Alexander loved spending time with family. He was fortunate to enjoy his Grandmother Croft who lived with them for eight years until right after she turned 100 years of age. The had a special bond and he loved and has missed her these last years.

Spending time up at the family cabin was one of his favorite weekend and holiday get-a-ways along with the house in St George. Playing pool, family games, riding the motorcycle, the snow mobile, sleigh rides and enjoying the swimming pool filled hours of fun for him.

He felt that it was important to put your best self out there wherever he was going. He loved having a good time with friends and family and was always up for the next adventure. He never wanted to be left behind because he was younger or smaller. He wanted to be right in the mix of it all.

Alexander and his zest for life will be greatly missed. We know he is starting a new adventure where he is now and we are excited for him as he begins his new journey.
