Beloved by all who knew him, Alex was kind, light-hearted, optimistic, and full of love. He committed time to working with others at the Columbia Tribune as a carrier in the Rothwell Heights neighborhood, at Hy-Vee as a courtesy clerk, and most recently at Nourish as one of their first employees. He had overcome brain cancer as a child, but that did not stop him from playing basketball and softball with Columbia Parks and Recreation, swimming for Hickman High School, and earning his Eagle Scout rank. He loved American trucks and Lamborghinis, and loved playing games of all kinds, where he brought laughter and smiles to everyone.
Born in Florida, Alex loved the ocean and the sun. He adored children and his cats, Boogie, Rolly, and Taz. He was his father Tim’s best friend, he always looked up to his older sister Ashley, and he shared a special love and connection with his mom Pat. Their hearts are forever entwined and he will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, February 15 at 2:30 pm at 904 Old Highway 63 Columbia, Missouri. Funeral services will follow at 4:00 pm.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent in Alex’s name to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, 4708 Highlands Pkwy, Columbia, MO 65203.
