Alex Burton was a friend of mine, he lived two streets away from me and we went to school together. Alex has always been such a nice guy, so kind and accepting of everyone. It didnt matter if you were fat, skinny, white, black, short, tall, crazy, senile, or boring. He'd be your friend. Alex was always good for a laugh, he was the kind of guy who'd be up for anything (like toilet papering the neighbor's house at 2am..) You shouldnt be shocked by this because everyone in the Burton/Loveless Family are wonderful people. I love them all dearly.
Alex had cancer. He fought it like a champ! Never giving up even when life was giving him hell. He was an example to all of us, and I am so grateful to have known him. I hope that he is climbing taller mountains then we could ever possibly imagine!
His sister Sara has blogged about him a little bit, here is her blog: Life Wells Lived

Also, another friend of Alex's posted this in her blog: Marie's Moments
I just wanted to tell her thank you for posting your experiences with Alex! I cried the whole way through. Unfortunately, I was not able to visit Alex in his last few weeks. My life was crazy, and that was my excuse. I had no time. I had surgery and was bedridden for days. My family was in town, excuses excuses. Now all of this seems pointless, selfish. My friend had limited time left here and I blew my chance. I hope that he can forgive me. I want to take this time to send a spiritual hug his way!! Al, I love ya man, and Im so grateful for thr friendship that we had! I know you have more important missions to do on the other side, and thats great. I want you to know that you will be greatly missed, we will think of you often, and miss you always.
Til we meet again my friend.
