A 2005 graduate of Antigo High School, Alex went on to pursue and receive a bachelor’s degree in education from UW Stevens Point.

Family and friends meant the world to him. He held very near and dear to his heart his daughter and his fur kids Miss Kitty, Kevin, and Jolene.

Alex’s unwavering drive and zest for life transpired with everyone he was around. Alex always went out of his way to help others even when he was not having the best day. His humor was contagious to all those around him especially when he had control of the juke box.
