Oh where do I begin. Months later after your passing and I find myself listening to one of our many songs. You made me laugh, you made me cry, you made me love, you made me hate. I will always have a place for you in my heart for teaching me, showing me and loving me. My life wouldn't have been the same without you and for that I thank you.
My heart aches for your family's loss, but I know you are in a better place, free from suffering.

Alex was my close friend. He made me laugh all the time. He made the little things important. As I was growing up he would show me nothing but love, by showing me the ropes, spending lots of time together. Alex I will see you soon. I love ya, miss ya, and will surely never forget you!

My thoughts and prayers are with your family. I was deeply saddened to hear of his passing. I was a classmate of Alex in Highschool. Although it has been many years since I have seen him..I always remembered him with a beautiful smile and a contagious laugh.
