My deepest condolences to your family. It's not fair that death takes away our loved one. May the Almighty God who "binds up the brokenhearted" and "comforts all who mourn" sustain your family during this challenging time (Isaiah 61:1, 2).

Dearest Lexi,
Thank you for selflessly dedicating yourself to our freedom. Thank you for serving our country. There is nothing the American people could ever do to repay you for your service. You are an inspiration to us all and the finest HERO and a true Patriot! Our country is beyond grateful for the great sacrifice you made to protect our freedoms. Thank you. You will never be forgotten but sorely missed. God bless you, your family and God Bless America.

"And the king was much moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept: and as he went, thus he said, 'O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! would God I had died for thee, O Absalom, my son, my son!'"

"I think that as life is action and passion, it is required of a man that he should share the action and passion of his time at peril of being judged not to have lived. The generation that carried on the war has been set aside by its experience. Through our great good fortune, in our youth our hearts were touched with fire. It was given to us to learn at the outset that life is a profound and passionate thing."
Oliver Wendell Holmes. Memorial Day 1884

Alexi guided me at a key point in my life/career and was nothing but responsive and encouraging. A mentor I work to emulate everyday.

I graduated from Bates with Alexi and knew him well in those days. He was an exceptional man, before I knew what one was. I am sure he served his country well, and his family and loved ones should be proud.

"We few, we happy few, we band of brothers
For he today that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother.
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap while any speak
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day." William Shakespeare Henry V From his father.
