I loved Alex so much!!!! He was so energetic, and full of Life. I think about him everyday... He absolutely Loved his music, and his session with his friends freestyling lyrics with one another, & cutting jokes. He was always smiles, and just a joy to be around.. As long as I'm alive in this world, Alex will never be forgotten! I will forever remember, and celebrate the life of Alex Dansby from here on out. It took me a very long time to accept, and grieve the loss of Alex. I'm not completely convinced that I have, but I can now, at least smile when a song comes on that reminds me of him, or when a memory pops up in my mind, I can feel happiness instead of sadness. I can't speak for everyone that was in Alex's life, but I know from my own feelings for him and several others, He will continued to be loved, and missed everyday. My condolences to his Parents, and the rest of his Family. You definitely had a wonderful, loving, and kind Man that you lost way to soon. I'm so very sorry. It was, and still is an honor for me to have known Alex, and I truly believe that one day, God will allow me to see him again. Much love & respect Alex, Miss you so much! Rip My Dear Friend.

Alex was one of my few closest friends I've made since I moved down here, he never failed to make me laugh. There was a never dull moment with us. It hurts the most finding a true friend, someone who's always there, and god taking them away that quick. My deepest condolences go out to his family. He sure is missed. I can't go anywhere without a memory popping up. This has been so unreal to me. Keep waiting for a text to come thru saying got em. Or hear him literally scratching at my door, because he didn't wanna be disrespectful and wake everyone up. Lol. We were supposed to make plans for our birthdays, now we'll be saying our final bye I love ya.
