Alex was one of a kind, an unforhettable young m an. To think all of the things that he missed out on, all of his potential gone. SInce I don't know if he is in a better place I can only hope that he is. I loved him very much, he was like a brother to me, he was always there. He was the closest person to me. He managed his way into my heart and forever will he live there. ALex I hope that you don't feel any pain and that you are happy. I love you.

Well, I don't know where to begin... I remember the first day i met Alex.. it was in the seventh grade he was in my advisory class.. he was one the smartest kids i knew then.. still is one in my book... he always knew what to say to make people laugh or to break the silence in a quiet room. There was never one moment did he not know what to say, and the thing that still surprises me... is how learned so much contained so much, in just one day n still had time for a secret life to himself... just you n him alone.. you could be in a whole different universe n not even notice other life around you.. he was really a great kid...

Alex was one of the most amazing guys I had ever met. I know that when I met him in 7th grade, we didn't like each other, and I know that I used to chase him around with a sharp object. But, those are times I wont forget. We both grew out of that, and became friends. I remember all the times seeing him in English. He was a crazy guy, but always made people laugh. He was never afraid to do things. I remember once he tried to walk on a tall fence, like our friend had, but he couldnt and fell down pretty hard, and still laughed. Theres no words to describe Alex. I loved him so much, and Im glad he is in a better place.

Alex was one my best friends in the world. He and I grew up together, laughed together, were there for each other through thick and thin. When we were little we attened the same elementary school together and played on the same soccer team as little kids. I knew him for who he was and he was the coolest guy in the world. Alex will still live on in those who knew him. We will miss you dearly Alex.

Alex was probably the only guy friend that I had that I knew the longest. He was such a great friend and anyone would have been lucky to have him. You could always talk to him and if you ever needed help or just needed someone to listen he was always there. He thought of others before himself. I know he did because whenever I was sad he would always do something to make me smile, even if it was him making himself look dumb.. although there were a lot of moments we looked stupid together and those were the greatest but he would always have a smile on his face... either that or he was sleeping in Geometry which those are different stories that I will never forget! I know that he is in a better place but I truely miss him as I also know a lot of other people miss him too. His family is in my thoughts and prayers and Alex... you are in my heart forever because I dont think anyone who knew you could ever forget you. I know that every minute of everyday I will think about you. But you arent gone to me you are just in a better place waiting. I Love You so much and you better never forget that I dont care where you are I will ALWAYS love you more and more everyday.
