He was the toughest, most aggressive little man to ever guard me in basketball. You'd never know he had heart issues.
Speaking of hearts...for having a bad heart he had the biggest heart of anyone I knew. How appropriate that even at the end of his life he was able to give to others!!!
I didn't know Alec well. But, I always seemed to have a soft heart when it came to him. There was just something about him. His smile, his openness, friendliness, kindness. Especially his curiosity.
He was a great kid and I can't wait to greet him in the future in heaven!
well..i didnt hang wit alec all dat much but i did hang wit him a couple times..like 4 or 5..i had the greatest times wit him at lyssa's house..wow..he was a really funny guy..n loved to be wild..i remember us throwin smores at each other..that was funn..he always knew how to get the party started..
Just a great guy, funny, and a knowledge that God is there and is real.

he never showed his weaknesses or pain, even when he was feeling it. after previous surgeries when we were younger he would stay at our house to recover, and the day he got home he would wanna go outside and play catch or swim. we always had to yell at him to get back on the couch. my little man was stronger and more powerful than anyone else i will ever know
Ever sence i was little he was coaching me in everyway... He would always ask if i wanted to play basketball or catch ,or see if we could start up a football game. He never gave up at anything he did. The best memorie i have with him is the endless tap-sack battles we had, we wouldn't stop until we were crying. (He always was first) He always challenged me and i will never forget it
he told my mom one morning when she had a bad hair day good morning beatiful he sang in the shower he asked me and sandy to give him a massaige or how ever u spell it (lol) and still owes me and sandy 7 bucks each (lol).
Hey the last time i seen alec we where camping memorieal day and him justin and me where hanging out with kendlynn, sami, and kim and we played softball with them and the next day he left with justin and all i said was see ya later dude.
Lov ya alec from ur cousin
p.s. i think he was a angel sent down from heaven
I remember fooling around in geometry all the time siting in the hallways hanging out and just talking to one of my best friends
no matter how bad i would rough him up he wouldn't ever stop coming back at me. its rare for a person with that quality in a age full of quitters.
His determination and zest for life. He did everything with passion. We would rip on each other and when I got him good he'd smile that smile, shake his head and say, "Grandma" as if he couldn't believe what I had just said. How he would trip over his own 2 feet ALL THE TIME when he was a toddler and young boy. How much ice cream he could eat at one time. His smile, how he showed his love for his friends and family. How willingly and unashamedly he shared his faith with me and how he wasn't afraid to admit his love for the Lord. He especially showed this at Spirit Song at King's Island. His unique relationship with Corrie, how they seemed like one person. What will I remember most about Alec?.....only everything....
You can't watch someone come into this world and not be affected by their life. Alec had a rough start, but came through all his trials like the champion he is. He taught me the true meaning of "bravery", "loyalty", and "unconditional love" to name a few. Oh, he wasn't perfect, but that kid was special in a way I never could explain. He had a seriousness and deepness about him I couldn't quite break into. I love him so much and will miss him terribly until we meet again. He left me with a strong desire to be the best person I can possibly be with the time I have left here - what an amazing gift Alec was and IS!!
i have so many memories of alec. one thing for sure is that whenever we would be wrestling around he would never give up i would always have to tap out first. we would play catch in the back yard, we even had full games (we played with goastman of course) and most of the time garrett and tj would always want to join in, and of course we let em. waitin in line for the waterslide at KOA, gettin ice cream there, goin up to the store and comin out with the most pointless crap we could find. and watching him dominate the basketball court, baseball and football fields. his corny jokes that somehow always made me laugh. i miss him so much.
the day that we all went out to macdoes and anyone in the car who called it micdonalds would get punched, and tj and marc had a dance-off and alec was laughing so hard he started to cry and we were all so happy that day it was one of the greatest days ever
I will always remember Alec, Garrett,Me and Alec's puppy Beau out front at his house playing basketball for hours on end.Then Alec and i taking long walks in the middle of the night just talking for hours about anything. I sure do miss it alot..
Love & Miss you bud
