I met Alex at the YMCA and quickly we formed a friendship outside of the gym. Alex felt like a older brother to me, even though he saw me as a friend i always looked up to him. Truly a one of a kind human being. He always showed up when I asked and lend me a helping hand when I needed one. Alex was one of the most talented people I’ve ever met and he had most charismatic personality it was impossible to not want to be friends with him. I’m so thankful and cherish every moment of Alex I have. There isn’t a day Alex hasn’t came across my mind,  Thank you Alex for being my big bro and role model, and thank you for leaving your imprint in my life. Until we meet again my friend ❤️

I remember Alex’s huge smile and happy demeanor while playing football with my son Riley at the ESPN complex in Florida. The time spent with our boys while playing for the Bulldogs is a wonderful memory for our family. We are truly sorry for your loss and send our love.

Hey buddy, still thinking about you. I know you’re still up there eating some Sour Patches and laughing that contagious giggle. Rest easy brother.

What to say about this guy that hasn't already been said? Alex was such a nice guy, always helping others and going out of his way to see friends or reaching out to talk with them if it's been too long. I will miss Alex, not only for his damn good looks but how he would always see the world as a glass half full kinda guy. I'll miss chatting with him and figuring out lifes problems together. RIP

This was my first prom with him, where he’s just smiling with his tongue out. He was always smiling and laughing, could turn any situation better

Thanks for all the great memories throughout middle and high school. You won’t be forgotten. Rest In Peace Alex❤️

Vallejo Family, 

I found this picture of Alex during LGPE and it’s exactly how I remember Alex—always smiling, always trying his best (first chair 2nd violin!), and always willing to help out. May you find comfort in the wonderful memories of Alex posted below. He was a great young man, and I’m proud to have taught him. Love to all of you during this tough time. 

You made my teacher heart so very happy. Rest in peace, dear Alex

Farewell, Alexander. I may not have known you well personally, but I still have memories from British Lit class. You often wore a smile when chatting with the other guys and even laughed alongside us when we joked about character names from stories and plays. There were times I wanted to befriend you but couldn’t because I felt I was out of your league. But I pray that your soul finds peace. My heart extends to your family and all your friends.

Alex and I went to Oxford together but didn't know each other until this past year. This past spring semester, we would sit together throughout class, laughing at random things. We even helped our other friend pick out a formal dress during class, giving our input on what looked good and which should be avoided. Beyond messing around, Alex was a great partner. We presented together on the ethics of pharmaceutical price gauging, something Alex was very passionate about. On campus, we would walk around together before his next class chit-chatting about the most random things. Alex was incredibly fun to be around and friend to everyone.

I remember the last time I saw him in person so vividly not knowing it would be the last. The week before he passed, Alex invited me up to see some of his favorite views of Atlanta while I was back home out of state. I deeply regret not seeing him, and I was in utter disbelief when I saw his obituary this morning. There are no proper words to express the depth of such a tragedy. I am so sorry for your loss, and he will be greatly missed.

Three weeks ago we walked across the street to get more printer paper. That printer was impossible to set up. Alex put off putting that thing together for months, the instructions were complicated. 

I can’t believe there were only weeks left to spend time with you. I can’t believe I cancelled our plans of what would’ve been the last time I’d ever see you, because I was “too busy”.

And I can’t believe I’ll never see you again. 
We had so many plans for the future. So much research done by your side. We were gonna help so many people together.
Now I have to do it by myself, but 
I will honor you.

I’ll miss you man. It had been a while since I saw you but I never forgot when you were there for me when most weren’t.  You always pushed me to be who I knew I could be and I’ll never forget the time we spent together. I hope to see you again someday.

Alex, you were there for me in some really tough moments in life. I know you didn't always have it easy but you were a fighter. Rest in peace. You will be so missed.

Alex really cared for the people around him and made sure they knew that they mattered. This is him with my cat Stellaluna. Alex loved cats and we used to talk about him owning cats in the future. He wanted to get an orange cat and name him/her Cheeto and have another cat named Cookie. Alex was the kind of person who encouraged and inspired the people around him to follow their passions in life to make the world a better place. He believed in the potential of people even when they didn't see it themselves. 

Big V,  thank you for all the joy and energy you spread around. We had some wild and happy memories together. Rest easy, legend.

Back in 2011 at the clemson soccer camp. From camps like these to playing soccer in your basement every weekend, I will never forget all the memories. Rest easy 🙏🏼

So many fun memories with you throughout high school. Thanks for always bringing joy and laughs wherever you went. You and your family are in my thoughts & prayers. Rest in Peace Alex💗

I had so many amazing childhood memories with you.  From riding the bus everyday, travel soccer, or playing four square in my garage, I’ll never forget those moments. Rest easy, Alex.

Truly a one of a kind human. Forever grateful that he was a part of my life. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Rest in peace ❤️

Going to miss you Vallejo. We had so many great memories on the soccer field at Walton and NASA. I’ll also never forget the times playing indoor soccer in your basement. Outside of soccer you were always such a joyful and genuine person. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers, rest in peace.

Friendsgiving 2021. We had so much fun this night. The most selfless, loving , and genuine person I have ever met. You had such a pure heart and radiated such joy in every room you walked into. The gains will forever be for you. Thank you for always being such an amazing friend. Love you

Alex, Tristan, and Chloe; the mes amigos trinity 

So many great memories with you Vallejo. I’ll never forget getting pulled up to varsity together, we were so excited! You were so quick on the wing and a great finisher.  Great player, teammate, and friend. Growing up with you was a joy, on and off the pitch. You were so positive and optimistic about life. My heart is heavy, you will be missed. 

Will miss you forever Alex. You were an amazing friend 

Alex, our friendship was so effortless and natural. You and I shared memories that I will never be able to forget. You showed me so often how proud you were of me, and I cherish every memory we've had the opportunity to share. You showed consistent loyalty and honesty; you were always an amazing friend. I cannot thank you enough for the love you've shown me. I miss you, and I love you forever. Always in my heart xx

My heart breaks for you and your family... There are no words that can take away your sadness in this time of tragedy.  Life without Alex will never be the same. 😔

Never met someone quite like you, Alex. Interesting and Fun. Thanks for all the memories, and how much you cared and touched the people around you 🤍

Planet Hollywood, Orlando — April 2008. 

Dear Cathleen and Vicente,

My heart is filled with sorrow for the passing of Alexander.  

I have no idea of what to say to bring comfort to your hearts. 

My thoughts and prayers during this sad time.

Love 

Lúcia and Jeff

One of the most sweetest and genuine souls I was lucky to have in my life. Always wanted to find the best views. 

There are no words that can adequately comfort at a time like this. So I will just say, I am so very sad for your loss. A young man who sounds amazing and has the beautiful smile of his mom, gone way too soon.. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you navigate this most difficult time. 

a truly genuine, and endlessly generous and caring individual. prayers and thoughts for your family, and for you alex, we will love and miss you always. you won’t be forgotten. i love you so much. it’s not right that you’re gone. 

Alex was so kind to take my headshots when I asked him if he could last year. He went above and beyond and out of his way to make sure my photos looked good. He even spent time afterwards editing them. When I asked how much he would charge for that, he said not to worry about it. 
The generosity in his heart to help me out at no cost to him in that moment made me realize how genuine of a person he was. The world will be a little worse off without Alex around. I will be missing him, and I’m sorry for your loss. 

Alex and I spent so much time together. Thank you for all the joy you brought 

An unforgettable trip. I will never forget the amazing memories and impact you had on my life as well as others. I will miss you forever best friend.

Alex and I spent so much special time together throughout the years and he’s someone I always will hold so close to my heart. 

Alex and best friend Neal, just after picking me up to go to Top Golf. I can remember being very sad that day and Alex told me time with friends was always good. They both definitely helped me improve my swing, and we had so much fun goofing around. 

He brought me a gallon of gas to start to my car. Then he drove over to help me jump it 3 separate times throughout the day until we realized the battery was just loose.

Alex, thank you for being part of our lives.  We  will always treasure our moments together.

Alex always brought so much joy, goofiness, and laughter to those around him. I’m forever thankful for the memories that I have with him and the impact that he made in so many lives.
