I remember speaking with Alex every day at school. We weren't best friends but definitely good friends. I remember being in class and him having his binder with photos decorated all over it. Pictures of his family and one of a little girl I'm sure he said she was his sister. He was talking about her and how much he cares for her and loves her. I remember a few days before he passed we were in class together and I was having a bad day. He called me and said watch this doing something to give me a smile. I never knew he was taking mma classes I wish I knew because I'm sure we would have done it together. I'm 21 have a family and in the military. Every other day alex is in my mind and I think of the things he would have achieved by now. To his family I'm very sorry for your loss and I know Alex loved you guys. I hope everyone of you are doing well.

To our beautiful Alex,
It has taken me three years after you leaving this Earth to be able to write my goodbye I just felt as though writing a goodbye made this all real and final. Alex you have to know that you were the light in our home, the glue that held our blended family together. Losing you has changed our family Dynamics forever. There is such a hole in our hearts and living without you for the last 3 years has solidified that we will never be who we were before you left for Heaven. Today we have accepted the fact that we are a different normal. Alex we want you to know WE LOVE YOU SON! We think of you EVERYDAY! I can't imagine what you are seeing today, the beauty. I pray that you can still see us and how your dad, the kids and I celebrate who you are DAILY! We love you son, please wait for us. Fly with Jesus my angel. Mommy will see you in awhile

Mi sincera simpatía en estos difíciles momentos. Jesus comparó la muerte a un descanso o sueño profundo del que solo Dios nos puede despertar; por eso dijo en Juan 11:11: "Nuestro amigo Lázaro está descansando, pero yo me voy allá para "despertarlo" Por eso, con toda razón dijo en Juan 11:25: "Yo soy la resurrección y la vida. El que ejerce fe en mí, aunque muera, volverá a vivir". EA

Alex,

We miss you and we love you. The world has gotten darker with your passing, but as we keep you alive in our hearts you'll never leave us. Your smile and the memory of the great guy that you were, motivates us to be a shining light in this dimming world.

One day soon we'll all be reunited in paradise with Jesus our Lord and Savior.

Love ya dude.
