DUE TO FAMILY REQUEST PLEASE FORWARD CONDOLENCES TO dukhaugh@adams.net AND WE WILL GIVE THEM TO ALEX’S FAMILY. THANK YOU.
I just wanted to take a moment to let you know that your son, Alex, is still thought about on a daily basis. Sometimes I think people wonder “will my loved one be remembered?” Rest assured that Alex is still cared for, loved, and spoken about by several of my son’s friends. I just thought you may like to know that Alex still lives on in hearts and people still remember him with stories and fondness.
I never knew Alex. I heard alot about him from all of my friens. I heard he was really halarious and never brought anbody down.. What happened was a horrible accident. I wish I could have known him really well like the majority of my buddies did. He will be forever loved and missed. NO DOUGHT. <3 Jess.
I want to say again I am deeply sorrowed by the lose of Alex. If there is any way my family can help please contact us. Love you all, Clint, Stacy, & Jesse

Dave and Glenda,
My deepest sympathy goes out to you and your families at this time. Keep God in your heart.
“For we walk by faith, not by sight.” II Corinthians 5:7.
We are so truly sorry for your loss. Two of my daughters attend QHS and they both were quite fond of your son. You should be proud of the young man he was. Your family is in our thought and prayers. With deepest sympathy, Mark, Janet, Natasha, Kaley and Abby Reno.
Our thought and prayers go out to you and your family. My daughter went to school with him and knew him well and we watched him play over the years as our boys also played football. Our prayer will be with you as you go through this most difficult time.
I miss and love you baby cousin
I am very sorry about your lost. Alex was a very sweet boy and he loved his life. I really miss him. School isnt the same anymore without him. He was one of the best things that has happened to me. And when i walk through school its not the same anymore becuase i dont see him. i miss seeing him smiling and saying hi to me all the time. Just know that you guys are in my thoughts and prayers.
Alex was a great kid and i will miss him so much. Every time i would walk down the hallway and see him no matter what type of mood i was in he’d always make my day better. I also remember walking into Hy-vee and see Alex with a big smile on his face and i would always get in his check out line because he was always so happy and friendly. He will be greatly missed and will always be loved.
