R.I.P Young Alex 12th July 1988 - 18th April 2007 Page 1

The Man

Alex was a really great lad, training to be a chef, his ambition was to own his own restaurant oneday.
He had been an enthusiastic helper at Barrel events, coming along with his Mum & Dad since he was 13 years old.
When he was 16, he passed his CBT and put in a club membership form. The other club members had so much respect for Alex, that for the first time in club history he was voted into the club straight away, becoming the youngest ever person in Barrel history to become a Full Club Member.
Alex was a real character in the club, he was up for anything and would often take part in Rally Games etc, and loved to party and dance with the ladies in Rally Marquees.
He would always go out of his way to help friends out; he once rode his 50cc bike from Luton to Milton Keynes, to show a friend how to make scrambled egg!
If he knew anybody was working on a bike, he would be there to help and learn from those with more experience.
In short, everybody that knew Alex well, talked of him as a friend, and he loved to make new friends.
His enthusiasm for the David Cooper and Jumbo Runs, was typical Alex, always willing to help anybody he could.

He died while helping a friend, an epitaph for any man to be proud of.
