They sent over heavy shell fire but didn't hurt any of us. Shells bursted all around me. While we were seeking shelter from their shells in the basement of a building, shells came through the roof. When we were sent out as a working part to do some work that had to be done, shells bursted so close to me they threw dirt all over me. They were close enough for me. One night we were sent over to the German trenches. We must have gone down the trench for 100 yards before we saw a German. They discovered us and threw hand grenades. One struck the top of the trench right by me and I was covered with dirt. We all were lucky in getting back."

Alex attended school at Eunice Thomas Elementary School in Cassville, Missouri, Stucky Middle School in Park City, Kansas and completed up to 11th grade at Heights High School in Wichita, Kansas. He never had a passion for school, but he had a great passion for backyard wrestling. Alex began wrestling when he was living in Park City. Alexander, AKA Chris Chaos would go onto to join the Oklahoma Boxing Commission in wrestling from 2009 to 2011. He held multiple titles and championships with his childhood teammate Bobby Thomas, AKA Bobby Starr. Alex was also known for his love of rock music. Specifically, Metallica, Slipknot and one country song, 'Humble and Kind" by Tim McGraw. He also enjoyed camping, fishing, bonfires, bottle rocket contests with his nieces and nephews and really enjoyed getting tattoos. Alex was a BIG movie buff! His movie obsession included "Batman," "Pink Floyd the Wall" and strangely enough "A Clockwork Orange". His movie obsession really surfaced when he saw the movie "Fight Club" with Brad Pitt. Alex even altered his looks for a bit to look like Brad Pitt. Alex had numerous things in his life that he loved, but none would compare to the LOVE that we all knew he had for his daughter! He worked in construction, line work at Georges, food service and even car sales, but most of his adult life Alex worked in customer service. At the time of his passing, he was working at Circle K Truck Stop, located in Park City, KS. Alex attended Merl's Chapel Freewill Baptist Church and was baptized in Flat Creek when he was a child. As an adult Alex attended Realife Worship in Cassville. He hated to ask for help, but he would give you his shirt off his back and go without if you really needed it. Alex had a big heart. He brought home many turtles, scorpions, cats, doggies and even people that needed shelter. He always kept his mom on her toes. She will forever be proud of the Good God-Fearing Man that he grew up to be: "Be loyal" and "Go Big or Go Home." Alex did it big or not at all! He stood fearless. | Fohn Funeral Home L.
