I have had the pleasure of knowing Alex and Sarah for a long time. They were my next door neighbors at one time. As neighbors we spent a lot of time together sharing our life stories, and always there for one another. Alex was a kindhearted generous person that will never be forgotten. Cindy Meier

A few months ago I had a very special evening's visit alone with Alex & Sarah to see their new house. There was something extra about the evenings conversation as I got to spend personal extended time getting to know Alex better than ever. We three ended the evening agreeing that we were looking forward to more time together. Now the memory of that evening is uniquely special. Love, ( Uncle ) Jack Cress

I will so miss Alex! He always gave me a wonderful, big "bear-hug" at our Cress Family gatherings. Alex was friendly and inclusive and had a way of making me forget that I was the oldest person in the room. Sarah's Aunt Mona

My favorite memories of my brother are from when I would go stay with him and Sarah for a week every month or so. He was always making jokes, it was never a dull moment. We werent super close growing up but in the last 5 or so years we got closer. He would call and talk to me for an hour or so about how he wanted me to succeed in life and that he was always thinking about me and worrying about me. He was truly a kind soul. I just wish i had gotten closer to him earlier. He will forever be in all of our hearts, blasting some crazy music and screaming it at the top of his lungs while he air guitared or air drummed.
