Xander was an amazing and impressive guy. He always supported our local music scene. He was constantly hustling and creatively finding new ways to make money. Didn’t have a lazy bone in his body. Loved humanity and freedom. I’m gonna miss Xander a lot. I just learned of the news this morning and I am absolutely devastated. Where’s all the media coverage on the story? Xander is most definitely in a better place with God. I’m so sorry to his family. I can’t imagine the pain. My thoughts, love and prayers are with you all.

I am absolutely shocked by this news. I met Xander at a party early 2023 and we chatted about life and ultimately Real Estate. He needed help selling one if his condos on Nelson and Pulaski and we got that done in June 2023.  We stayed in touch. He was was such a hard working guy and always had new ideas about careers, making money, etc. So much energy! Seemed that his recent gig in modeling was really taking off, I would see his photo shoots on facebook on a regular basis.  Absolute tragedy! My condolences to Tori and his entire family

Xander was an amazing friend to work with on set. Through shows and a film, Xander was always there to guide me through and lighten the mood all around. Xander was very talented and charismatic and seeing him give 100% out on set was inspiring. He’ll be missed. My condolences.

Very kind hearted soul who was always so respectful, focused, and hard-working. I worked with him on a number of sets and he always had so much ambition and curiosity in his mind that we instantly became friends. I’m thankful to have met him, and I hope he rest in peace.

How tragic and heart breaking. Xander was one of my top go to guys in commercials and movies. I always knew when I cast him that he would be there and be professional. These productions were lucky to have him on set and I was proud he was in our roster, along with Tori. Tori, my deapest sympathies go to you and his family. Two beautiful, kind people🩵

I met Xander once but that one time is all it took for him to make a big impression and to learn that he is a beautiful person inside and out. I got to meet him and Tori at a photoshoot and I remember how he took the time to actually talk to people and listen to what they were saying. He said something like...he liked to ask people about their passions because it helped people connect and it was just wholesome to see someone open up about their interests. I remember him asking all these thoughtful questions about gelato because we had a gelato cart guy at the shoot.  The gelato cart guy was in a bad mood because he was annoyed by the parking situation but when Xander started asking him questions about gelato, the guy's mood noticeably improved. This is an unfathomable tragedy.

My sincere condolences to Xander's family.

Xander was a remarkable young man.  We were always amazed at his entrepreneurial spirit.  He spent a lot of time in our home with Daniel, and we saw first hand his passion to learn, energy to do and pioneer spirit in every endeavor.  Even as a high school student, he would engage Neil and I in philosophical conversation and we would discuss Russian literature, Nietzsche and faith.  He was like a brother to Daniel.  He will be missed.   His light still shines in our hearts and his passing leaves a true void.  Our prayers are with you all.
