My Story

Alex's favorite thing to do was play baseball and go hunting with my brothers and father. Know matter how sick he was he still got up and went to play baseball everyday. His biggest dream was to become a baseball player. Alex always had a smile on his face know matter what. If Me or anyone was upset he would sit there on the phone for hours just until we laughed or had a smile on my face. Alexs smile just brightened up everyone's day. He was such an amazing kid with a heart of gold.
