I am so very saddened to hear of Alex's passing.
I have many fond memories of Alex from the early years in Candia but one always stood out for me...seeing a picture Alex drew in 1st grade of a train...the detail was unbelievable and i could not believe that it was the artwork of a 6 year old!
The memories of he and Zachary playing CYAA sports and haning out together while Victoria and I planned Kid Fest will remain in my heart.
My deepest and heart felt condolences go out to his entire family but especially to his mother, Victoria. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Alex, Big D & I remember the joy we had when you lived with us, how you wouldn't want to eat breakfast before school, then it was awesome if I got up early & fixed it for you, memories will never leave us, also the times you came over for your breakfasts after you graduated. How you'd walk in the house & your friends would follow you, it was the best feeling that Big D & I knew you felt comfortable staying here & inviting friends you wanted over. We will miss you & your contagious heart, smile & laugh. Love you bud, Big D & Aunt Elaine
