He had a passion for super heroes, sci-fi, Pixar and action movies, along with a love for Rock music. Alec was an avid collector of hot wheels, knowledgeable about cars, an Xbox gamer and a smooth talker who could get anything he wanted with his charming wit and smile. He never forgot details of conversations and had a remarkable memory.

Alec was a dedicated fan of the Georgia Bulldogs, the Falcons, the Broncos and the Golden State basketball team. He enjoyed watching wrestling, especially with the women in the ring and also following the big-named guys.

His love for Jolly Ranchers, gummy bears, sour patch kids, Snickers and Mexican food was well-known. Alec's furry companions Tracker the cat and Bo the dog brought him a lot of comfort and joy.
