I am so sorry for your family’s loss. Alex was a great guy. He always knew how to put a smile on someone’s face. He will be missed!
We used to go to school together, we would pick on each other and never got along. But last year I was just walking around playing Pokémon Go and ran into you. We talked for an hour or two and helped your niece learn to ride a bike. I was happy to hear life was looking up for you, about the rock concerts you had gone to and the woman in your life that you loved so much. Even though it was just one day I was grateful to have made a friend. I can’t stop crying man, I don’t know what happened but I hope heaven has heavy metal up there just for you.
Alex you will be missed by many. It will be hard not to see you at family reunions that is when everyone could make it. Love to the family. RIP Alex.
Jim, Sally, Andrew and family, words cannot express the sadness I feel for you all. He was a true friend, a sweet companion,a caring Brother, a fun Uncle, and a fantastic Son, who will be missed my all who knew him. With a heavy heart we lift him up. RIP Alex Love Auntie Teen and Uncle Dale
