Alexis Faye Obituary
A flourishing junior at Newton High School, Lexi was a dedicated student and a peer leadership volunteer for the Halsted Middle School. Lexi was the statistician for the boys lacrosse team as well as a leader in efforts to start a girls lacrosse league in Newton. Alexis volunteered as a counselor with Redeemer Lutheran Bible Camp, and worked at Tranquility Farms in Green Township.
A loving daughter, granddaughter, sister, niece, cousin and friend to many, Lexi enjoyed traveling extensively with her family; one of her favorite places being Disney World in Florida. In addition to her recreational travel, she enjoyed music and traveling to follow her favorite singers and their bands. A passionate NY Giants and NJ Devils fan, Lexi had the opportunity to attend the 2018 Super Bowl in Minnesota. Lexi had a keen eye for fashion and decorating and loved spending time at the New Jersey Shore.
Lexi was predeceased by her paternal grandparents, Leslie and Joan Faye. Survivors include her beloved parents, Russell and Joan (Schuk) Faye, of Newton; her brothers, Jacob and Max Faye, and her sister, Jessica Faye, all at home.

Lexi has made a lasting impression on countless lives she has touched. Her beauty, loyalty, heart of gold, bright smile, sense of humor and contagious laugh will never be forgotten.

My heart aches for all you at the tragic passing of your beautiful daughter. You do not know me, I saw an article on line and I have children her age and it crushed me because this could happen to me. Know that I will be praying for all of you during this difficult time and I am having a Mass said for her soul at my Church. May you find comfort in your family and friends, strength from God to carry on and peace from the Holy Spirit. Lexi is with you every moment of every hour and never forget, one day you WILL be together again in heaven. God Bless.

My heartfelt condolences and prayers will be with you, Lexi's family and loved ones, as you forge through this painful endeavor of continuing on without your precious girl. Please believe that you will, one day, be together again. Although we will never quite understand at this point, why this had to happen, there is a purpose. God love you and give you the comfort and emotional tools you need to get you through.
I went through the exact nightmare that you are many years ago and, in time, it gets a bit easier.
My love to you.

There's no words to describe how much everyone misses you. Lexi, you would always make some smile. You would always make someone laugh. You are someone we will not forget. Time may help us heal our wounds, but that does not mean it will stop us from thinking about you, and how much we miss you. Newton will stay strong, we will stay connected, and there for each other. No one can take your place Lexi, but we know you are up there watching us, and helping us. Gone too soon, but still loved so much.
