Alexander MARKWELL Obituary

MARKWELL, Alexander "Alec" My beautiful son, Alexander Markwell, Alec, of Tucson, AZ took his life on the evening of August 7, 2017 in his apartment. He was 25 years old. Alec is survived by his mother, Michele Lopez; grandmother, Mary Markwell; sister, Erika Quiroz and extended family, Spiess, Salazar and Rojas. Alec will forever be remembered for his beautiful smile and generous loving heart, especially during difficult times. Though he took his own life, we know that he is at rest without pain. A Celebration of Life Memorial is being held at St. Cyril's at Pima & Swan, Saturday, September 2, 2017, 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. Please come casually dressed as Alec was a "jeans & t-shirt" kind of guy. In lieu of flowers, please donate in Alec's name to COPE through Cristina Anaya-Silva at 520-792-3293.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Today does not make sense, tomorrow probably won't either, but the pain of this tragedy will not always hurt as bad as it does today

As a sister survivor of suicide loss; I know that words are inadequate to ease the pain you feel right now.

Please know that at this difficult time, thoughts and prayers are with you; that your loved ones are here for you.

Cherish your beautiful memories of your Alec.

The only people who think there's a time limit for grief, have never lost a piece of their heart.
Take all the time you need.
