Alexander Family - you don't know me, however we are similar in many ways and would like to tell you how we cross paths in many ways. I grew up in Glenshaw, went to Shaler (graduated in 1981) and after college moved to DC where I currently live.

In January 2007 on a Sunday morning I met Scott at the Dunkin Donuts in Olney when he was in line behind me. After noticing Scott's Pitt pullover, we talked a little and connected the dots of our similar backgrounds. After talking, I realized while separated by a few years in age, we both followed the job opportunities in DC and raised a family – you with one and one on the way and me and my wife having 7 children. Little did I realize that after getting the email from Dan Dionisio at OBGC a few weeks later that the same Scott mentioned was the man I met a few weeks back at Dunkin Donuts.

Even though it was a brief encounter, I was impressed with Scott in many ways – he impressed me with his strength, unassuming character, caring and humble like many who grew up in Pittsburgh. I am so sorry for your loss and hearing that you moved back to Pittsburgh to be close to family, it is important during this difficult time. After losing my father at the age of 3, I don't know what my mother would have done without the closeness of our family nearby. Our family prays for you during this first Christmas without Scott and hope that you find comfort in knowing how much Scott has touched people in his too short life.

I am so very sorry for your loss Kris. I remember you and Scott from high school as being two wonderful people. I am sorry again.

Dear Scott--
We celebrated Maddy's 4th birthday today, and we missed you.

We had the year's first snowfall last week, and I remembered you and Brent pulling two sleds with two smiling little girls up the hill to Greenwood park. It made me miss you.

The 'breakfast with Santa' that we all went to last year is coming up soon, and, if we go, I'll smile--and cry--to think of you, my friend, and Brent, carrying a nervous Maddy, a cranky Owen, and a crying Sami up to see Santa because you didn't want pregnant Kris or pregnant me to have to carry a little one. And you kept making sure we were eating. When we go this year, Scott, I will miss you.

But I find solace in knowing that you have made sure that your best friend, Kris, and your two sweet, sweet girls are back home--with family--safe and sound, and that you are watching over your amazing mom every single day, every step of the way, and that you are trying your very best to watch over all of us and to guide us in every way you can. I know that.

But I still really, really miss you.
Amy

Dear Scott --- We gathered yesterday and thoughts turned to you often. We were happy, and we were sad. We missed you so much. Actually we miss you every day, but yesterday was just so much more painful. As will today be. Your daughter is scheduled to arrive today and while we are all so excited and proud, we are also so sad that you won't be here to meet her, hold her, love her and teach her to be as wonderful as you. But we will be here to watch over her, and Kris, and Sami. And we will tell her all about you. We love you.

Kris,
I am so sorry for your loss. All I could think of when I heard the news was why. Although his life was so unfairly cut short, I know he is still with you in your heart, mind and soul. I saw that immediately when you were away from him while at school at JCU. I hope for you and your family peace, but I also pray that you remember all the memories, lessons and journies of life with him. It are these things that keep one forever in our lives. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

During our years together in Marriage Encounter, we knew Scott as the second son of George and Jeanette. As part of the M.E. experience, we met every other Sunday evening, rotating homes, so frequently we sat in their living room. We also gathered at the Alexanders for Christmas dinners and M.E. picnics, and living just around the corner, our lives intersected with Scott frequently.

During his high school years, Scott was the babysitter for our sons Stephen and Eric. Scott was reliable and also someone our sons really enjoyed.

Scott also mowed our lawn and helped our family. Early one December, I knew snow would arrive very soon and our lawn needed its final mowing. Although it was very cold and the weather was less than ideal, I asked Scott to mow our lawn. Scott did not blink an eye, said yes, and mowed the lawn for us.

Scott’s life was marked by a deep respect and acceptance of all people. Scott loved life and family.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, and my prayers are with you. What I remember most about Scott was his laugh and sense of humor, and the way his high spirits lightened the burden on those around him.

God bless you,

We were so shocked and saddened to hear of your unexpected loss. Mr. Alexander worked with 2 of my children and they always looked forward to seeing him.
Whenever I saw him he always had a smile on his face. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

To Kris, Samantha, baby on the way, George, Jeannette, Butch, and Laura,

As my husband mentioned above, I also met Scott through Kris, as I too was part of the indoor soccer team who invited Scott to play with us 12 years ago. What a blessing it has been to have known Scott as a soccer player and more importantly as a wonderful friend, who was more like a family member than a friend. I have so many wonderful memories of all the fun times that we have shared with Scott and Kris, and more recently with Sami, as well. I can so vividly remember one of the last times we got together with them. We met at a friend’s house for a drink before going to dinner at the Rio Grande. When I first walked in the house, there was Scott grinning from ear to ear, so eager to tell me that Kris was pregnant. He said “Kim-have you seen Kris yet?’ I said, “no, I just got here”. He whispered to me-“she’s pregnant, go talk to her!” Of course the rest of the evening was filled with good cheer and many laughs. While waiting to be seated, Scott put Sami on top of the table in the waiting area and was having her dance. When I think of that time, I get a smile on my face, but at the same time I feel such sadness over his loss. My heart not only mourns over the loss of such a wonderful person and special friend, but also in knowing the immense sadness that you, Kris are experiencing over the loss of a lifetime friend, husband, and father of your soon to be two children. I also feel such deep sadness for you, George and Jeannette for the loss of your son, and for you, Butch and Laura who have lost a brother. I can’t even begin to imagine what all of you are going through. I keep you in my daily prayers.

Scott will always live on in my memories, and it is comforting to know that he is living on through Sami and the baby soon to enter this world, as well as through all the people he has so deeply touched (known and unknown) during his short time here on Earth.

To the entire Alexander Family,

I had heard that friends and family were writing short notes in a “Guest Book”, but thought I would pass on it, but after reading the entire book I feel compelled to write and attempt to express how I am feeling.

I share in your deepest sorrow of Scott’s death. I met Scott when he came down to visit Kris while he was still in school in Pittsburgh. We played on an indoor soccer league and had told Kris to bring Scott for a ‘try out’. Well-he made the team, and fit in with a tight knit group who all have stayed in close touch ever since. Since that time we vacationed together, played basketball, tennis, mountain biked, and water skied-yes, imagine, Scott water skiing-not a pretty sight! Scott was more like a brother to me than just a friend. He was always up beat and made you feel that you were the one that was special.

It’s so hard to find the good in any of this, so hard to understand that things work out for the best, or that things happen for a reason. Maybe in time I’ll understand, but for now I’m keeping him in my mind and heart where he will be safe…I love him and I miss him, like I know you all do.

Dear Kris and Family,
I just now learned of Scott's passing, and I apologize I wasn't there to pay my last respects (I live in Denver). Words cannot express how deeply saddened I am about your loss - the world's loss - as Scott was such an amazing person. It's been many years since I have seen you both (I think graduation), but I wanted you to know what a wonderful person Scott was. He was so genuinely nice, caring, and always the guy in highschool who made you laugh and smile. Kris, I have heard you have a beautiful little girl who looks just like you, and another baby on the way, and I hope that these precious lives give you the hope and courage to move forward. No one understands God's plans for us, and please know that I will be thinking about you and your family and praying for you all as you try to work through this difficult time.

Sincere Regards,

I've waited several weeks to share my thoughts with Mr & Mrs Alexander, Butch, Laura, Kris and Samantha hoping the words would be easier to pen, but I was only fooling myself. How can I begin to understand why a young man with so much love in his heart was taken from us when he still had so many lives to touch. I can't. Scott, JD and I were inseparable on and off the soccer field throughout high school. My memories of Scott are endless and are all positive. How many people can say they have a life long friend with whom they never had an argument? I have one...Scott Alexander. One memory of thousands surfaced this week in the wake of the events at Virginia Tech. When we were seniors Scott and myself went on a soccer recruting visit to Virgina Tech. Most recruits probably head back to the dorm at an early hour well not us. You see Scott made friends with all the current players and some random people who had nothing to do with soccer and we ended up going from party to party on and off campus. It was if we had attended Virginia Tech for years. So I have no doubt as the victims of this tragedy join Scott in the afterlife, he has sought them out, reached for their hands, shared his Virgina Tech memory and made them feel at ease. How do I know this? Because I know Scott Alexander and I know Scott always put others before himself. I love you Scott and I may never fully understand the impact you've made on my life.

Dear Alexander Family,

I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear of Scott's untimely death. Though I haven't been in touch with Scott since high school, he still holds a special place in my heart and memories when I think back to a lot of the good times I had growing up. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time.

To The Alexander Family:
George and Jeanette:
Our hearts go out to you both on your lost. To have lost a child is the worst thing a parent can go thur.
Scott was a great son, brother, husband and father. How proud you two can be to be parents of such a fine man. Scott touched so many lives and will live on in the memories of those that knew him. He will live on in the people that he helped not only when he was living but even after this death he will live on in the donations that he was so good to give.
I believe that Scott middle name was Kindness. Kindness to every one that he meet,coached and loved. To the child that he helped to the stranger on the street.Scott would give part of himself either a hand or a smile, it didn't matter because to him they were the same.
Our prayers are with you. Take comfort in knowing what a loving and caring person with so much kindness in his heart was your son,Scott.

Dear Alexander Family,
Words cannot express the sadness and grief we feel in our loss of Scott. We have know him since his beginnings and how fast those years have gone. He always was a delightful child, a promising teenager, and a wonderful person with so much love to give. He touched our lives forever and will be missed but he has provided an example to all who knew him of how much good just one person can do. He was truly remarkable. We all have been blessed to have known him.

To the entire Alexander Family,

I was stunned and very sorry to hear of Scott's untimely passing.
Even as I write to you at this time of bereavement, fond memories of Scott from his high school and Beadling soccer years come to mind.
A great teenager, one to be proud of for sure, growing up then who just got better with time, and as other guest book entries attest, touched so many lives in a positive way. Surely he will be missed, but fortunately for all of us, he will continue live on in our memories.

You all have my sincere and deepest sympathy.

Dear Alexander family, I was very saddened to hear of Scott's passing.

Dear Alexander Family,
I was a colleague of Scott's. Within the first week of meeting him he had me signed up at his gym, got me a real estate agent, soccer tickets, and gave me running advice. And that was just week 1! His enthusiasm for life was infectious and his work with kids was inspiring. I always looked forward to the day when he was at my school and will miss him greatly. My heart goes out to you and his many loved ones.

My deepest sympathy to Kris, Sammi, and Scott's family. I worked with Scott on two occasions: first, when he was a student intern at Way Station in Frederick, MD, and then when he was an OT at CNR, also in Frederick. Enthusiastic is always the word that comes to mind when I think of him. Positive. Funny. Upbeat. A team player. He loved his family - he talked about all of you all the time! He will be missed and remembered by all who knew him. Again, my deepest sympathy....

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Alexander,
I am truly sorry for your loss. You raised a terrific son who was so proud of his parents.
Not only was Scott a terrific coach but he was a wonderful teacher. He worked in my classroom last year assisting the special education students. However Scott had suggestions for every student and made each one feel special.
Kris- He always talked about you and Sami. Everyday he had some story to tell and more pictures to show. He was such a happy man. You both are in my prayers

To the Entire Alexander,

I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I was so shocked and saddened to learn Scott's vibrant, successful and soul-touching life ended so abrutly. Scott was always such a joy to be around. He always knew how to make me laugh and how to encourage me to think positive. He always knew what to say to help me believe in myself to do my best at our track meets. I'll never forgot all the great memories we shared, beginning in the seventh grade. Scott was always kind to everyone he met. He truly cared for people. He was a true friend to me and all those who had the opportunity to enjoy his friendship. He will not be forgotten. I love you all dearly and thank you all so much for all the good times we had at the Alexanders' home on hot summer days in the pool, weekend movie nights and New Year's Eve 1988. You are forever in my heart, my thoughts and my prayers. God comfort and bless you all, Love, Nickers (Nicole Yahres Lombera)

Dear Alexander family,
I spent several years working with Scott, sharing an office, having lunches, and of course always talking. His presence always brightened up the room. His humor, optimism, and smile were such a part of who he was. He was the one who was clever, kind, funny, smart, and so good, but he made everyone else in the room feel that they were the ones who were special. He was so excited talking about his family, his soccer team, and had an enthusiasm for everything. Scott was one of the few people who could work so hard with a severely disabled child, without feeling sorry for them or frustrated, but simply worked to bring out their personal best. He could move from helping a child feed themselves to helping a gifted child with handwriting, and was equally dedicated to each. He had a gift for motivating kids. I hope that the memory of Scott will inspire us all to be just a little bit more like him. He truly was an amazing person. I feel so lucky to have worked with him and to have called him my friend.

To the Entire Alexander family,

Being part of the "Laurel" gang, Scott was part of most of my childhood memories that were the BEST memories--the ones I would go back and relive over and over. I often call the group that hung out the "Stand by Me" friends--after the movie. The gang that you will never forget and will always cherish. THe ones who still affect the way you think and do things today. That was the Laurel Gang and Scott was an integral part of that gang!!!

I can remember many summer nights riding bikes, swimming in the pool, playing "Jason" (our version of release) and just being silly kids. When Butch emailed me about Scott, I was crushed. I just felt that this could not happen to anyone in our group--we were the golden ones....the ones who were still young and innocent--even though I knew that time had passed and we had all moved on....and grew up.

I want you all to know that I have no words for your loss. I cannot imagine it. I do pray and think of you all often.

Kris, I know you don't know me, but please know that I am praying for you and your girls. Most people say that to have the love of a lifetime is the most precious gifts you can ever have. I pray that you have enough love from Scott to last your lifetime....and your girls will know their father--through your memories and your stories.

Even though time to continues to pass and life moves on, please know that Scott will continue to live on in the memories of all of us....with all the goodness and love he brought to everyone and everything he touched.

Dear Alexander Family,

I am deeply sorry for your loss. I can not even imagine. When I heard the news I was in shock. What a good kid. I always enjoyed playing soccer with Nogger and hearing how he was doing even after Shaler. My heart goes out to you all. God Bless

To The Alexander Family,
I am deeply sorry to hear about the current event. Scott was my soccer coach for 2 years. Within those 2 years, he set me up for success. He was a great guy, always there to help us out whenever we needed him. I would never forget what he said to me right before i decided to join the Marines, "whichever road you decide to take in your life, stick with it and never give up." Even being over in Iraq, Scott would email me once a week just to see how i was doing. He was almost like a dad to me. He always had a positive mind set no matter what the situation may be. I will miss Scott as a coach, a friend, and a person I can count on. My prayers will be with you, Semper Fi

Kris, Sammi, and the Alexander family,

I taught at Magruder High during the 2004-2005 school year. Having been a high school soccer coach at my previous job in Alabama, I wanted to get involved with the soccer program at MHS. I showed up at a practice at the beginning of the 04 season and introduced myself, not knowing how I would be received since I was a total stranger. After I introduced myself to Scott and talked a bit, he asked me to serve as an assistant on his staff. I eagerly accepted his offer. You can't imagine how welcome Scott and the team made me feel. We became great friends and had a wonderful year together. His leadership and dedication was amazing.

I will always be grateful to Scott and the MHS soccer family for that wonderful year. Unfortunately, an illness prevented me from returning to MHS the following year but Scott had already told me he wanted me to be a part of his staff again. I regret that I was unable to be there.

The notes here are from all over the country. What a great testament to the number of lives Scott touched in such a positive way!

Kris, Sammi, and the Alexander family, I share your loss and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Scott and I grew apart when I left Pittsburgh, but I always had fond memory of our time together as pledge brothers.

He convinced me to stick it out when I wanted to quit. His humor and kindness makes it one of his greatest attributes.

He will truly be missed!

Dear Kris, Sammy and Mr. & Mrs. Alexander,

Mr. & Mrs. Alexander you must have been amazing parents, because you certainly raised an AMAZING SON. Your son was my son's mentor, coach & friend. He was our good friend. There wasn't an exchange, phone call, email, anything that wasn't all positive and always left us smiling. He touched so many lives with his positive life force. I couldn't have asked for a better influence on our son as he entered his high school years.

Kris, you were always so generous and patient - always sharing your husband and your daughter's daddy with us. The soccer program at MHS will never be the same without him. I still can't quite imagine not driving to your house the day before paperwork is due and laughing with Scott how I always push it, but he never did with me, he always trusted I would have it for him - and because he trusted me, I somehow always did manage it! Thats how Scott operated, he didn't intimidate and threaten, he just set the bar and had faith you could reach it, and think how many students, players, friends, everyone he touched - reached and achieved.

We are all the better for having known Scott Alexander.

God Bless you all and Sammi and baby!

Words can't express how much he will be missed!

To the Alexander Family:

I will always remember Scott from our Laurel Dr home. As former next door neighbors, I have fond memories of the (3) Alexander children who all grew up to be outstanding adults. I used to refer to Scott as the "Golden Boy"..successful in everything he pursued. I remember seeing him with a soccer ball ALL the time!

George & Jeannette, you raised a wonderful son and I am so sorry for your loss. You can be proud of all he accomplished and how much he was admired by everyone who knew him. That is a testimony to you as his parents.

I will continue to pray for the Lord to give all of you strength during such a difficult time.

A smile, the laugh, and the feeling that life is a joyous time to be enjoyed every day...that's what i'll remember about Scott. He touched so many lives with so much love that we are all better people in life because of Scott.

May God watch over all of you during this difficult time. You are all in my thoughts!

My sincerest condolences go out to you all. I was a teammate with Scott at Pitt and I remember a warm, very likeable guy who always had a smile on his face. I' am glad to have read how many individual lives he has touched in a positive way. May you seek the comfort of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, our rock, our comfort,during this most difficult time.

Dear Kris and the Alexander Family
Although Scott’s life was cut premature, it is evident from all that I have heard that he lived it to the fullest. Most people don’t find their “passion” in life, but evidently Scott did.- his wife, his family, his team. Please accept my deepest condolences. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I will never forget growing up with him at Susany‘s house.
With Love

Kris and the Alexander Family:

I was shocked and saddened to hear about Scott. Scott and I have been friends for more than 25 years. I first met Scott when we were 9 on the soccer field. We played for "The Clash", Beadling, and high school together. He was a great friend on and off the field.... Please know that he will be deeply missed and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Kris and Family,
My deepest sympathy for your loss. I never know what to say at a time like this. Scott always had encouraging words for me, but I can't seem to find my own for you. I feel proud to have known him during our short time at Shaler High.

Dear Kris, Sami, Mr. & Mrs. Alexander, Butch & Laura,
Just as many other posts reveal, I recall so many fond memories of Scott. He was my locker-partner in school from 7th grade until our senior year; he also developed a crush and began dating one of my best friends, Kris; we all spent time together at soccer games, homecoming, prom, etc. Most of us were amazed at the bond that Scott and Kris seemed to share. They were truly meant to be together, and I know they shared a blessed life as husband and wife. Scott was a generous and thoughtful soul who truly cared how others felt. His laughter and joy will be missed by so many.
With deepest sympathy,

To the Alexander family and Kris and Samantha, I send my prayers of support to you during this time of loss. I hold good memories of Scott both through years of playing soccer together, and also years of going through the same confirmation class at St. Pauls. Scott always set a standard for us all to live up to on the soccer field. Not only was he a talented player, but he was a true leader. His memory is one that will be never forgotten. God bless all of his family.

Dear Kris, Sami and Family,

I worked across the hall from Scott, and he was my lunch buddy at Drew ES for the past 8 years. I referred to him as my little brother. We teased each other constantly. He was always sharing stories about his terrific soccer players, sports, his Pittsburgh buddies, his parents, and mostly, about Kris and Sami. We all looked forward to seeing Scott's new photos on our school's email after any Alexander family event. Scott simply loved life, and brought much laughter and many smiles to our school staff.

I, along with everyone who ever felt his energy, will miss him terribly. May your memories of Scott give you strength.

Sincerely,

Greg McKay

Dear Alexander family,
I'm very sorry about your loss. Scott was a wonderful coach and friend. As a coach, he was a positive influence on and off the field. He was very much a players coach who cared about winning only because of the satisfaction his players would get out of it. He worked extremely hard for any player who wanted to play in college and I know alot of us wouldn't have gotten to play in college if it wasn't for Coach Scott. Scott was also a great friend who always seemed more excited for what you had accomplished than you were for yourself. I feel fortunate to have had a coach and friend like Scott. He will be missed.

Dear Alexander family,
It has been years since we all grew up and left the neighborhood. Yet I am sure that all of us know deep down that we had the most special to grow up. There was always something to do somewhere. Football games, bike rides, pool parties, movies, walks, talks, cold days and warm summer nights. And of course roller skating parties...who could forget? I truly feel blessed to have been a part of it all. So many great times. So many great people.
Now, the loss of one of us has struck a sorrow that can't be measured. I know that we all are hurting. Scott was always such a happy and kind person. It is quite evident his spirit has touched many people's lives. I am glad to have been one. On behalf of my family and as a member of the Laurel Drive Gang I wish to extend my condolences to your family. My prayers are with you as we all try to understand God's plan.

Dear George & Family,
We are so sorry to hear of Scott's passing. We can remember when my brother so looked up to "Nogs" when he was younger & couldn't wait to play on the high school team just like "Nogger." We remember playing against him in the "Turkey Bowl" on Thanksgiving. What a kind and genuine man for all of his life. Imagine what all of you are going through, none of us can. Answers are unavailable to the questions you have, but try to find some comfort in all that Scott has done and will continue to do from above for all the people, especially his family, that he cared about, touched, or loved with all that he was. Our deepest sympathies are with all of you! But, the world is a better place to have had Scott "Nogger" Alexander a part of it, no matter the length of his time here. George, if you need anything...please let us know.
Sincerely,
Sapsara Family

Dear Alexander family,
I had the privilege of being coached by Scott Alexander my sophomore year at Blake HS. He was a truly a special man who was passionate about soccer. He was a great coach who had a connection with all the players. He even gave me a nick name that people still call me to this day five years later. Even though we didn't win any games that season he helped start a program by giving us the tools we needed to become more successful in future seasons. I will always cherish the lessons that he taught me on and off the field. He will be truly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family through this difficult time.

Dear Alexander Family,
I was deeply sadden to hear of Scott's death. I knew Scott as "Nogger" when he played soccer at Shaler High School with my husband, Gene, as his coach. Scott had a special place in my husband's heart. There were many fond memories of practices, games, and running the lake at North Park where Gene and Scott often raced to the finished. Gene was also very proud of all Scott's accomplishments as a coach and wished he could have attended some of his games.
Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Scott was really one of the good guys.

March 30, 2007

Dear Alexander Family,

As the young, impressionable son of the coach, I watched Scott and his teammates from the sideline every home night. My father, Gene, had nicknames for everyone, and Nogger as Scott was named was one of my favorites (in name and player). I'll never forget one night during the break between the third and fourth quarter of an important game, Scott came up to me and saw how nervous and worried I was about the outcome. He looked at me and said, "Don't worry John, we're going to win this one. I promise." I honestly don't remember if Shaler won or not. I don't even remember who we played that night, but I'll never forget Scott and the fact that he always tried to make that young, impressionable coach's son feel like one of the team. My father was always immensely proud of him. My wife Rachael and I are so sorry for your loss.
