Our deepest sympathy is extended to the family in this time of loss. I will always remember Alex as the quiet but humorous young man he grew into over the years. We pray that God's peace comforts you with the knowledge that Alex is at peace with the Father. He will live on in our cherished memories of the way he touched our lives.

Our hearts are broken as we remember Alex throughout the years when our families' lives intersected at many-a birthday party, YMCA sports games, Cub Scout activities, TLS, and Topeka West events, not to mention as part of the Faith family. Our prayers are that your unfathomable grief eventually be eased with the peace and hope only God's promise can give. You are all loved by Him and so many friends and family.
