Rest in Peace, Alex.

I found out through Bill's facebook status update. I was in class. I immediately grabbed my phone and brought up LJ.

And the news was loud and clear.

The world had lost one of it's greats. Alex, you will be missed more than I can ever put into words. You were one of the most amazing people I'd ever met and I will cherish every memory of you that I was lucky enough to have.

My tears are only going to be temporary but my memories and love for you will live on forever.

Thank you for being one of my oldest and dearest friends and for finding a moment to wish me a happy birthday this year. That meant so much to me.

I wish I could have been there more for you in the last bit of your life but I hope you know I was with you in spirit and you were always in my thoughts.

You now have peace and are survived by an amazing, beautiful and loving wife and friend.

I will never forget you.

Goodbye Alex. Kick some ass in the afterlife like you did while you were with us.
