Alex Schmidt Tribute

Alex died tragically in a dirt bike accident .  He and two friends headed into a wooded area to do some riding.  Alex lost control of the off-road motorcycle that he was driving and struck a tree.  He wasn't wearing a helmet at the time.

This had been a particularly happy day for him as he had just gotten a new electric guitar.  He was a talented musician.


He'll be missed by his family and friends.
