Alexander Curry

This is specifically to Dorothy Curry, Alex's grandmother. It has been way too long for me to remember all I wish I could, but I recognized Alex in his recent picture. That's something! Having lost a child, I know what you now have to carry. I wish you peace. I am so sorry.

We are very sad and sorry to hear of Alex's passing and will miss his neighborly waves and smiling face.

Neighbors, Carl and Judy

When I see this photo, I think of my childhood. I think this was taken at one of the "kids bash" parties we had at our house one summer. I spent many hours with Alex growing up, by way of my older brother. I will always remember his laugh, his smile, and good natured spirit. Alex was a force of nature and I will always be grateful for the memories I have of him, and the joy and levity he brought into our lives.

Heartfelt sympathy and caring thoughts for all of you.

Our heartfelt sympathies go out to family and friends of Alex. We are sending prayers for peace and comfort to all of you during this difficult time.

Regret is an awful thing. It's so permanent. Alex was my neighbor across the street. Being a private person, I don't seek out relationships and friends. I actually waited years before we finally had Alex and Amanda over for a small house party.

When I finally met Alex, years after he moved in, I was taken back by how kindred our spirits were. He was a science geek like me and loved to cook. He had huge interest in clean gardening. He loved the land and lake area as I do. I just couldn't believe it. We immediately started sprouting so many ideas and things we "needed to do." We had to do ribs and steaks. Dehydrate pretty much anything and everything. Make pasta. Desserts. Make vinegar. Set up a garden space. What a fantastic, fantastic list. All that enthusiasm. Now all gone.

This guy was across the street from me for years. Years. I am left with such a deep sense of loss and regret. Why didn't I make more time for these projects? Why did I wait? The regret lays heavy on me.

I'm left compelled to repeat the age-old cliché: Don't wait. Regret is a daily reminder - don't wait.

Buddy, I miss you.

To Alex's family and loved ones: I am a neighbor who knew of Alex for years before I actually got know him and I am deeply sorry our friendship was cut short. How could this guy who lived across the street have so many interests as my husband Ted and I? It felt magical to get to know him . Alex gave us an energy and excitement for future projects and interests. This spirit we will keep in our hearts. He made us laugh. We was a cool guy. Now we have to say goodby. I am a better person for knowing him a short time. We are here for you Amanda when you need us.

SCU `12 here, I don´t really remember taking any classes with Alex, but I know he has left a notable legacy as a Bronco and beyond. I send my condolences to his wife, family, and friends.

Alex was one of the people that hired me at SVG. I had the honor of working closely with him for many years (which included a few memorable happy hours), and we stayed in touch after we were no longer co-workers. We recently had a great conversation about our career goals and our time working together. His words of encouragement were meaningful then and even more so now. I cannot accurately describe how much I learned from Alex, both personally and professionally. I owe a lot to him. His impact will be lasting on me and many, many others.

Sending my love to all of you. I am so sorry for your loss.

As a close family friend and his middle school lacrosse coach, I have many found memories of Alex. Looking back at Alex´s life, what stands out for me is his raw determination and hard work. He was very bright, creative and relentless. It didn´t matter if it was the classroom, his career, his many hobbies or the sports field, Alex dove into each new project and did the work. Long hours, sweat, failure...it was all part of the journey and challenge for Alex.

When Alex took his first coding job he reached out to me. I recall his enthusiasm and thirst for knowledge. He asked me a lot of questions, but it had been a number of years since I had done any actual programming and I don´t believe I was much help. He was working in Python and I had written a few short scripts in the past, but it was clear he knew way more than I did. I remember leaving the call and telling myself "Alex will crush Phyton."

Today we are quick to take a short cut, find an app or hire the tough stuff out. Alex actually did the hard work and figured it out and that´s what I´ll remember.

Alex, You were my first true friend. Even though we lost touch over the past several years I will always cherish the memories I had with you and our families. From being dragged down double blacks with our dads in Fernie to being attacked by wasp on a camping trip in Colorado. You were one the funniest guys I knew. You were my original ski partner and a true friend. We will all miss you.

Alex, I love you man. Our sixteen years of friendship starting in freshman Physics classes are some of my favorite memories. I will always be grateful for the opportunity you gave me, and continue to share as we grew our business. You were a true friend, brother, and partner through and through. I feel like I didn't tell you enough, but I hope you know how much I appreciate you. Your work ethic and perpetual drive to grow inspired me on so many levels. "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." Thank you for being patient when I was impatient, for being yourself always, and for being willing to help with anything anytime. See you on the other side, Coop.

Alex, thank you for filling my memory bank with your life´s stories of boundless curiosity, wittiness, sweet love for all, and a gift for explaining complex ideas so I could begin to grasp them.

Your invitation to introduce me to your new home in the woods is a treasure I hold. dot

Your heartfelt words and stories have been a source of immeasurable comfort during this difficult time. Each memory you've shared has illuminated another facet of his life, reminding us of the many lives Alex touched and the joy he brought to this world. These shared memories have become precious gifts that I will treasure forever.

As singer- songwriter Stephen Wilson Jr. so beautifully expresses in his song (Grief is Only Love), "Grief is only love with no place to go." This profound truth resonates deeply with me. The pain we feel is testament to the depth of our love-love that continues to flow even when the person we cherish is no longer with us. Your willingness to share your memories has given that love somewhere meaningful to go, allowing it to be witnessed and honored by all who read your words.

To those who have honored Alex's memory by planting trees in his name, your tribute could not be more fitting for a soul so deeply connected to the earth. As a farmer and beekeeper, Alex poured his heart into nurturing the land, understanding the delicate balance of our ecosystem. These trees you've planted will grow as living extensions of his environmental stewardship, providing homes for the pollinators he cherished, enriching the soil he respected, and continuing the cycle of life he so deeply understood and valued. In many ways, these saplings mirror his own gentle strength and quiet persistence-reaching ever upward while remaining firmly rooted in what matters most.

Though he is no longer with us physically, your collective memories ensure that his spirit lives.

I will miss my beautiful son every single day.

With deepest gratitude,
Doug Curry

This is a wonderful tribute to Alex, a truly unforgettable person. I had the privilege of working with him for many years, and the connection we shared was something special, something I've struggled to fully articulate even to myself. There was a deep understanding and a shared wavelength in our work and our humor. He was a brilliant mind and a kind soul. Alex, you will be profoundly missed. My deepest condolences to his family and Amanda.

Alex was such a patient and kind young man. He volunteered in my very busy and at times chaotic Art Room with his helpful heart. My heart aches for his entire family and loved ones. I send you my deepest love for your family.

I had the privilege of working with Alex for the last several years at ICF and SemanticBits. I´ll remember Alex´s sense of humor, his intellectual curiosity, but most of all, his positive attitude that made everyone around him feel welcomed and at ease.

In a fully remote job, it can be easy to focus on the work at the expense of connecting with coworkers you´ve never met in person. Alex didn´t do that - His personality shined through. I enjoyed his corny jokes at the end of standup or chatting with him about vacation plans.

I only got to know a bit about Alex´s life outside of work and reading his memorial, I´m amazed but not surprised by what a full life it was. Reading about Alex´s farming life and love of nature inspired me to take Wednesday to get outdoors and start our garden.

I offer my deepest condolences to his family and friends. We will miss you Alex.

I´m very sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of working closely with Alex for a few years. Alex is one of the smartest people I´ve known. He was always encouraging, inspiring, and fun to work with. It was easy to see how much Alex cared for those around him.

Beautifully written obit for one who was clearly a beautiful & amazing person. My heart going out to you all.

I worked with Alex at ICF and, before that, at Semantic Bits. I was assigned to him as a supervisor, although I did not have any recent programming experience. The first thing that struck me was how over-qualified he appeared to be for the position which we hired him into. He told me he was "sort of like a CTO" at his last job, and now I see that he was even more than that. It was a pretty big deal venturing out into the business world with some colleagues from college, and I´m sure he wore many "hats" during that phase of his career.
After we got to know one another better, I was struck by how well-rounded Alex was in life experiences, in general. We chatted about going to see the northern lights sometime "if I was ever in northern Michigan". I mentioned a desire to visit Iceland to see them, as well as the many other exciting things that country has to offer. We also shared experiences over losing our dogs to cancer and other ailments, as I also lost two dogs in a matter of two and a half years. He never forgot his Kansas City roots, and he continued a lifelong Chiefs fan. He was also very much a giver, and he wanted to use his talents wherever they were needed. He was loaned out to another team at ICF for a period and thrived there, but he was very happy to return to his original team to prepare for our big launch.
He will definitely be missed. He was one of a kind.

Sending love from California. I went to Santa Clara University with Curry and had the honor and adventure of living with him in Sunshine house in 2012. What an awesome dude who was always so full of energy and excitement. I'm honored to know him and to have gotten to spend so much time with him during a more carefree chapter of Life. My regards to all of Alex's friends and family that I did not get the chance to meet.

What a fitting and beautiful photo of Alex, that easy smile. I had the pleasure of working with him at ICF-he was innovative, generous with his knowledge, and always willing to help and brainstorm. It was a joy to get to know him over the years, and he will be deeply missed by our team. My sincere condolences to all who loved him. Please know he was truly valued and made a meaningful impact. Rest easy, my friend.

Such a smart and friendly guy. Picking up new knowledge or working on complex tasks was always a breeze for him. He was a pleasure to work with and will be missed.

Alex had one of the biggest smiles I´ve ever seen. Love to his family and friends.

Sending everyone a giant hug and much love
RIP Alex.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

RIP Alex, you were such a sweetheart. Your smile and spark lives on in your family´s hearts. Sending y´all lots of hugs.
