Alexander james daly
Alexander James Daly, Leesburg, VA and Huntersville, NC, was born on March 11,1991 and passed away suddenly of natural causes on July 27, 2019. He was the son of Patricia Magee Daly and James Michael Daly of Leesburg, VA. He is survived by his parents; four uncles; five aunts; and seven cousins. Alex was a strong, independent, kind and gentle man. He was a problem solver and someone who could always be counted on to meet the needs of friends and coworkers. He attended Green Hedges School in Vienna, VA, and graduated from Wakefield School in The Plains, VA. He attended Virginia Tech and earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the School of Engineering where he majored in Industrial and Systems Engineering. During his high school years and college career he worked at Costco Wholesale in Leesburg and was honored to serve as an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant for Dr. Paul E. Torgersen in Virginia Tech's Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering. Alex loved living in Blacksburg so much that he spent the first six years of his career there at Federal Mogul where he became a Powertrain Global Process Expert, traveling internationally to improve production lines in other locations, prepared and led line performance improvement workshops and collaborated with manufacturing engineers to develop best practices. In May 2019 Alex moved to Huntersville, NC to become a Lean Coordinator/Industrial Engineer at Forbo Siegling. Alex loved fast cars, domestic and international travel, scuba diving, hot air ballooning, building Legos, hiking with friends and his faithful canine companion, Riley. A celebration of Alex's life will be held on Saturday, August 3, 2019 at 1 to 3 p.m. at the Loudoun Funeral Chapel, 158 Catoctin Circle, S.E., Leesburg, VA.

We were speechless when we found out about Alex's passing! It's just unbelievable that this could happen to such a nice, young man. Alex was special and one-of-a-kind. His passing will leave a very large empty hole behind.
Our deepest condolences to the Dalys and their extended families. While maybe old-fashioned, we can't fathom a "child" passing before his parents. There are no words of wisdom to pass along, but we wish for you the courage and strength to cope with this terrible loss.

It breaks my heart to hear of Alex's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with his family during this very difficult time. Some of my fondest memories of Alex are from Caroline Furnace and the Grand Canyon. He had a great sense of humor and I really enjoyed getting to know him.

We are terribly saddened to learn of Alex's untimely death, and we send our condolences to his family. We met Alex through our nephew, (Hokie) Alex Carr. We were happy to host Alex, Alex, and Kelvin Jan in 2014 as they came through town for the 86EXPO car show. That's when we learned that Alex Daly had attended Green Hedges School, which had been founded by Robert's uncle, Kenton Kilmer. We saw Alex again at the wedding wine selection event for Alex and Anna, and then at the wedding, where Alex Daly was decked out in Hokie wear, top to bottom. He was a marvelous young man, and the world is diminished by his absence.
