Alex was easily one of my closest friends because of his undying loyalty, his laid-back nature, and the fact he was always there for me when I needed him. It's going to be very hard not to have Alex around to just talk and joke around with. Your family was blessed to have such an incredible man as part of it. Alex always talked about his family, and it was easy to tell how much he loved and appreciated each and every one of you. I know I will never meet anyone quite like Alex. He taught me so many important lessons about living life joyfully and fulfilling my potential. Always full of kind words, he gave me strength in the hardest of times.
