I had a crush on Alex while we were working together. He was excellent at what he did, dedicated and principled. His values were reflected in his work choices, eg he would only work on open source software. He was putting in more effort than anyone else, and still had time to help others out. He was understated and humble, and I don't think he knew how exceptional he was.

Alex was such a joy to work around, we shared many ideas and worked together on some amazing things, I learnt so much from him and he will always have a special place in my memories. Thank you for the time we got to spend together mate, your impact on this world will not be forgotten.

Alex was such a hero. There was a long time over which he showed up for me every single day in ways that no one else ever has. He was endlessly supportive and always so respectful. When I try to pay it forward, I often think about how Alex might have responded, and just how special he is.

Something I’ll always look up to in Alex is how patiently and willingly he would ‘hold space’ with someone. Today I was reading some messages with Alex in his early twenties and what immediately shone through, alongside his humour, was his insight and sensitivity. It reminded me again of how far beyond his years Alex was. I’m grateful for everything that those conversations carried and the parts of himself that he shared. They are so precious to me.

I am terribly sorry to find out about the passing of Alex. I knew Alex from highschool and remember him as a thoughtful, kind and generous person. I remembered we shared the music we liked, and borrowed CDs from eachother. I'll always think about Alex when re-listening to those albums. I'm sending love to his family during this difficult time.

As a school mate at Gosford High I will always remember Alex’s beautiful nature. So kind and caring, humble, so intelligent and gentle. Sending love to all those close to him.

Alex will be so missed. He was taken far too soon, and as someone else said, the world is a worse place without him here. I met Alex back in university as we started out doing computer science in the same classes. He was smart, caring, and showed great dedication at being good at what he did.
I was recently going back over our earliest messages, and laughed at his dismay at getting 91/100 for a programming course because someone else in the class got 93. For Alex, he could have done better. Alex wanted to push himself. He wanted to be great.
And he showed greatest over these last few years. I will never forget the bravery he showed when facing his diagnosis. We all can learn from him.
I'm so sorry I wasn't able to attend the ceremony today. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you all in your grief, and also in your celebration of his life.

Alex was a very thoughtful, kind and gentle person. I remember when I used to spend Christmas many years ago with the whole family and Alex was always open to any conversation, intelligent, witty and funny. I think it was his lovely combination of intellect, kindness and showing that he genuinely cared about other people, that made him a unique and wonderful young man. He will be truly missed. xx

There are very few people in life whom I trust, and Alex was one of them. I always felt safe with him. As well as having a mind like the universe and being immensely thoughtful in every way, Alex also made me feel that he truly cared about me, and that he’d be there if I turned to him. It was about 20 years ago when I told myself I’d always have time for Alex, and that will never change. Thank you so much to every person who has loved and appreciated him.

I was so sorry to hear about Alex's passing. I attended Gosford High with him and remember him to be a lovely thoughtful person, so kind in his own quiet way. Passing on my thoughts to Alex's family in such a difficult time.

My main memory of Alex is how he was so quietly kind. At one point in high school I was really struggling with my body. Alex messaged me out of the blue one evening to share his concern and support. He was so compassionate and understanding, and his words had a real affect on me and I still think of them often. The world is a worse place for not having him in it.
