My two sons Marc and John were Alex’s brothers. I knew Alex when he was little and much later when he was a young adult and visited us in California. This is such a sad time and my heart goes out to his mother Karen. May you find peace in knowing that you raised a good son who loved you. My deepest condolences.

Me and Alex playing with Snapchat filters

Alex was my soulmate. So he would say. And I knew it. Alex was the most kind hearted person I have ever met. He helped me through so many tough times. Alex and me planned a life together. And every one of his friends and family were in that plan.

Me and Alex at warped tour

Alex was my soulmate. So he said. And he was. We planned so much together. Alex was the most amazing human. He loved me so much and told me it so much to make sure I knew. Me and him were always on the phone together and when we weren't we would be texting.
