Alec Tannenbaum Obituary
October 13, 1990 - August 4, 2020
New Windsor, NY
My sweet, funny, dedicated son, Alec, has gone to heaven unexpectedly. Alec is the son of Heidi and the late Farrell Tannenbaum. He was born in Goshen, NY on October 13, 1990.
Alec was an NFA graduate. Shortly after school he entered into the military and served as a proud Marine for four years, earning a Purple Heart for his service. Alec was an active volunteer member in good standing at the Vails Gate Fire Department in New Windsor, and an active participant in the Wounded Warrior Project. Among his recent accomplishments, Alec became a full time West Point Firefighter, helping once again to save the lives of others.
Alec leaves behind his mom, Heidi; brothers, Greg and Blake; his girlfriend, Meagan; aunts, Shari and Lois; uncle, Angelo; cousin, Brianna; and his many, many cherished friends over the years. He will never be forgotten.
A graveside service will take place at Noon on Sunday, August 9 at Cedar Hill Cemetery. A Celebration of Life will follow at Vails Gate Fire Dept., New Windsor, NY. To send a personal condolence please visit www.Brooksfh.com 845-561-8300.

Alec was such a fine young man. He was a very good friend of my children Chris & Jenn Sloat and always a pleasure to have in my home. He lived and passed heroically and will always shine. Our deepest Sympathy to Heidi and family. Gina & Brian Sloat.

T Baum was one of the funniest, most amazing people I've ever met. I'm a West Point Cadet that was a Firefighter back home and I escape the dreeryness of the academy by hanging out at the West Point Fire Station. T Baum always brought a much needed smile to my face and helped with anything I needed while there such as a ride back to the barracks. I will forever be impressed by his cheerfulness, humor and kindness. Please let me know if I can do anything during this time.
