Alex was such an honorable young man. He was always willing to help fellow associates and customers whenever needed. He was as strong as an ox and gentle and kind in his spirit. He is loved by many and will be greatly missed by all who knew him. My heart felt prayers and condolences especially to his precious mother, sister, grandmother and nephew as well as his family and friends. May the Lord comfort you in this tragic loss. Deepest sympathy, Mrs. Lisa Pafford, fellow Kohl's associate and friend.
