Alex was born in Oxford, North Carolina on January 19, 1993, to Ray Todd and Katie (Kamerick) Vos. He attended Knoxville High School, graduating with the class of 2011.
In his younger days, Alex enjoyed playing sports. Whether it was basketball, baseball, or football; Alex was always staying active. As he became an adult, he loved playing golf. He loved cheering on his Cubs, Blackhawks, Bears, or Hawkeyes whenever they played.
Alex loved movies, whether it was going to the theater or watching at home. He was a big fan of Denzel Washington and would watch Equalizer movies every day if he could. He could recite the director, actor, or the year a movie came out.
Music was also a big part of his life. He enjoyed listening to various artists, but Eminem was his favorite. He enjoyed sharing songs with his friends or family if he thought they could relate to the lyrics.
He was passionate about history, watching documentaries and reading books on many historical events. Alex enjoyed playing old-school card games, such as solitaire or UNO.
He used video games as a way to catch up with friends. Alex and Bre were fortunate to be able to travel to various places. One of his favorite trips with Bre was to Maine. It was there he showed her his love of concerts, enjoying Hootie and the Blowfish.
Alex was a special kind of person who made friends with anyone he met. He was always there to listen when a friend needed to talk. He had a special way of making people feel comfortable enough to tell him anything. Alex was always there for kind words and never passed judgement.
Alex sincerely cared deeply for those around him. His sense of humor could light up any room. His hilarious one-liners, delivered in his deadpan style, could always get a good laugh.
