He was a good man and a good son and a good brother. He was a man of dignity and character. His awards include the Army Commendation Medal, Army Achievement Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service medal and the Army Service Ribbon. Alex's honesty, devotion to duty and tireless pursuit of excellence inspired all who knew him. He was not just a young man with passion, but with Godly passion and courage.
