Alex M. Nava

He lost his eight-month long battle with opioid addiction on Friday, April 5, 2019.

He had called the Village Park area his home for all of his 24 years. Alex’s smile is what we will remember. He was a light in the world. He was authentic and genuine, with a greeting full of affection, and his smile and goofiness will remain with us.

It is our hope that Alex’s light will help someone find their way through the disease of addiction and stay alive. Some of us will forever remember

Alex as he stood outside of his childhood home wearing his favorite boots and Magic Girl costume. And then there were the days he wore nothing at all, except those boots.

Alex leaves behind his mother Lisa, father Antonio, brother Andrew, and sisters Angela Morgan and Ariana. His Nava and Morgan families extend across the U.S. and Mexico.

In lieu of flowers, the family is graciously accepting donations to contribute to continued expenses, and there will be a one-time donation in Alex’s name to a program to be determined.
