Alex had an infectious smile that would light up any room. He loved sports and knew everything about baseball, football, and basketball. He was known for being great at poker and always enjoyed playing poker with his friends in his spare time. Alex and his father teamed up each year in fantasy football, and this year was their first time winning. When you think of Alex you think of his contagious smiles and fun loving ways. Alex was best friends with his brother Max and was always there for him. He leaves a legacy of joy and happiness with everyone he had connected with. He will be looking down and smiling at all of us. May he rest in peace. These are Max's words (Alex’s brother): “Me and my brother have memories that will last forever. He taught me everything there was about sports, having fun and making the right choices. He is the strongest person I know, and I wouldn't be who I am today if it wasn't for him. He stuck by me through the worst times and always gave me the strength to move forward. He wasn't just my brother but the best friend I could ever ask for.� Friends may call Saturday February 20th from 1- 7 PM at Thomas E.
