Alex was the most loyal friend a person could have.  He would never betray a friend no matter what it cost him.   Alex was always there if a friend needed him.  He genuinely cared about them and wanted to do whatever possible to help a friend in need.  He was always so concerned if when one of his friends was having a difficult time.  Alex's favorite thing to do was to spend time hangin' out with his friends.

Alex's friends continue to express their feelings of sorrow and loss in many different ways.  Six of his friends had a  face tattooed on the inside of their right knees in memory of him.  Alex had a   tattoo in the spring of 2006 tattooed on the inside of his right knee.  Jared visits Alex's memorial cross on Beach Blvd. often and leaves a momento each time he visits.  

Christina was Alex's first love and he was the happiest when he was with her, which was almost all of the time.  They had so much fun together.  There was always so much laughter when they were around.   Alex was trying to teach Christina to drive.  He would insist that she run around the truck three times when she would get nervous during her driving lessons! Unfortunately, there was not quite enough time for him to complete his mission to teach her to drive.  

Alex was always ready for adventure and couldn't stand being bored.  He was never afraid to try anything new.  Alex was a certified scuba diver.  He also enjoyed surfing, snowboarding, water skiing, snow skiing, four wheeling and, in his earlier years, football,  skateboarding and skating in Hilliard with Thomas.
