Taken too early in life, this memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Alexander Julian Huertas, 8, born on March 5, 2005 and passed away on August 24, 2013.
Alex was one of the best son's any mother or father could have wished for. His love for life, his love for his family and friends, ambition to learn and his warm heart, and his desire to please everyone he came in contact with is what made him so special to us and the community he left behind.
It has been astounding to us as a family to see how at 8 years old Alex was able to touch so many lives. During his short time here, He has left a legacy of kindness and compassion that will live on in his honor. As a family we are proud of Alex's example that one person can make such a difference in the world. His life is a testament that kindness, compassion and love resonates beyond time.
The 8 years of joy he brought to our family is a void that can never be refilled. Taken and given his wings, he will be an angel to all of us. Until we take our own last breaths within our life own lives, we're only separated by time from this point on...
We love you and miss you,
Mom, Dad, Gavin and Nathaniel

The Huertas Family
As I was sitting next to you for lunch on July 27th, all of the kids were exploring the cabin, but you where having lunch quietly and peacefully. I took a seat next to you and there you were having a burger without cheese, with a side of cut up onion's, raw Onion's. I remember turning around and saying something to your dad that was so busy BBQing and your mom that was making her dieting food :) and telling them how strange it was for an 8 year old kid to eat raw onions. But, instead, I silently smiled and kept eating while I watched you eat, since it was just me and you at the table. You looked up at me and smiled back at me with your cheeks full of food. I will never forget that moment. It was as if you knew what I was thinking.
Everytime I close my eyes all I see is you in that moment, and I smile to my self. Because out of all the times that you came over to my house and I went over yours that was the one moment that we were able to connect in a sweet silly way. Since you were always on the go with Aidan and Gavin it was impossible to just sit and talk. I still imagine you running up the stairs from my house and asking me for juice or an ice cream sandwich. The little time we had to know you will always be engraved in our hearts, and we truly miss you dearly. Only you can see how sad we are that you are not physically here, but I try to find comfort that your spirit is always with us. I will always remember your smile, your face and your sweet way to be.
