Thought about the times meeting at Tel-Wink for our monthly get together, the small soft laugh, always thinking tomorrow will be better than today. Gods speed Alex! Prayers to you and your family.

On behalf of the Lucadou family we send our heartfelt condolences to the beautiful Rueda family.
Alex will be dearly missed and forever loved by our family. Although a man of few words, he was a sweet and gentle soul. We will forever remember the compassion and love he showed his older sister, (our mother) Clara Lucadou. She often spoke of his kindness towards her and her deep love for him.
We know Alex's kindness extended to so many others because that was his nature.
Our prayers for strength and peace are lifted up for each of his sons and daughters. Our love you already have.
You were truly blessed with such a wonderful earthly father, may you now find comfort, at this difficult time, in the presence of your Heavenly Father.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world (Alex), that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

Please except my deepest condolences Alex was a good friend and a great guy all around. I enjoyed his company on the many rides that we were on. May he rest in peace.

To the Rueda Family,
Alex was a wonderful and kind man to the Garza family! He was one of my dad's (Henry M. Garza) best friends. He was one of the first golf buddies Dad played with. Alex left us with many GREAT memories during our trail riding days and after the trail riding days. I will cherish those memories always.
I send my condolences and God bless the Rueda family during this time.
