It's hard to put into words a single, or even many memories because the Hoffman family is a large piece of my growing up. What I can say is that I don't remember Alex without Jackie Brown (as Blake and I would say). It was incredible to have a back row seat at watching true love grow. What a beautiful life, love, and family you built.

We could not have asked for better friends to our children, Erica and Adam, than Alex and Jaclyn. Alex, a special young man with a beautiful family, is gone to soon. Alex was a gift to all humans and creatures in his life.
Wishing peace to the family.

I've known Alex for a very long time since he was a good friend to my son Carson. They grew up together on Long Beach Island and stayed friends. Alex became our neighbor in Warren Grove (small world). He became a very good friend to my husband George since we both now are farm owners. I've gotten to know Jackie, Kylie and Connor over the years. I cannot say enough about Alex and what a gentle soul and animal lover he was. I will never forget him and my love goes out to his family. Love you Al.
