A friend of mine out here in California wrote this for you buddy. She never met you but just from the stories I told her during downtime at work she free handed this poem for you. It's apparently obvious how everyone perceived you throughout life even if just through stories. Anyways, I just wanted to share it with you - I love and miss so much man!

Susan and Mason,
We just wanted to let you all know how very sorry we were to hear of Alex's death.  
Although our family's lives passed over  a brief period of times, I remember how 
much fun and love your boys showed to each other every time I saw them.  My son 
Michael went to school with Kurt, and he called my this week to tell me the horrible 
news.    After Magellan, we often would see you and the boys at A.E. Finley YMCA.  
Again, the love you all had for each other was touching and my heart breaks for 
your loss.  Praying for you and your family.

Michael and Beverly Wilder     

Susan, Mason, Kurt and Eric, please know we are keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers .  We regret we were out of town at the time of Alex's Celebration of Life,  but thoughts of all of you were never far from our minds that day.  It is still so hard to believe this has happened.  Please, please let us know if there is anything we can do for you.

Love,

Ann and Boyd

I was honored to be friends with Alex during our Magellan years from 4th to 8th grade. He was a bright light, had a radiant smile, a contagious passion for life, and a friendly, approachable personality that always brightened my day.  Sending lots of love and prayer to you all during this time. 

Susan and Family, 

I am so saddened by the loss of your son Alex. I know he loved you and your family very much. I hope his memories and infectious personality will help to place a smile on your face as you cope with this difficult loss. Praying for your peace and comfort at this difficult time. 

Mason, forgive me for just now responding, as we were on a Fourth of July family trip to Kentucky last week.  I was so sorry to hear of Alex's sudden passing and wanted to let you know that your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.  

My deepest condolences go out to you, Susan, and your family.  I am keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers and wish you strength and peace through this unthinkably difficult time.  God bless you all.

Dear  Beautiful Brommer family,

      I have been at a loss for words because of this heartbreaking tragedy, until I found this poem.  I thought of  your amazing love, strength  and the bond that holds you all together.
  
A limb has fallen from the family tree.  I keep hearing a voice that says, “Grieve not for me.  Remember the best times, the laughter, the song, and the good life I lived.  Continue my heritage, I am counting on you.  Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through.  My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest, remembering all and how I was truly blessed.   Continue traditions , no matter how small.  Go on with your lives and don’t worry about falls.  I miss you all dearly.   Keep your chin up until the day comes when we are together again.”     

My heart goes out to each and every one of you.   Love, Donna

To the countless family & friends who have shown your love, support, and admiration for Al,

Yesterday, was absolutely the most brutal and gut-wrenching day we've had to face as a family.  We truly can't put into words the sense of loss, emptiness, and love that will be missed through Al's departure from our lives.  

Yet, the outpouring of love, friendship, and caring that our family has experienced through all of you these past few days quite honestly has been overwhelming and so appreciated!

We know Al is watching over us with a sense of pride and disbelief in the small ways that he may have touched your lives. 

We hope you will continue to share any stories or experiences you may had with our beautiful son, Al, and keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

God bless you all and thank you Al for being such a positive influence on all of our lives!

Mason, Sue, Kurt, Eric (Maggie and Ruby)


  

To Susan, Mason, Kurt, and Eric,
We are so saddened to hear about your  heartbreaking loss. Our words are meant to comfort yet we know that is nearly impossible. We send our love and remember Al and his beautiful smile.

I'm absolutely heartbroken for the Brommer family.   Alex was loved by many and will be missed greatly.  The world is less bright without his infectious smile, quick wit, kind soul, and big heart.  Praying that the family finds solace in their special, loving memories of the one-of-a-kind, sweet Alex.

I just heard of the horrid news this morning from a friend.  I cant even begin to imagine what yall are going through right now.  Alex and I dated on and off for about 2 years - he impacted my life so much.  His bubbly, hilarious, random personality - I will never forget it!  He always knew how to bring the spirits up in a crowd, and he made me so happy!  

As we age and mature, we begin to question decisions in our lives...why did  Ido what I did, why DIDNT I do what I should have done.  Unfortunately, when Alex and I began dating, I was young and just exiting out of a serious relationship, and not ready to fully take that plunge again. There are so many days I wish I could have turned back time and done things differently, because what we had truly was very special - a one of a kind!  I loved your son, I loved him dearly, and I know he loved me.  If only timing would have worked itself out differently....

I wish I could be there today, but unfortunately I just found out about this today and I live in VA.  My heart goes out to your family.  But know that (and I know you know this) YOUR SON WAS AN AMAZING PERSON and has truly impacted so many peoples live, whether they realize it or not. I will forever keep our memories close to my heart - he will never be forgotten.

Dear Susan, Mason, Kurt, Eric and Meghan

I am deeply saddened  by the news of your loss.

I pray that God will grant you the strength to get  through 
this moment in your life.

My most sincere condolences 

María Luisa Giraldo J.

Our sincere condolences to Sue & Mason. We pray that the memories of your amazing son light your way through the sorrow of the next year of “firsts.” We hope that everything he gave and taught will shine on through you and your children and will be celebrated for the rest of your lives. 
All our love,

Mason, 

Hearing about your loss has deeply saddened me, but I know that this is far from what you are going through right now. You are in my thoughts and prayers. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you and your family.

I’m taking liberty to “steal” others words that seem fitting from the movie Steel Magnolias: “When something like this happens I pray very hard to make heads or tales of this & Alex went on to a place where he could be a guardian angel, he will always be young, he will always be beautiful & I personally feel much safer knowing he’s on my side”.   And a Julia Roberts line “I’d rather have 3 seconds of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special”.  

Alex, we had you for 29 wonderful years & I’m so grateful I had a chance, even brief, to see you, talk with you & hug you in Hilton Head.  I talked to you about your future work goals & I said you sound like me at that age, I always knew what I didn’t want to do but not what I wanted to do.  So now Alex, God has called you to your eternal home & He has mapped out all the important work He has in store for you, and I’ll be looking forward to seeing you again one day. 

Always with tons  of love & hugs, you aunt & godmother, Anita  

My name is Anthony Morrison and Alex was a good friend of mine. We were co-workers at Duke Raleigh Hospital and talked everyday even outside of work. Alex was one of the nicest guys I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting and an all around good guy! He’ll definitely be missed and I’ll carry on the support of Lebron for him. My condolences go out to the Brommer family. May God be with you through these tough times. 

Thank you, Anthony 

Mason and Family,
I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your son.  I remember how proudly you always spoke of all of your children and I know there is much sorrow in your hearts.  I pray that God will provide comfort in the days ahead.  You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Susan and Mason, 
We were so saddened to learn of Alex's passing. Please know that we hold you close at this time and wish calmness and healing and gentle peace in the days ahead for you and all your family. 
Love,
David and Candy Dahl

Sue, Mason, Kurt, and Eric,
Alex brought so much joy and laughter to our family for over 20 years.  His grin was infectious and his update attitude is legendary.  Know that you have so many friends that share you grief and offer up prayers of comfort.  I know Al, Graham, and Ben are chillin' together today.

Our deepest condolences for your great loss.

Yours in life and in baseball,
Dean and Drew Phillips

Brommer family,

I am so sorry for your loss. Growing up, in middle school and high school Al and Eric were two of my best friends. 

Susan and Mason, I thought of Eric, Alex, and Kurt as my brothers. 

I can remember the days playing basketball in your front yard. And the numerous movie nights and pool tournaments in your home. 

I would like you guys to know, Al was one of my favorite people I have ever known. He had an infectious smile, a genuine good heart, and was just an amazing person. 

The Collevecchio family is here for you.

God bless you. Your family is forever in my prayers. 

Alex 


Susan, Mason, Kurt, Eric and Meghan,

Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss.  I will never forget Al coming into the store to meet Susan for lunch on numerous occasions. He always had a big, bright smile on his face. Everyone could tell he loved his mother! …. and Al, I know you are looking down on us and I want you to know that  there has NEVER been a day that your mother did not talk about you and her other two sons. 

I am here for you, Brommer family. I admire how genuine, caring and how close you all are. Al will be with you, every step of the way and you will all meet again, someday. Love you,  "LM" and I am by your side.

XXOOXX,

Karen 

Susan, Mason and family ,
I am heart broken too for you all. 
As an associate of Susan’s at Saks, I remember so many visits from your boys through the last 14 years. The stories and pride Susan has shared with me and her Saks family through the years have been amazing with the most recent being Masons 60th birthday.
Your loss is so devastating and I ask God for Comfort, Peace, and Love to be shared with all of you now and in the days to come.
Remember” When we lose someone we love  so deeply , there is a hurt in our hearts no one can heal but there are also wonderful , beautiful memories no one can steal”
Love to you all ,

Oh Brommers -- I am so deeply sorry to hear this terrible news that Oliver shared with me. There is no greater nightmare in our lives than losing a beloved child and my heart breaks completely for all of you who remain. I will be in touch with you over the times ahead and be here for you when you are ready to talk which can take some time. I have such fond memories of Oliver and Alex through the Magellan years. My heart goes to you all, Ann
