I was shocked and deeply saddened to learn of JTs passing. I warched him and Michelle grow up in the '90s when I worked with their mom Cindi, who became a dear and treasured friend. and remains near to my heart.
Cindi, I can only wish that you, Jim. and Michelle can carry the joyful memories of JT forward and be. proud of what a good son and brother he was. May God bless the Alvey family.

Dearest JT,
You were and are loved more than you probably ever even realized. You had one of the most beautiful, charming, kind souls any of us have ever known. The happy memories you left us with will be treasured forever. I will miss your late night messages about music and tv shows that you thought Ariana and Alani would enjoy. I will always think about your plans to visit and wonder what adventures we might have had. I will always cherish our childhood moments at the Farm/Hawley Manor, Ocean City, DC and Savannah. We love and miss you Cousin.
To my Uncle Jim(my) Aunt Cyndi and my Cousin Michelle. It's a struggle to find the right words to say. My heart hurts for you and we all wish we could make it better, make the dream end and all wake up. I wish more than anything that I could. JT and I spoke often about how lucky we are to have the family we have and I know he felt the love. We are here for you. We love you so incredibly much, Tina Ariana Alani and Jason

Jim,
Sincere condolences to you, Cindy and Michelle. Matthew told me about your loss and we reminisced about Matthew and JT doing the King of the Mill skit at OMHS. JT was a great guy and I´m so sorry he´s gone.

My heart aches for the entire Alvey family. I´ve been friends with Jim since JT was a toddler. I know from experience that words don´t have much effect on the healing process. But Jim please take some comfort in knowing you have friends and family thinking of you and are just a phone call away. My sincere condolences.
