Alec Kaiser Obituary

WOODSTOCK – Alec John Kaiser, 16, of Woodstock, died Sunday, July 1, 2012.
Alec was born May 29, 1996. He was the son of Jerald Kaiser and Tiffany and William Sevcik, older brother Katie and William Sevcik.
Alec had touched many people in his life with his bright smile, his charm and all-around good nature. He loved being on his family's dairy farm, working with the animals. He especially loved tinkering with the machinery with his uncle Jeff. He also enjoyed showing his sister and brother the baby animals on the farm, giving them rides on his four-wheeler, spending time with them at home wrestling and playing games on the Wii. He was their hero.
Alec was an avid outdoorsman, and loved to fish with his stepdad and good buddies, Gavin and Michael. He also loved to hunt, ride his four-wheeler, and snowmobile around the farm with his dad and his best-bud, Brad.
Alec will always be remembered by his family and friends as a fun-loving kid, someone you could always count on and would be right by your side when there was a need. He had a great big heart, and was ready to give a great big hug to everyone.
Alec was preceded in death by his grandmother, Judith K. Kaiser.
Along with his parents, siblings, and uncle Jeff, on his father's side, he is survived by his grandfather, James A. Kaiser. On his mother's and stepfather's side, he is survived by his grandparents, John and Dar Kruse, and Don and Kate Bennett; cousins, Marissa, Nikk and Tomy, with whom he had a special bond; godparents, Jack and Phyllis Fischer; uncle, Tim, and aunt, Sandra; many loving aunts, uncles and cousins; and great-grandparents.
A time to visit with the family and friends to honor his life will be from 2 p.m. until the memorial service at 6 p.m. Saturday, July 7, at Schneider-Leucht-Merwin & Cooney Funeral Home, 1211 N. Seminary Ave., Woodstock. All are invited to stay. The family asks that if you have any pictures of Alec, please come and share them. There will be boards set up to display them.
In lieu of flowers, a memorial may be made to the 4-H Livestock Barn Memorial Project, in care of McHenry County Fair Foundation, P.O. Box 375, Woodstock, IL 60098, in Alec's name. Each year, Alec was an avid supporter to his family and friends who showed their animals there.

To all the people that were touched by Alec Kaisers life...
Our deepest sympathy and most heartfelt prayers and thoughts go out to you all. We attended the wake. It was beautiful, but at the same time painful. Our son Chris Nelson was friends with both of them. He took it very hard and talks about the funny things, or something Alec did or talked about.
In that exact way Alec will always be with us. I am so extremely sorry for the loss of this precious life.

My heart goes out to you, Jerry and Tiffany, and all of Alec's family and friends. I know there's nothing anyone can say or do to lessen your pain, but please know that you are in our thoughts, and dear hope that time can lessen the pain, and change your heartache to dear memories and loving remembrance.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there. I did not die.
-Mary Elizabeth Frye, 1932
