 Our hearts are broken. Our lives forever changed. Our faith, unwavering! God decided it was time for you go home Alex. While we can't begin to understand, we know you are in the Greatest of Hands.

You touched people with forever memories. So many stories from family and friends confirmed how important you are to so many people. You made things special that most people overlook.

 Alex, we are so proud of you and all you have accomplished. Your goals were set high, and you would accept nothing less even while the odds were stacked against you.

 Our best friend, our oldest son, the best brother, the hardest working coworker, the most compassionate man. We were blessed to have you in our lives and forever in our memories.

 We know you are still by our sides and watching over us. When we close our eyes, we see you, hear you and hug you.  Rest in peace, son.
