Alex is preceded in death by his Maternal Grandfather Alexander Nemeth, Maternal Grandmother Judith Nemeth, and Paternal Grandfather Frank Candela.

Alex was a devoted son, brother, uncle and friend. His most notable achievement was graduating Summa Cum Laude with a bachelor’s degree in engineering. He loved finding out how machines worked, taking them apart and putting them back together. He was also known in the community for his huge holiday light shows with animated Christmas lights synchronized to music. In his spare time, he liked making 3D models, computer gaming (his favorite Farm Simulator), wood working, home automation, tinkering on electrical projects, and writing code when he was bored. He was always up for a challenge when people said it couldn’t be done when it came to the 3D printers. Alex never met a stranger. Everyone was his friend, and he was there for you. He never expected or wanted anything in return. You could count on him day or night. He loved helping. He will be deeply loved and missed by his friends, family, and all who knew him.
