Our thoughts are with you all at a time of such devastating loss.
Alasdair was a such a kind soul and had become an incredibly accomplished young man. Such a heartbreaking loss.
With love, The Ferridge family (ex Hilden Grange)

R.I.P. Alasdair.
Matt and I have very fond memories of your childhood and schooling at Hilden Grange and I am so proud to hear of your achievements and what a fine young man you became but so devastated to hear of your parting.
May the angels spread their wings and enfold you.

In loving memory of Alasdair Russell - a beautiful soul gone far too soon.
We only knew you a short time, but we will never forget the day you came into the agency. When Ricardo scouted you and brought you into the office, we all agreed to sign you at first sight! You were handsome, charismatic, fearless, and full of spunk. You reminded us of a little Hugh Grant with your charming demeanor. You always made us laugh whenever David would ask you to say I'm Bond, James Bond, in your cute British accent!
As a college freshmen, your life was abundantly busy with classes, fraternity events, and modeling. You managed to balance it all. We had always thought you were wise beyond your years. You were so organized and so ambitious. You never complained once about any test shoot, casting, or job we sent you on.
We believe your tenacity for life and adventure is what drew us all to you. You were always positive and spontaneous which transcended into your modeling career. You were booked for the Esprit Campaign, GQ Magazine, and shot the GAP commercial with Naomi Campbell all in less than a year! Every time you got a booking, you would thank us all and tell us how much you appreciated us as your agents. Even on the last day we spoke to you, you said Thank you you mean so much to me! We hope you know how loved and revered you were & still are. Your fearlessness towards life was so inspiring. We know your latest goal was to climb Mount Everest and that somewhere you are trekking that mountain with that signature playful grin on your face.
We will miss you so much Alasdair. You are irreplaceable and someone we will hold dear to our hearts forever.
Rest In Peace, our dear friend,
David, Ricardo, Bre, Leslie

Rest in Peace Alasdair. Even though we drifted apart after our time in summer school, I will never forget the two weeks we spent together in Oxford! I wish we had seen more of each other over the last couple of years because I can tell you for a fact - ORA would not have been the same without you! You were an incredible human being who could find positives in any situation. My thoughts are with your family. You will be missed!
