Alex A. Deines, 52, of Billings, died Nov. 9, 2011, of natural causes.

Alex enjoyed his career as a Chef at the Renaisance Hotel, traveling to Washington, Florida and Colorado. He sustained an injury and returned to his home in Montana. Alex spent his time helping others, painting, and volunteer work in the community. He was nominated Leader of the Year for Montana's Center of Disabilities in 2006. Alex's kindness and big heart will be missed greatly.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Alex H. Deines Jr. and Johanna F. Deines.

He is survived by Steven and Cathy Deines of Billings; Vickie and Bill McCormick of Meridian, Idaho; Alden and Patty Deines of Post Falls, Idaho; and nieces and nephews.
