Alexander "Alex" Smolecki, age 20, passed away on February 25, 2025.
In Loving Memory of Alex Smolecki, who tragically passed away on February 25th, 2025.
With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Alex, a beloved son, grandson, brother, godfather, and boyfriend.
Alex was a passionate swimmer, who found joy and purpose in the water, always pushing himself and inspiring those around him. He was an avid traveler and hiker, drawn to new places and the beauty of the outdoors. Whether in the pool, on the trail, or exploring the world, he embraced every challenge with energy and determination.
Beyond his adventures, Alex was kind and loyal, always ready with a smile and words of encouragement. Though his time with us was short, his impact will be felt forever.
Alex is survived by his parents Bozena Smolecka and Stanislaw Smolecki, siblings Magdalena (Adam) Maslach and Sebastian Smolecki, goddaughter Oliwia Maslach, grandparents Wladyslawa and the late Stanislaw Smolecki and Katarzyna and the late Michal Nawiesniak, godfather Rene Jancek and girlfriend Julia Urbas. He is also survived by many cousins, aunts, uncles, and relatives, and he will be truly missed by many friends and teammates.
Though he left us too soon, we will carry his adventurous spirit and loving heart with us forever.
