I only knew Alex for one short year. He was definitely someone who could light up a room with his sense of humor. I will truly miss him, his jokes, and our frequent conversations that we had on a regular basis. You will always be in my thoughts bud!

Alex was a strong willed and hard worker. He never backed down from a challenge. He will be, and is, missed by his co-workers. Our deepest condolences to all is family and extended family who I am sure will miss him dearly. Rest in peace Buddy
