I'm sorry Alex. I just found out what happened to you. I'm sorry I missed your service. I'll miss you man... I'll never forget the day I showed you Enya and you hated it - then I caught you listening to it later in the week. You were always so outgoing and ready to participate. I hope we were both wrong about the afterlife so I can see you again. Rest in peace.

January 25, 2015

Our hearts are breaking over the loss of Alex in this world. Alex was a sweet soul who was always ready and willing to lend a hand to others in need. Alex readily joined in with our son Kevin and other friends to come to our rescue during the flood of 2011, in order to save our beloved family camp on Malletts Bay. He always found some way to be of help whenever he came by. Alex was a very kind, thoughtful, witty and intelligent young man who was always a pleasure to have around. We will miss him immensely, will think of him often and whenever beautiful fireworks fill the sky and we look towards heaven, we will remember Alex then as well. Our family would like to extend our most heartfelt condolences to Alex's family and all his friends. The world will not be the same without Alex.

On behalf of the Plankey family we want to send our deepest sympathy for your loss. Alex holds a very special place in all our hearts for his help with replacing my Mom's shingles on her roof. It takes a big heart for someone to extend their help to an elderly in need, and that is what Alex did. We will never forget him, and will pray for him. You can be assured that my late Father has welcomed him into heaven with open arms, and has thanked him for his generosity in helping our Mother. God welcomes you, and shall now provide you with a roof as you begin your next journey. You were a great young man, and will always be remembered as such. Take care good man, and may you be in peace, and loved by all in heaven! The Plankey family.
