My thoughts and prayers to you. Alex played an important role in my life and in a sense made me a better nurse. His smile contagious, his heart as big as all outdoors. I will hold him in a special place in my heart and always remember he would left me feel his soft hair. God Bless!

I remember at High School I would push Alex in his wheelchair in jobs class, he just enjoyed getting some help by some friends like me here. I just graduated with and we rode the bus together. He would always get so happy to see his friends on the bus, but sometimes he was tired. I will miss him very much!

Chuck, Jamie, and Libby, I have always been encouraged and admired the care, love, all the beautiful ways you shown and demonstrated what it is to give God the glory for all things. Your lives soo dedicated to give Alex the best of the best has blessed soo many lives. Alex life has been such an inspiration to my ❤️. Your whole family is the perfect example of what God intended for a Family to be. It's hard to believe he is now with his Heavenly Father and his life on this earth is over. His life has touched sooo many lives and I believe has also brought others to Christ. My heart aches and grieving for you. Sending hugs and prayers your way. Love you all.
