In the words of a friend, “Alex was proud of himself, who he was and where he was going in life. He was considerate of others, respectful, and stood up for what he believed in. He enjoyed life and made the most out of it”. Alex loved being outdoors, and hanging out with his family and many friends. He was very outgoing, free-spirited, loving, bubbly, and a friend to everyone. A Facebook post he wrote said: “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel”. Alex touched many hearts, and will surely not be forgotten.
