Dearest Eric & Family, I just got the news about Alex this past weekend and my heart just broke. There's nothing I can say or do to ease your pain, but know that I pray with all your friends and family for peace and comfort to your broken hearts. You know it is not the end - you will see him again, and in just the twinkling of an eye for Alex. God love and comfort you.

To Alex's Family,
I have been keeping you in my thoughts and prayers since I heard of the accident. My son, Jesse Brooks, had the wonderful opportunity to work with Alex at Ponte Vedra this summer. Although I never met Alex, Jesse spoke often about him. He sounded like a truly wonderful young man. I know that Jesse's life was truly enriched by their time together. When Jesse told me the horrible news, my heart was broken. Jesse was devastated. I can't imagine your pain and I will continue to pray everyday for you all. If you ever feel that you would like to talk with Jesse his phone number is 321-698-9994. He attends UNF and lives in Jacksonville. He's still working at Ponte Vedra. May God Bless you all and bring you peace and comfort. Love and Prayers, Bernie Brooks (Jesse's Mom)

I had just met Alex in March when we went on a date. We instantly became friends and kept talking. We were supposed to go out again when he got back from his trip. I'm so sorry for your loss. He was such a nice person and always making some kind of joke. I only knew him a few months, but I'm glad I got the chance to know him for that period of time. He was a great guy and will be greatly missed. He's in a better place.

Dear Debbie, Eric and family,
My heart reaches out to you all as you cope with the loss of your beloved Alex. Reading about his life is truly inspiring, and emphasizes what a huge loss you have to endure. Love never dies, and Alex has missions that go beyond this earth plane. I pray that there be some comfort for you in memories of Alex, and in the hope that your journey together does not end on this planet, but goes beyond time and space as we know it. I believe he still exists, but in a form that now allows him to do the work he has prepared himself for.

I met Alex in my neighborhood, he was dating a lovely girl, and then I saw him at the gym 5 a.m. He was so pleasant, helpful with advise, nutrition, and a big smile. I was saddened to read in THE RECORD of his sudden passing. He is with God,and God knows why he took him so soon. Be at peace Alex,and to the Searcy family, you raised a fine man, you will see him one day in Heaven.

Eric and Debbie,
Over the years we personally have not been real close, but I feel I've grown up with you through Tom. My husband and I had this very similar pain in Sept. of 2005 when we lost our 23 year old son to Jesus. Please feel peace in your faith in the lord and know that all things do happen for a reason. I know that nothing said can take away the horrible heart ache, but knowing that they're with Jesus and right with us at all times does help. God bless and we send our love. Kim

Alex was the first person I met when I moved up here this past April. I knew him as a fun, yet relaxed person. He mentioned his family often, and I know he loved the St. Augustine area.
