Gaus, Alexander, "Alex", 34, baptized into the hope of Christ's resurrection, Friday, January 21, 2022.
It is with profound sadness that Elmar and Karen Gaus announce the passing of their dearly, beloved son, Alex Gaus. Brother of Lisa (Gaus) Mack, husband, Brandon. Loving uncle to Jacob, Olivia and Lucas. Dear grandson of Doris Dooley and the late Thomas Dooley. Alex will forever be lovingly remembered by his many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
Alex was born and raised in Chesterfield, Missouri. He was honest, generous, hard-working, athletic and self-motivated. He never gave up on accomplishing his dreams. He completed his education with a college degree in the arts in general studies. When Alex wasn't working he could be found either on the golf course or playing basketball or soccer on several different teams he was a member of.
Alex will be remembered for the value he placed on his Catholic faith, the generosity he showed to others, and the love he had for his family and friends. The happy memories we have of him will be cherished and he will remain forever in our hearts with love.
If you would like to, in memory of Alex, perform an act of kindness in his honor.
Rest in Peace Alex.
We love you.

Our son was friends with Alex in grade school at Ascension. He was a nice kid, we really enjoyed him. So sorry for your loss, Karen and Elmar. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Alex was a kind and hilarious friend to have on your side! I’ll never forget our neighborhood adventures jumping on our trampoline and taking hikes to the Subway near by. It’s hard to believe those ascension days were so long ago. You’ll be missed, Alex. Gone too soon.

I haven’t seen you in recent years, but you were always a great friend. One of the most competitive people I had the pleasure of meeting. We had some great times together. You will be missed.
