It is with profound sadness that we share the news of the passing of Alex Hessler, a beloved member of the freshman football team at FJ Reitz High School, who tragically lost his life on November 16th following a car accident.
Alex was a bright and caring young man whose warmth and kindness touched everyone around him. Known for his friendly spirit and contagious smile, he formed lasting friendships and brought joy to his teammates, classmates, and teachers alike. His dedication, both on and off the field, made him a valued member of the Reitz community.
The Reitz family mourns the loss of a life taken far too soon. Alex’s presence in the halls, on the football field, and in the lives of those around him will be deeply missed. His laughter, compassion, and generous heart left an enduring impact that will not be forgotten.
We ask that the community keep Alex’s family, friends, and peers in your thoughts and prayers as they navigate this difficult and heartbreaking time. May they find comfort in the love and support of the Reitz family and the wider community.
Though his time with us was far too brief, Alex Hessler’s memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. His spirit, kindness, and light will forever be remembered.
Alex, you will remain forever in our hearts. Rest in peace.
