Alex was born on October 18, 1950 in Havana, Cuba to parents, Alarico Fernandez and Carmen Medina. He graduated from The University of Florida in 1974 with a degree in Chemical Engineering.

He enjoyed reading, all things sports related and spending time with his family. Alex loved all animals, especially his kitties. His family and friends will always remember him as a strong, selfless man with a heart of gold. Alex was a jokester, who could find the humor in anything.
