Alex Pancheri

Such a fantastic man! The best smile and laugh!

I will miss seeing Alex at church.

There are not words to adequately express the profound impact "Coach" Alex had on myself (and three siblings) via the Southwest YMCA swim team. His smile and deep belly laughs were infectious. He had one of the best mustaches (ever!!!!). He had an uncanny way of making You believe Yourself and motivating You to be the best version of Yourself both in and out of the pool.

It was beautiful to read the below tribute -- I can only imagine how many young peoples lives he impacted over...

I had Mr Pancheri for orchestra all 4 yrs in my high school days (PHS class of 89). He was always a cheerful, respectable man and an excellent teacher with an abundance of patience. He was the only teacher that has been locked in my memory which only means he made a difference in my life. It is with great sorrow to hear that he has passed but it’s great to read that he lived a fulfilled life in the walk with Christ. My condolences to his wife, children and family.

Love to all of you at this difficult time .... Steven Packard Jr., and Katrina

What a beautiful service. So glad it was streamed, since out of an abundance of caution I was able to be with you in spirit. Peace be with you.

My wife and I had the honor of knowing Alex for many years thanks to Chris and Jane. We are honored to have shared the wonderful memories with Alex at the Thanksgiving Holiday parades in downtown Houston, the airshows at Ellington Field and most recently at Chris's birthday party this month. May Alex fly high into Heaven with the Blue Angels as his escort. He will be missed!

Alex had an infectious personality and just made you smile when you were with him... he didn’t even mind me wrapping his house with toilet paper,lol! He would just try to catch us and laugh. He will be sorely missed!

I have always adored the storyteller family I have and sitting around a table with Alex and my brothers to here stories of Nana and Daddy and my Aunt Lillian.

I remember how proud I was to be able to run down to the orchestra pit at a show and see my cousin among the talented musicians there.

I also remember how much I hated it when he would pinch me from under the water in the swimming pool when I was little!

Karen, Catherine, Chris and Lauren I am so...
