My prayers and deepest sympathy are with the family during this difficult time. Alex had a very encouraging spirit. He made you smile and be thankful for life. Alex will be missed. I enjoyed saying hello to him and enjoyed his responsive smile. It was always a joy to see him in my lunch line at York Vo-Tech.

To Gina,

I'm so sorry to hear about your son's death. I was in school with him last year and he was a great kid.. He would never want anyone to help him and even when i saw him struggle i would try too and he would tell me not too. I looked up to him for that. He was a strong boy. He had so many dreams and hopes for the furture.. I will truly miss him and send you all of my prayers and love.

Joe, Gina, and family,



I had the pleasure of knowing Alex for the past few years and getting to know him in the middle school. He truly blessed all of us with his humor and "attitudes." His desire to be successful was always present regardless of his mood. I will truly miss him and will keep your family in my prayers. He is in a wonderful place and we will be reunited with him someday. If I can be of any assistance, please contact me at the middle school.

Alex was very special to everyone who knew him.

Dear Gina, Joe, Lena, Max and Anya,



We are so sorry for your loss. Our family loved Alex's servant heart. He always seemed to be serving. He served us in his Ranger uniform the last time we saw his smiling face at the Light for the Lost Dinner.



When Gideon realized who we were praying for, he said "He was that nice big boy who played football w/ me and ran in the grass after Rainbows class". That was 2 yrs. ago when Gid was 4, he remembered the kindness of Alex.



We can all learn from Alex, he had a servants heart, just like our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We are so proud to have know Alex, he impacted our lives.



We pray you all find peace and rest as the Holy Spirit comforts you during this very difficult time.



God's Love and Prayers

Fondly, Counts Family

Gina and Joe,

We are so very sorry to hear of Alex's accident. We do understand what you are going through, and we pray that God gives you the peace and strength you need. This doesn't help right now, but it is some comfort to know that Alex is wrapped in the arms of the Lord. We are the ones that suffer, not Alex.



If you need someone to talk to, please get in touch with me.



All our love and prayers are with you now and always.

Joe and Gina,



I cannot imagine the pain and suffering you must be facing at this time, but what a peace we have to know Alex is truly home and whole.



That knowledge may never replace the fact that we'll always miss him here; but God has given us great promises to never leave or forsake us. He is Truth and Life.



May God's peace be yours now and always. He is faithful.



With deepest sympathy,

It has been a true blessing to have Alex in my Sunday School class at First Assembly. He was an active participant and seeing his face light up when we would meet outside of class, around the church, indicated to me "we connected." The only encouragement I have at this time is knowing he is now experiencing the same Jesus we talked about and discussed in class.

Gina, Joe and family,



I was deeply saddened to learn of your loss. I read the article in this morning's paper and I see that Alex was growing into a fine young man. I still remember him as the little guy coming in to the office with mom. At least he was doing something he truly loved. May God's peace and comfort be with you in this difficult time. Truly greater things await him!

We just wanted to express our deep sorrow for all of you and your family. Alex will surely be missed at the get-togethers. His memory will live beyond a lifetime....as Luke our son put it.."now Alex can play video games anytime he wants"... Leave it to a child to find happiness in something sad.

Love and prayers,Doug Steph,Luke & Jessica

I am so sorry...I understand that it doesn't matter how many times I say I'm sorry it still won't bring Alex back. But as hard as it is, we must try our best to realize that Alex is in the best place ever! And if I was him, I would never want to come back here, but only hope and pray that everyone I know realizes how true heaven really is and will make it to see me someday. I'm sure Alex feels the same way. He was a great kid who always had a smile on his face, I never remember seeing that kid with his head down but always up with a positive attitude. Alex was a true miracle and blessing to many. Alex loved God so much that others could see it very evidently in his life. My prayer now to everyone that knew Alex, is that in this time where we want to so badly get bitter that we would instead cling to Christ and get better. For bitterness will get us nowhere except more emptiness but if we turn to Christ He will help fill that void, and will one day see Alex again with that big smile on his face. But until then, we've got smiles to handout for Alex!I'm here for your family if you want to talk or if you just need a hug. ~Love and prayers~

With our love,
