Alex even engineered the layout of his dorm room, drawing out how he wanted everything to be organized, said freshman computer engineering major Christopher Perry, Alex's roommate and friend. "Alex was fun to be around, he'd always make you laugh," he said.
Alex's sister Lauren, 16, wrote a speech to her brother, which she read at the memorial in England and the service held in Katy.
"The definition of the name Alex is a caring person and a defender of good causes. He enjoys travel and adventure, but he is happiest at home. He is a protector," Lauren said in her speech. "You were and always will be my protector."
After an autopsy, it was determined that Alex was wearing a seat belt during the accident, Lytle said. The police report has been changed as it had originally reported that he had not been wearing a seatbelt.
"He will always have a special place in our hearts," said sophomore agricultural journalism and communications major Melanie Orth, "we are always thinking about him."
Douglas and Kim Kirk said they were thankful of the support from the Aggie family, the University and the local Aggie Moms' Club.
