I was one of Alex's childhood friends from middle/high-school. We rode the same bus and lived maybe five minutes away from one another back in the day. I remember guitar jam sessions that rang in our ears long after they were over, campfires with plenty of laughter as the sun went down, and classic adolescent sleepovers that lasted well into the night with video games like Halo and Guitar Hero. I also look back fondly over our trip to Washington D. C. Together in high-school. I remember his passion for music, both listening and playing, and somewhere has to be a notebook page or two out there with song ideas we would come up with (and probably barely legible lyrics). He got me into guitar and improved my taste in music quite a bit from what I grew up with. The reason I love music so much still today and am still a kid of heart is because of this awesome dude. We stayed in touch throughout the years, most recently a post-pandemic phone catch up, and it was always great hearing his new ventures, life updates, and knowing that he was making his own unique mark on the world. I miss him dearly.

I'm Mark from Philippines. I meet Alex at an online game way back in 2014. I was one of the Top players back then on a certain "Naruto Game", while he just started it. I help him and guide how to do things right. And then we were able to become good online buddies. We then played at lot of online games together since then. We had so many memories in the virtual world playing together. And then he told me some little secret way back in 2017 (not sure of 2017 or 2016), he said he wanted to meet someone here in Philippines. I was excited to see him in person as a good friend after he told me that. Though he never told me the name of the girl she wants to meet. But after some time, he told me that it was my cousin Trish. I was surprised, yet happy and excited!! Then I told him, "I'm here as your buddy, and will always support you". And then he came to Philippines in 2018. And we became good buddies upon seeing each other, just like what we are in the virtual world of gaming. We go out and have some fun, beer, rides and family bonding. It was such a short time for me. And then after all the events, Alex had to go back to US. Sadly, after that we were not able to meet again in person. But virtually, we were still playing a lot of online games together. Then Covid came and life had some few complicated things. He wanted to go back here in Philippines, and he always told me about his problems and some secrets (will be locked up). I could only give advice since we were far from each other. He was so open to me, and he trusted me and treat me as a brother. Before we meet up way back then on 2014, I call him "bro" and he call me "bro" too. As our bonding playing together is like brothers, supporting each other. My kids even call him "bro" when they see me talking to Alex through phone. I had so many things to say and it's really sad to end up this way. Bro Alex, wherever you are right now, you will always be in our hearts. We missed you so much bro. RIP.

My sweet boy….as I write this the reality that you are gone physically is all too real. It has taken me two weeks to be able to put my thoughts down. It was a privilege and honor to be your mother and sometimes challenging but the one truth that prevails is that I loved you…and love you with all my heart. You were so like me- and I feel like there is a part of me missing now. So my precious son, rest darling… you are safe now and in the arms of your Heavenly Father. I will miss you always and love more…until we meet again. All my love- Mom
