He was born in Madison, WI to Andrew and Bridget (Carey) Young on November 12, 1996. At age 13, Alex and his family moved to Boulder, CO where he attended Fairview High School and graduated in 2015. Alex then went on to attend Colorado State University where he received a Bachelor’s Degree in Construction Management, with a minor in Business.
Alex’s early years in Wisconsin were filled with his love for sailing, kayaking, rowing and swim team. Once in Colorado, he continued swim team and was an active member in his youth group, Young Life Boulder, and volunteered on the Young Life Work Crew staff in CA. He worked as a lifeguard for several years as well as a Boulder home builder. Throughout his years at CSU, Alex refined his skills with internships in Breckenridge and Telluride in preparation for his full-time job in Aspen, CO. He later moved back to the Front Range to start Boulder Spaces LLC, a home improvement company specializing in custom sheds, tiny offices, and home remodels.
Outside of Alex’s passion for building, he filled his time with adventures and hobbies. Interests old and new, Alex was an avid skier since age 3, a newly licensed skydiver, mountain biker, frequent camper, and lover of any outdoor adventure. Alex’s hobbies were embodied by his mountain man persona.
Alex was a compassionate son and brother who had a radiating smile, an unescapable bear hug, and energy that lit up a room.
His spirit of adventure and a caring heart will live on through his parents, Harrison (brother, 23), and Elsa (sister, 19). He is preceded in death by his grandmother, Friedie Carey, and his uncle Brian Carey.
In lieu of flowers and gifts, a GoFundMe page has been set up to support various foundations that Alex’s family has selected in his honor. https://gofund.me/61c42fa5
