Alexander Black

Black, Alexander Jason MADISON Alexander Jason Black, born June 23, 1977, died unexpectedly on Monday Oct. 13, 2008. This corner of our world lost a good man. Big hearted and funny was how everyone described Alex. He would help anyone who had a need. He liked to live life on the edge, racing and sports cars, paint balling, showed no fear, embrace life, look for all the adventures but stay connected to family and friends was how he chose to live. Alex had recently become engaged to Krista Hefty who said the light of her life was gone. He had dreams of their life and was going back to college to become a construction manager and was designing their future home. Alex had been in the architect program at MATC for a couple of years but didnt complete it due to working so much. He learned a great deal because he was very proud of the addition on his parents house that he designed, organized and helped to build. He went to Frank Allis, Sennett and La Follette High Schools graduating in 1995 and attended St. Dennis Church. His first job was with Gaylords catering, where he learned his work skills along with helping his dad with a million projects. He worked at Pizza Hut, Big Mikes, security at the Marriot and the Buckeye Inn and his last position was at Mr. Roberts. He is survived by his parents, Bill and Teri Black; his brother, Jeff; grandparents, Mary Williams, and Don and Betty Black; aunts and uncles, Dave and Joyce Williams, George and Kathy Williams, Trudi and Brad Carlson, John Williams, and Bunny and Norm Lenburg, Kathy and Tom Lehman, Jane and Tony Mellini, and Ron Black. H e had many cousins in his large extended family. He lost his grandfather George Williams and his Aunt Toni Williams. Alex loved his family, Krista and friends, playing pool, movies, karaoke, hunting, fishing and archery. Alex will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
