Suffering the loss of your son is a pain like no other but what a blessing to have a wonderful son like Alex for 45 years! Alex enriched your lives with two grandsons (Max and Jax). Remember all the fun times you all had together and know that Alex will live on in fond memories you will have and share for the rest of your lives.
We love you all! Call if you need anything!

October 12, 2024 at 11:03 pmAlex was a helluva guy and he will be missed dearly by ALL who knew him! I know he loved his kids and talked about them regularly. He always had a smile on his face and tried to make those around him smile and laugh too. I will always remember that, and our karaoke sessions. A great guy taken far too soon from this world. Very heart broken to hear of his passing. But absolutely thankful to have had the chance to know him. I am so very sorry for your loss.
