Still struggling with the reality that you are gone, Alex.

From the laughter to the conversations, the random moments, the brotherhood, and all the memories we shared in this industry… this one hurts deeply.

I was there. I saw you still smiling even in death. I saw the tears from friends and family. And honestly, a part of me is still in shock.

Rest well, my brother.
You will be remembered beyond the lights, the cameras, and the fame”.
