Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
I was so sorry to read of Alex’s death. I remember him of a darling, blond boy with big blue eyes and full of energy. I ache for your sweet family and pray that your memories of Alex will remain in your hearts and minds. You were always such a supportive family to me and I want you to know if there is anything I can do for you, I am here. Love, Joni Klaus (Mrs. K.)
Teresa and family, I am sorry sorry about your loss. I knew Adam fairly well, but Alex not personally. But I always did hear good things about him. I remember being amazed at the iron trellis he built for the wisteria to grow up in NW’s north garden. I hope God is holding you in the palm of His hand.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Alex. We thought a lot of him, from the time that we first met him, he has had a special place in our hearts. Our faith has taught us that there is a reason we lose a loved one, and one day we will learn the special mission he was chosen for. May God and his angles give you the strength you need to find peace in your time of sorrow.
Gary and Teresa, Words cannot describe what you are going through right now. The dread that grips your heart seems unbearable. This feeling will subside slowly at first and then a bit more as time goes by. Friends and family will help you through these first few weeks, but you will have to rely on your faith and your memories of your son to get you through past that. It’s only been three years since we lost Kelly so I can’t speak of what the future holds for us beyond. I can tell you that Debi and I made a pact early on to speak of our dear son often and to not be afraid to bring his name up in casual conversation with others. They certainly won’t do it on their own. This is one way that we attempt to keep the memories sharp. Although the memories hurt, we can’t bear to lose any of them and are always searching for tidbits of information we did’nt know, or maybe a picture. You will come to cherish other peoples memories of Alex and in turn this will be a great source of happiness, seek them whenever possible. Debi and I are truley saddened to hear of your loss. Stay Strong ! We hope to talk with you soon. Tom Cox
Teresa, Gary and family, I was saddened and sorry to hear of your loss. I can’t imagine what you must be going through. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Dear Teresa & Gary — heard of this on TV but didn’t connect it with you until I got your Mom’s paper yesterday. Our company just left so couldn’t be there — but will certainly be praying for you and your Mom. Our Cody – had a 4 wheeler accident June 5 – took out a piece of skull – was to put in a ceramic replacement Thurs and he started running a fever and so that’s on hold. Tell your Mom Hello and I’ll try and write her. We’ll keep you in our prayers forever. LOVE Marilyn & Harvey Willhaus
There are no words to express the loss felt in our home and hearts, my daughter Brianne loved him so so very much. You raized an incredible young man who was easy to love and admire. It was evident by the life he lead and as well as the way he spoke of his family how much he loved you Teresa, Gary, Luke, Adam , Sara and his extended family. I pray that our loving god will comfort all of you daily. Alex’s light will shine in our souls forever. Alex was a friend to all who met him. He always had a captivating smile, those beautiful eyes and a genuine love of life. You could say he lived life on his terms enjoying all the times spent with family and friends, he made all of us laugh and smile. Thank you for razing an incredible young man who enriched all our lives
Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. I was terribly saddened by the news. I remember Alex as the ‘little Wiebe’ that was always following the rest of the family around at Kensler. Although he was not a student in my classroom, I felt I knew him just as well as the rest of the Wiebe family. My prayers are with you at this difficult time.
I have camped with Alex on Boy Scout outings for many years and have always enjoyed his sense of humor and soft spoken polite conversations. He will be deeply missed by all us that knew him. May god be with his family in their time of pain and comfort them, now and always.
We we were so sad to hear about this difficult loss. We remember Alex from our early years at First MB Church, where he and our 21 year old daughter, Jamie, shared the same last name. Our hearts and prayers are with you.
Alex has a new purpose in heaven.
Gary and Teresa, So very sorry for your loss. We are keeping you and your family in our thoughts.
