In this tough time, my heart goes out to Alex's family and other friends. He was a true gentleman who never failed to bring a smile to your face.



I will never forget him and the great memories we share, from just hanging out at our (Michelle and my) apartment to the wild trip to ECU for Zach's 21st to Mark's "Welcome Home from Iraq" party.



I miss you, Alex!
