"Cracking jokes with him would be -- I would miss that the most," said Suanay Hernandez. "He was a very genuine person. He was such a good friend to me and he was always there if you needed help."
The body of Aguilar, 18, was found in rural Levy County on October 12. Police used dental records to identify him.
Pedro Bravo is charged with first-degree murder in Aguilar's death. He is expected to plead not guilty.
