A memorial service, celebrating his life, will be held at 2:00 pm on Friday, December 21, 2018 at Hanes-Lineberry N. Elm St. Chapel in Greensboro. The family will receive friends immediately following the memorial service at the funeral home.
Alex was born on April 25, 1991 in Pitt County to Rose Dobbins Wood and the late William Michael Elam. He was an aspiring musician and song writer. Alex went to Grimsley High School and graduated from Middle College at GTCC. He was an avid reader and was extremely articulate (and no problem correcting everyone’s grammar if the need should arise). Alex enjoyed comic books and films. He loved animals, especially cats and was very witty with a light hearted funny personality. Alex was an active advocate of the LGBTQ in his community. He was a loving and devoted father, son, grandson, brother, and friend who was loved by many and will be missed by all who knew him.
Those left to cherish his memory include his son, Jenson Michael Elam of Albemarle; mom and dad, Rose Dobbins Wood and Steve Wood; sister, Samantha “Sam” Elam and her fiancé, Jacob Caudill of Boone; his two grandmothers, Barbara Dobbins of Fayetteville, NC and Carol Elam of Southern Pines, NC; numerous aunts and uncles and other extended family.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to The Guilford Green Foundation, 1205 W. Bessemer Ave., Suite 226, Greensboro, NC 27408.
