite bits of DS9. From the sulky teenager sitting on the promenade, to the moment he fell in love with a girl who just happened to be a village leader, to his goal to join Starfleet and finally his learning to cope with one leg. Brilliantly written and brilliantly acted by Aron. The scene in which Nog tries to convince Sisko that he is right for Starfleet and finally admits that he wants to make more of hi life than the father he respects as an underappreciated genius. That scene was so well acted.

Nog, Quark and Rom really gave the Ferengi in Star Trek a lot more depths. When they were first introduced in the Next Generation they were very one-dimensional villains.

"I will _forever_ be part of this"

Yes you will, Aron. Yes you sure as hell will. <3 Much love

[paulminshall]

Nog had such a good character development. When he lost his leg and suffered PTSD, I felt it as though he was a real person.

[rbankert]

Nog will always be my favorite Ferengi character. Aron Eisenberg will always be remembered as a legendary person bringing a legendary character to life.

Thank you Aron for showing us who you are as a person thru Nog
