Memories and Condolences

Alec is my younger cousin and I love that he is apart of my family! My best memories of Alec are probably at Lake Powell. I loved going with the Henriksen´s. We had the best time playing as kids in the water, sand, and on the boat. I also remember being with Todd and Alison´s family on Christmas Eve. Alec always had something funny up his sleeve for the talent show. I loved having sleepovers with Caitlin and remember Alec and Landon trying to annoy us as little brothers do. Alec was funny, kind, and laughed a lot. He was a joy to be around and I can´t wait to see him again. Love you cousin!

Alec, oh amazing Alec. You are remembered. You are missed. You are a forever part of our family. Love you.

Where does one begin to remember such a remarkable human? As much as I´d love to share stories of Alec, I think it might be best to share the impact he had. I remember sitting at the training table and he and Alison were getting in a bit of a disagreement about politics at the time.
Dear Alec, you would love your mom´s political views. Your passion for politics is now mirrored in her.
One time he critiqued Caitlin on drinking coffee with creamer. Dear Alec, when she drinks coffee, she only drinks it black now. She´s raised her INCREDIBLE kids to know you and honor your memory.
Alec created a safe space for people to truly be themselves, perhaps most evident in the authentic and truly amazing person his twin brother, Landon is.
And lastly, Dear Alec, Eli was the youngest sibling that had to endure such an immense loss. I want you to know your curiosity of the world lives strongly in him and I know you would be so proud of the man he has become. We miss you Alec and I am so honored to have known you even if far too briefly. My love goes out to the Henriksen family on the anniversary of his passing. I´m sure Alec is proud of you all.

I loved growing up as one of Alec´s cousins. He was such a vital part of our ecosystem of mischief. I remember his voice, his laugh, and how good he was at playing "I love you baby, but I just can't smile" at our annual sleepovers. One of my favorite memories was on a Christmas Eve in the basement of Grandma and Grandpa's house: when it got time to light his candle, he had sucked on it beforehand so it sputtered and struggled to light. (I think Landon did the same with his, too.) The cousins giggled as all of our aunts and uncles tried to keep things serious. I remember that moment so vividly because it was the first time I had seen anyone do that. Every year, ever since, I have done the same with my own candle. Thank you, Alec, for inspiring me to be playful and curious and to think deeply about our world. I am grateful for your spark (both literally with the candle and figuratively with your mind) and send my love forever to Aunt Alison, Uncle Todd, Eli, Caitlin, Landon, and Eli. Love you all so much forever and ever.

My favorite memories of Alec are when I lived with his family in England for a year as their Nanny cousin. Alec and Landon were three years old and I would drive all of the kids to an American school every day. One of those days, the kids were particularly loud and as I was changing the radio station, I rear ended the car in front of me. Unfortunately, it had nothing to do with driving on the wrong side of the road, just distracted by kids and the radio! Luckily no one was hurt.
Alec was a very strong willed child and as I was only 19 I didn't have the experience (even being the oldest of six!) to really help him through some of his wants and desires and I would put him in time out often. Poor kid! As he got older, I understood more of what a deep thinker he was and he was able to talk his way into or out of many situations when I would stay at their house over the years when Todd and Alison traveled.
Alec, you were an amazing human! I am sorry that this world was not always kind to you and your incredible mind. I love you fiercely and can't wait to hug you some day! Love you cuz!

Some of my favorite memories of Alec are:
- His laugh.
- His determination to do what HE wanted to do.
- He was smart. He could figure out how to do anything.
- His laugh.
Alec, Landon and I would have sleep overs and stay up late pulling pranks, playing with fireworks, playing video games or watching movies. One time I remember we stayed awake until Eli fell asleep and we put lipstick on him. Even when Todd was yelling at us to stop picking on Eli and to go to sleep, we couldn´t stop laughing, which Todd didn´t appreciate. That´s how it was with Alec, even when times were boring, or we were supposed feel bad, he made it fun. It was always a great time with Alec.
Living without Alec seems less. Less bright, less happy, less laughter.
Love you Alec. Love you too Todd, Alison, Cory, Caitlin, Landon, and Eli.

When I close my eyes, I can still see Alec´s smile and hear his laugh. It has always been my favorite part about him! We´re only a few months apart, and share many memories growing up together. Christmas sleepovers at grandma`s house, climbing through her bathroom chute will always be some of my favorite. The pranks the boys would try and play on us girls, listening to stories from Grandma and Grandpa by the Christmas tree. Having my own twins now, I think of him (& Landon) often. I love you Alec- I can only imagine what you´ve been learning on the other side of this life. You have always been meant for the greatest things. Give Grandma a squeeze for me. xx

Alec was such a bright kid, i remember him solving puzzles and games at Grandma and Grandpas house when he was just a little kid. He and Landon were such a fun duo being the only twins in the Henriksens! My favorite memory of him, was in when we met up in London, when I was on a study abroad and they were visiting during their stay in Belgium. I was walking down the street to meet up with them and he and Landon starting running towards me and saying, "Elizabeth is coming! Elizabeth is coming!" It was such a wonderful day to spend with family, with Todd & Alison treating me like one of their kids and paid for my food and tickets that day. When I was heading back to my house, Todd had everyone come off the tube with me and walked me back to the house. Alec & Landon came up to see my bunk room and have some candy before they left to go back to their hotel. It was so wonderful to be with family that summer and have adorable cousins who were excited to see me too!
Sure miss you Alec! Love you!

When we were kids Alec and I decided to make a home movie. I remember the scene, we were mortal enemies and Alec entered the room I was in. I said "What are you doing here?" In my meanest voice. He looks down at the coffee table and says "oh no no no! It´s a bomb! It´s a bomb!" We both go running into the next room and leap into the room as a fake explosion goes off. Alec was able to add the special effects on some computer program. The kid was like ten years old and already had so much talent with computers. Watching the video later I also realized he was a much better actor than I was. lol i miss my cousin so much, I think about him all the time still. He will always be in my heart and I know we will meet again in heaven.

"Explorer of Heaven and Earth" - That is the perfect title for Alec. He was always learning. Whenever you sat and talked to him he was full of questions and could converse on an adult level on most any subject. He seemed very interested in science an how things worked. He loved to talk to Bob about flying airplanes and being a pilot. When Angie tended him once he ate an onion like an apple. He probably just wanted to know what it would be like. We loved being with Alec for most Thanksgivings and a few Christmas Eves. We know that we will see him again in heaven. He will probably be learning how to build houses for those people up here so something he could put his bright mind to. We love you Alec.

Alec was smart, and funny, with a most contagious laugh (I can still hear it, and it always makes me smile)
He loved mashed potatoes (and lots of it, he needed a dinner plate just for them).
Onion sandwiches were often his choice for lunch (yes just sliced bread with sliced onions)
He loved parties, holidays, fun trips, and adventures, and would get so worked up with anticipation and excitement the night before that he would have trouble sleeping.
Sleepovers at our house with Alec and Landon were always nights filled with laughing, mischief, silliness, and (sometimes) surprises. Like when the two of them decided to pick all the tulips in my front yard (they were kind and just plucked off the flowers, leaving all the long stems for me).
I miss him so much. Love you Alec.

Sending lots of love and warm thoughts as we remember Alec together.

I have so many memories with Alec. I don´t have one memory in particular to share here, but more of a memory of experiencing so much together. I was so lucky to have Alec and Landon by my side for pretty much all of my childhood. We went to the same schools, were in so many classes together. We did Halloween parades together and sit by each other in class. Alec and Landon would walk home from school with me sometimes and I remember we would eat as much food as we could! I remember being jealous of the Hot Wheels set that my mom bought for them once! Alec gave me his old yellow game boy that I loved. We had a cousin sleepover at the cabin once and I remember sitting on the front porch with Alec while he had a green laser he was shining all over the canyon as we chatted for a while in the night. I´ll always be lucky to have so many funny memories with Alec.

Alec - Although you and I didn´t get to cross paths on this side of Heaven, I feel like I know you by the way your family talks about you: curious, adventurous, witty, always helping others, and never status quo. Eli and I honored you at our wedding in May. While you physical presence was deeply missed, I trust you were there in your own way, likely from the best seat in the house, perhaps watching with my sister Anneka. It is a privilege to be part of your family, and I am so blessed to get to spend the rest of my life with your brother.

Alison I just heard about Alec this morning from Melinda and it broke my heart. I've never met Alec but I know how hard it is to lose a child no matter what age and I can't tell you enough how sorry I am...It's a hurt that in some ways never goes away but Heavenly Father is kind and he will help you heal. My love and prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Henriksen family,
I was deeply saddened to hear of the death of your son and brother. He was in my daughter's chemistry class at Earlham. My heart has been with you ever since I heard the news. Last Thursday, a week after his death, I sat on a cliff by the sea in Maine, and grieved for him, a young man I never met whose life ended much too soon. Please know that you are being held by strangers and friends alike as your heart breaks over and over again.

I met Alec at Earlham and we spent time talking about stuff like jazz and film. He was one of the most curious people I've ever met, and his enthusiasm was contagious. We also worked together teaching children to read, and I really miss listening to him joke around with his kid from across the room. Thank you for raising such a wonderful person, he will never be forgotten.

To the Henriksen Family,
We were deeply saddened to learn of Alec’s passing. Alec was a very brilliant and creative young man. His creative endeavors on many projects relative to websites, storyboards, and computer programming were exemplary. He was always very enthusiastic about the projects he was involved in, and always took the initiative to contribute and was very persistent in following through until all of his responsibilities relative to our current projects were complete. In fact, Alec would go the extra mile to get others involved, even to the extent that he would gently nudge those involved who were just a little bit behind. Everyone in our office was very fond of Alec. Our deepest heartfelt sympathies are with your family.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss when Tamee called and told me - I didn't know him but I remember how your mom Peggy would talk about your family and how much she loved you and was so proud of all of them.

Dear Henriksen Family,
I was so grateful for the opportunity I had to know Alec. Alec has a wonderful personality and he blessed, and will continue to bless, the lives of all those around him. Alec was my best friend in sixth grade and I don't think he ever knew what an impact he had on me. In fifth and sixth grade I struggled with feelings of acceptance and isolation. Alec became my friend at a very critical point. His friendly personality helped me feel better about myself and all those around me. I was so glad I met him when I did. Alec cared for others and wasn't only concerned with himself. I learned through Alec that no matter how low you feel, someone cares for you. After sixth grade, Alec and I went our separate ways. I would hang out with Alec and see him from time to time, but I wish we had still done more together. I was sorry to hear about what happened to Alec. Know that Alec and your family are in my prayers. Alec blessed my life, and I pray that your family will be comforted during this time.
