What does one say at a time like this? Ms. Petras called me yesterday morning with the unbelievable news of Alex’s passing. He and Logan were students in one of my most cherished German classes this year. I have not had such great students in a long time as Alex and the others. Although we never met in person, I feel I knew him well. I still have a text on my phone where I had asked about his mom. God has a plan for Alex, but right now I cannot see why he had to leave us all so soon. May your faith, family, and friends help you to grasp this loss. Logan-I am so sorry, so sorry. God be with you all as you are in my thoughts and prayers forever. Mrs. Klein

I am so sorry for your families loss. Alex was a great kid, his smile brightened up a room and I remember when all the boys were still doing achievement days and showing pigs those were the greatest memories there. Both of your boys are going to be so greatly missed and never forgotten. They were both great people. Sending prayers and hugs.

I am so sorry for your loss. Both boys were so respectful when I subbed. I loved their smiles and friendliness always. This is such a hard and difficult time for everyone and so hard to understand. Praying that God gives you strength for each new day.

To Alex's entire family and extended network of friends:
The shock of a loss such as this reverberates far and wide. I can only imagine that Alex made a gigantic impact on everyone that he met as he certainly made that kind of impact on myself and especially on my daughter, Abbey. Abbey only met Alex and Logan in early 2021, but they seemed to have an instant connection as friends - like they had somehow known each other forever. When she spoke of the twins shortly after meeting them, she spoke of them with such high regard that I looked forward to meeting them. On the day that I did, I met Alex first. Most 16 year old boys aren't extremely eager to meet their friends' mother's, however - Alex came right up to me and introduced himself in the most jovial fashion. He, Abbey and I had a great time conversing that afternoon at the track meet. He made an extremely lasting impression...one that will forever be emblazoned on my soul. I met Logan that day as well. Both boys impressed me with their sense of humor, wit and conversationalism. Without doubt, indeed are both fine young men!
I cannot fathom the heartbreak any of you are going through. I can only attest that my heart hurts for each of you...that Abbey's heart hurts deeply for each of you and that we have been holding each of you in fervent prayer since we heard the shocking news of your loss.
May God hold each of you in the palm of His mighty yet gentle hand as you move through the moments ahead and may He bring you strength through the love of family and friends as you cherish each treasured memory of Alex and Garrett.

Some things in life are unreal, hard to believe and extremely hard to bear. You have been in my thoughts since my daughter Sue told me about the accident. Reading the obituaries of these 2 young men brings tears, but also admiration for the amazing people they were. My love and sympathy ~

Rudd Family, May you find comfort in God’s promise at Revelation 21:3,4. “God himself will be with. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things has passed away. Please, read John chapter 11 for true comfort and hope.
