Alex and I were friends throughout highschool he was dating one of my friends at the time & he drove us EVERYWHERE, we were literally always doing something fun and adventurous. He was so kind hearted, and hilarious, it was always good vibes around him. We hung out almost everyday that year, its been so long since weve spoken but god bless you Alex, sending my condolences to your family and friends at this moment of grief. I pray for all of you to find the strength within yourselves during this difficult time.
