    Alexander was stricken with a perforated ulcer on Nov. 26, 2007, and became critically ill and had to be care flighted to Cook Children's Hospital for emergency care where he was brought back to life after 47 minutes without a heartbeat, resulting in brain trauma. Released from Cook's on December 13, he spent nine months fighting to regain all he had lost and was making outstanding progress thanks to many volunteers and rehab nurses for which the family will forever be grateful.
    Alexander touched thousands of people's hearts with his perseverance and fighting spirit received through the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ. The family is thankful to God for Alexander's life and especially thankful for the last nine months. We were able to see his beautiful smile again and witness courageous strength as Alex accomplished many things the doctors said he would never do. We Love you Alex and know you will always be with us. The family is especially thankful for all of the thousands of prayers and donations made on his behalf from all over the United States.

Alex is also survived by numerous great aunts, uncles and cousins.
