hey/ Tash
i was thinking today about how much "change" there is in life- maybe it has something to do with it getting colder outside or my new room- but looking back and seeing how many differnt "lives i've lived" so to say- how my perspective on SO many things have changed and how my mind has grown over the years.. and im only 27- what a trip- i remember being a senior in highschool and i thought i knew everything... and i really mean EVERYTHING- ha! i was so naieve. Alex im saddened that you wont be there right with me through all of lifes changes and the naturlal growth that happens and maybe you dont even notice it so much ( its a slow growth) but its like not seeing somebody for a long time as opposed to seeing them and growing with them every day- or like looking back at an old photo album or reading an old journal enrty and saying WOW! i was so much different back then! Although your not here to be expieriencing your own earthy growth- i feel like you are looking down on me stll and watching and listening i just wish i could talk to you... growing old together would have been such a great thing!! i miss you in my life bro!!!!!

Little Bristol / Mom
Gentle autumn rain today Al...They put this hideous sign up at little Brit which you can see from our house and does not belong in a residential neighborhood! I remember when the playground came all the way down to the sidewalk then they added parking and now this...same thing at big Bristol. Annoying... Close
memories of you / Mom
I just saw a boy on his bike around little Bristol that reminded me so much of you at that age (8 or 9) - something about his friendly inquisitive nature and the way he pedaled off. It was fun and sad at the same time to think back. You were such a treasure to this family - sometimes I wonder how we've all survived without you! Loving you and cherishing the memories that I will always hold of you in my heart... Close
borrowed words from a first lady / Mom
"The delight of my eye and the darling of my heart"... Abigail Adams upon hearing of the death of her son. Reminds me of how I felt about you when you were growing up! Those feelings will never leave me. Love you always... Close

How to have faith, why to have faith- you mst have faith in God! Believe it!
At times throgh out my life this has been a troublesome feat. One question that was never answered with out a little bit of guilt, or fear.
Their were always questions that would pop up in my mind...
With you, there is no question, Alex. The day that you died, changed my life, of course, I lost one of my very best friends! Someone i talked to every single day- some one i trusted, someone i loved, someone i wanted to help, someone i wanted to help me. Someone i Knew would always be there- no matter what..
But I changed in another way to that i cannot easily describe- I had a wave wash over me- One that didn't go away since that day. It was a wave of calm, it was a wave of warmth, of weight- of trust, and of truth.
If I believe in anything its You- I know your there i can feel it-watching over us all! And this is what keeps me going- in life- moving forward, doing good. Your death is a tragedy i still cannot believe at times myself- but your soul lives on, and your laugh still rings in my ears- miss you more than words can say..... Close
4 years / Cyndi Wolff (friend)
Geez Alex, I can't believe it's been 4 years already. We all still miss you terribly. You changed everyone's lives that you came into. I still think about you all the time and how happy you made Heather. I do believe you are with us and watching over your family and Heather. Until we meet again. Love, Cyndi Close
I really dont know what to say. Chrit and ur mom already said what i feel in my heart. I know that you don't have to hear it from me because you feel my heart aching for you...still, after all this time.
I am just thankful. thankful that i said it. told you that i loved you. i loved you everyday and my heart still beats for u but my faith in the Lord and in Heaven reassures me that you know all of this already.
my words cannot express what pains my heart. i still cry your name at night. i thank God that you even came into my life. and that your special family came with the package. they have been a Godsend, Alex and they keep me going when times get tough.
I can't believe it has been four years since I've had to live without you being here in the physical form. I realize that you are here in a different form and that you watch over us all. You see all that we have become and you are by our sides when times get tough. Sometiems I have to remember that things are not so bad. Little things may seem bad in any given moment, but you have given me the gift to realize that most of the time, these little things pass, and better things come. I still talk to you in my head and ask you for help or advice when I need it, and you always come through. Although I miss you being able to talk back to me and give me your thoughts, I have learned that you do communicate in a different way. Having you as my guardian Angel made me learn that everything will be fine, even if I don't think so at the moment. Words can't express how much I miss you every single day. There is a void that can never be completly filled. But, i know with all of my heart that you want us all to be happy and continue on in the positive manner we have been. I know that your huge, beautiful personality lives on through each of us though, and that you give us your guidance in ways we may not understand, but you give it to us when you see we're struggling. At the time you passed, I was about to start my Senior year of college. Now, i'm about to graduate with my Master's degree. I am dedicating my Thesis to you! Without your strength, love, and guidance this could not be possible. Yor memory will live on always. you were too great of an individual for anyone to ever forget. Each day you are alive in us all. My brother forever,until we meet again, love-ya!! -Chrit
four years / Mom
It's been four years now, Alex, and we've all been through changes and developed new aspects to our personalities as a result of going through this. I like to think that the new parts, which never would have surfaced if this had not happened, are the parts that went with you on your journey - parts of each of us that crept into our personalities in an attempt to cope with you not being a tangible part of our daily lives anymore. And I think that we've all been pleasantly surprised at these new strengths and traits that we never knew we had! You live inside each one of us now, and not a day goes by that you are not thought of because you are, and always will be, a collective part of us. It's still hard to believe that I was given such a gift as you! Close
fathers day / Dad
Children, Another Father’s Day is near, a day that is supposed to be dedicated to all the fathers out there who in probably most cases were doing the best they could to help care for their offspring’s. As I muse about this upcoming day I came to the conclusion that having you kids was the “most significant” thing in my life. Without you I would have lived a meager life in obscurity never really facing any challenges, any burdens, any triumphs, all the things that make a life something other than just passing through. One crazy thing is that none of it was planned and yet what a plan it was. To take a women like Pam who had the inborn skills as a mother and a young man like myself who had inborn skills as survivor/salesman Who were both basically lost in their lives at the time and put them in a situation where they both had to perform “certain tasks” and keep “certain promises” is a miracle many men and women go through that elevate their standing in life. Yes, there are more things I would like to do and to achieve any of it, I would have to connect the dots back to you. Yes, you will all wish me well on Father’s Day but I can only be humbled when I think of you all. Alexander, Natasha, Christiana and Dominic.

Guess what? I bought a house. and alex, i really think you would have loved it. After five years in this apartment, it is time to part ways. it will be bittersweet when i leave here since this is the place you knew. The bedroom you laid in, the kitchen you cooked in and the swimming pool you loved so much. But it is time. And i found a little brick bungalow that you would have adored.
Miss you BBFE. Not a day goes by where i dont think of you. You have the biggest part of my heart.

It has been 16 years since I spent anytime with Alex- but my memory of him is still clear. It was evident in the way he walked through each day with a smile that couldn't be mistaken for anything but true Joy. I remember Alex and I spending summer days building rollerblade ramps and attempting to fly, only to be humbled and sent home with bruises... I remember the excitement of us watching the movie Jurassic Park on opening day, and hearing him yell, "Jurassic Park is awesome" as he we dropped him off at his house in Webster. Those were great memories, of a great boy- who later turned into a great man... I didn't get to see who he became, but I was blessed to share those few moments with him. My heart goes out to you all.

meliss to chrit / Dad
Cute, what a happy family I wish Alex could be here to see how much you are loving your young, professional, independent lifestyle in Tampa. But I know he’s watching from above with pride. I miss him. He was so handsome. A genuine example of what a real man can be in this day and age.
I can’t begin to relate to the emotions of dealing with his loss but I do know who you are missing and have great sympathy for you and how hard that must be. Please know that I will always have respect and admiration for you and how you have grown and changed for the positive from this tragedy.
I’m fortunate that I had the chance for him to grace my life. His hyper, easy-going, caring spirit will never be forgotten.

Alex/ Marissa W. (former friend and co-worker )
Hello,
I worked with Alex for a short time at McKelvey Properties. I moved to SC two weeks after I left MP, and just moved back. I just found out about the passing of Alex, and though it's several years late, I felt the need to offer my sympathy.
Alex was one of a kind. He always knew how to make me laugh when he walked into the front door of the office, and when I was in a bad mood...he always knew what to say to make me laugh. He was an amazing person, and had a great love for life. I wish I would have been able to know him better than what I did.
This is an amazing site, and everytime I need a smile,I will have this to look at.
Sincerely,
Marissa Close
deja vu / Mom
When I woke up this morning and looked out the window, a little boy was standing on the corner heading for Bristol. He looked so much like you at that age (7 or 8) - bomber jacket, backpack, and brown buzz cut! For a moment, I let my brain play tricks on me and it felt like you were back again, waiting to cross the street and go to school. Close
