Alexander Paré Obituary
March 6, 2005 - August 9, 2020
Alex Paré, of Culver, passed away on Aug. 9, at the age of 15 in his family's home.
He was born on March 6, 2005, three days after his mother's birthday, and lived in Culver for the entirety of his life.
Alex was not only an amazing and dedicated basketball player, but also a bright student anticipated to graduate at the top of his class from Culver Community High School. Alex also attended Culver Middle School, shining in everything from the basketball team to mathematics. His favorite pastimes were participating in pick-up basketball games at the park or the gym, playing video games with his family and friends, and listening to 90s rap. Many Culver citizens know him fondly as an animal lover with a successful pet-sitting business. Those close to him will remember him as a goofy, thoughtful, and sweet boy whose sense of humor never failed to make them smile.
Alex is survived by his parents, Beth and Paul, as well as his three sisters: Nicole, Arielle, and Elise. His aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandfather will also miss him dearly.
A public Rosary service for Alex will be held at St. Mary's of the Lake Catholic Church, Culver, on Monday, Aug. 17 at 7 p.m. A Funeral Mass will be held at the Culver Community High School gymnasium on Tuesday, Aug. 18, at 10 a.m. and a reception will follow at the old Railroad Depot. Alex's family is establishing a fund for the improvement of the Culver Park basketball court; those interested and able can contribute at https://gf.me/u/yp4xvr or in person at the funeral mass.
Donations in Alex's honor are also welcome at Saint Mary of the Lake Catholic Church in Culver in lieu of flowers.

I don't have the words to express how sorry I am. I didn't know Alex but I grew up with Beth so I know he must have been a lovely, kind, considerate person. Hugs and prayers aren't enough but I hope Beth and Alex's sisters find some comfort in all the support. Love to you all, Sherri

Such a devastating loss for your family! I'm so sorry for you all. Since i retired several years ago, I never knew Alex, but he sounds like such an enjoyable kid. They say the price of love is grief, yet it never seems fair. I hope you can all lean on each other for support. We're all thinking of you. Take care.

I enjoyed having Alex as one of my students when subbing at the high school. The last memory we shared was trying to land a ping pong ball in a small cup. We shared a lot of laughs that day.
