Beautifying Communities and Improving Lives, Together.
ABOUT THE FOUNDATION:
Our family never expected to experience a loss this great. Alex is the youngest son in our family. We lost him at the age of 20, still in his young years and establishing his way through life. Alex's family wants to carry on the golden heart Alex has by giving back in many ways. As we enter into 2025, we look for ways to engage in community activities and represent for Alex as he would if he were here with us. We will keep you updated with activities and always welcome any support you can provide. Thank you all for assisting us carry on Alex's spirit of giving. Much love.
ABOUT ALEX:
Alex graduated from Red Mountain H.S. in Mesa, AZ. Class of 2022. Alex was attending college and doing dual credits while a junior and senior in high school. Once Alex graduated, he immediately continued working on his pre-requisites and pursuing a degree towards nursing. Alex attended Arizona State University, lived in the dorms while in the Barrett's Honor College. Pictured, Ivory and Alex. Ivory is Alex's BIG "baby" and didn't mind cleaning up for this photoshoot! Alex loved nature and animals of all sizes!
Alex looked forward to all holidays each year and took every chance he could to celebrate them. Pictured, Alex and his favorite kitty, Megumi. Megumi didn't mind being Royal for the photoshoot.
We almost made our limit this day! We fished in Woods Canyon Lake, one of Alex's favorite places to visit. Not only for the fishing but Alex loved hiking around the lake, cleaning up litter and spotting the bald eagles swoop down and grab a trout for lunch!

Adopt a Highway
August 2024
In August 2024, we were approved by ADOT for the Adopt a Highway program. Our "mile" is in Florence, AZ, mile marker 132-133. This location is on the 79 south, heading out of town right before the Florence Cemetary. The program requires us to clean both sides of the 79, picking up trash/debris and keeping this area looking good.
We completed our first cleanup in August. It was hard and is not fair we have to do this in Alex's memory but we are thankful we were able to get approved to do this. This is now our section and we will clean it up a couple times each year.
February 2025
This was our 2nd roadside cleanup. Several family and friends showed up to help us keep Florence cleaner.
Next one will be in May.
