The Alex DeLeo Memorial Fund

Sadly our son Alex DeLeo passed away peacefully after a life-long battle with Cystic Fibrosis on Monday August 17th, 2020 at Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in Boston. Alex attended and graduated from the Landmark School in Beverly Farms and also was a student at Salem State University studying Health and Medical sciences. .He was also a certified EMT. Alex lived and experienced more in the short 24 years of his life than most people could live in an entire lifetime. He was the kindest, smartest, talented and most selfless person you that could have ever met. Alex never complained over the years when dealing with CF. Even during the last 8 weeks of his life in the hospital he never complained once even while it was obvious he was suffering in severe pain. Throughout his life he was always concerned with everyone else around him and was always selfless. The positive energy he always projected was so amazing and contagious that most people who had the pleasure to meet him would always be in awe of his strength and the kindness that he illuminated. Alex was a very special young man that will always be remembered by all the ones he touched in his life. Alex also enjoyed the many trips up north in the wilderness with his friends and his many Family vacations. He was also very accomplished musician who enjoyed recording his own music. Son you are now pain free and will no longer have to suffer. You will always be among us and forever loved by your family and many friends. You are forever our hero Alex! Love Mom, Dad and brother Zachary.
