Alex- you were the person that inspired me to carry on into Higher Education when you came into HRC College Turnford back in 2018, I was inspired by what you spoke about regarding the foundation degree and now I have just finished my Master's with a Commendation. Without your support & effort with all of the students at HRC, I doubt I would have pursued my degree. May you RIP. xxx

Alex, you were extremely supportive when I joined NHC. We looked out for each other when we faced challenging times. Despite this, we had some brilliant moments where we could laugh. You were a good friend. It was a pleasure to have known you. Now that you are an Angel, I hope that you have now found peace.

RIP Alex, still can’t believe you have gone, you was one of first few friends at secondary school and always brought a smile to my face. Our walk homes after school where always a good laugh and it brought me such joy when you really come out of your shell in 6th form with you funny jokes and positive attitude. Thoughts are with your family and friends wish we could have caught up more on adult life :-(. Sending lots of love to your close family’s and friends in this painful time xxxx

Always a pleasure to be around and great laughs that Gemma, you and I used to have... especially our outings to Spoons, Letchworth, where you attempted to get me the Bear Grylls book.
I will always remember you as a delightful gentle giant of a man.

I was in shock to hear of Alex's sudden passing. So young, my condolences to his family and friends. I worked with Alex in my role with the Uni of Bedfordshire and he was my main contact point for BCG. I always enjoyed working with Alex, even when he was giving me a hard work wise time. He worked so hard and truly cared. He was passionate and went the extra step. Alex will be sorely missed by all those that knew him, I am sorry not to have the chance to chat to him again.

Alex! You are one of the kindest persons I have ever had the pleasure of working with throughout my career. On my first day at work, you welcomed me with a warm smile that remains vivid in my memory. It is still difficult for me to believe that you have departed from our world. I discovered that you were brimming with ideas and dreams aimed at making a difference to other people’s lives, particularly through your work for the college. Within the short engagement I had with you in this transitory life, our informal discussion went around a variety of topics that I enjoyed most and enlightened me in numerous ways. Thus, you have created everlasting memories not only in my mind, but also, I believe, in minds of many colleagues. As a kind-hearted jolly person, I realised that you were even more remarkable than your name and fame suggested. You left us with dreams and inspirations that will continue to shape your legacy here at the Bedford College Group and beyond. You will be remembered as a caring colleague and friend. Rest in peace!
Faye Williams
I will never forget whenever I walked past your office I would have a sneaky peak in, as I knew if you were there I couldn't resist disturbing you for a chat, a gossip and always a giggle! You were such an amazing guy Alex and I know you are going to missed by so many. RIP you wonderful man. Xx

The loss of someone so integral to our community and to me personally is deeply felt. My thoughts were overwhelmed by our shared moments and the loss of what was to come. I extend my deepest condolences to Alex's family and all of us touched by his warmth and wisdom.
Rest in peace, Alex. Your absence leaves a void that cannot be filled. In this time of grief, I am grateful for the support services provided and may take solace in the comfort they offer.
For Alex:
In the silence, hear our shared dreams,
Echoes of laughter, in scholarly streams.
Look through the words, our visions unfurled,
A legacy lasting, in the academic world.
His wisdom in print, on pages we share,
A mission of learning, beyond compare.
He’s not gone in spirit, his insights we hold,
In every line written, his story is told.
With sincerest sadness,
Atheer Mahir

I am deeply saddened to hear about the loss of a dear friend and colleague. Your humour, care, love brighten my days working at HRC, making every moment spent together truly special. The memories we created especially during our student trip to Iceland in 2019, are forever in my heart. May your spirit continue to bring joy to those fortunate enough to know and with you. My thoughts and condolences go out to your family and loved ones during this difficult time.

Alex was unforgettable for his generosity, his helpfulness and his ease to be around. He took great pride in his work. Whilst at North Herts College, His room was full of his posters. I remember he said these belong to me! And now there is a thriving industry on materials produced by teachers. I hope he got his piece of the pie. A wonderful person who will be sorely missed.
Abby Redford
I spent many Open Events with you, Alex; you were always such a larger-than-life character, both entertaining and encouraging. I will never forget you reaching out to me when I needed it - that meant so much and I never got a chance to thank you. You will be missed. RIP
Wendy Cook
Rest in peace, lovely man.
