Alejandro Reyes Obituary

Reyes, Alejandro "Lalo" NORTH GREENBUSH Alejandro "Lalo" Reyes, 46, passed away suddenly on September 28, 2022. Born February 1, 1976 in New York City, Lalo was a graduate of Columbia High School, class of 1994, and R.P.I., class of 1998. At a young age, Lalo fell in love with baseball. Throughout his high school and collegiate career, Lalo excelled as a top-performing athlete. To date, he stands as No. 2 all-time in the R.P.I. Baseball .500/.400 Club, with a .474 batting average during the 1997 season. While he had a passion for baseball, he met the true love of his life, Nikki, in 2005. Lalo and Nikki were married in 2010 and had three beautiful children Stella, Emmy, and Trey, who were his everything. Lalo is survived by his adoring parents, Roberto and Delilah Reyes; his sister Delilah Jaramillo (Javier); and his brother Felipe (Andra). He will be greatly missed by his nieces, nephews, extended family, his lifelong friends from the East Greenbush and R.P.I. community, and family friends, the Twomeys. A celebration of life will be held Saturday, October 8, from 1 - 5 p.m. at the Mohawk Golf Club located at 1849 Union St., Schenectady. In lieu of flowers, we ask for donations to be made to the Lalo Reyes Family and Memorial Fund (Go Fund Me) set up for Lalo's wife, Nikki, and their three children, Stella, Emmy, and Trey.

I just heard of this and my condolences go out to the entire family. I played baseball with and against Lalo throughout my teenage years. As a pitcher from a rival high school, I always feared facing him... he was so freakishly talented! Then, we played together in the Empire State Games. So much love and respect - not even just as an athlete, as a gifted, lovable human being!

Dear Extended Reyes Family:

We were shocked and so saddened to learn that Lalo had suddenly passed away. There are so many fond memories of him when he was at Doane Stuart Middle School where, among other things, Jacqueline had him as a student. We remember, too during that time, when he was one of the "Four Musketeers" with our son Jorge Boone, Ian Huxley and Daryl Pegler. Lalo and Jorge did a great program together at RPI, thanks to Lalo´s Dad. What a terrible loss for you all and we ask that you accept our most heartfelt condolences.
