His friends and teachers alike remember him as someone who could lift the spirits of those around him with a simple smile, a kind word, or a joke at just the right moment.
Alec’s family remembers him as a devoted son to Jeff and Susan Meyer, who were central to his life and who nurtured his faith, curiosity, and enthusiasm. He shared a particularly close bond with his best friend, Brittany, who stood by his side through life’s joys and challenges. Those who knew Alec remember him as fiercely loyal, endlessly caring, and always ready to support the people he loved. He had a way of making everyone feel seen and valued, and his joy was infectious.
Alec’s life, though tragically short, was marked by an incredible zest for living. He had a contagious smile and an energy that brightened every room he entered. Whether participating in school activities, volunteering in the community, or spending time with his friends and family, Alec brought laughter, light, and a sense of togetherness. His love for life was evident in every interaction, and his absence will be deeply felt across the Utah community and among the Skaggs Catholic Center alumni who remember his unwavering positivity.
