He was killed in the Amariyah section of Baghdad when an IED blew up the tank he was driving, all aboard were killed.
Alex's favorite things to do were ride his quad in the Nevada desert, play paintball with his buddies and cousin in Folsom, Ca, play Halo on his X-Box 360 with guys at Camp Liberty, and photograph his brother Roger and skate buddies.
He was my baby and will be missed every day for the rest of my life.
