Alex was born May 17, 2007, in Gainesville to Danny and Jonie (Sills) Ritchey.?? We knew Alex a.k.a Spiderman, was very special from the day he was born. His presence was known wherever he was because of his overflowing, abundant personality. He had this ability to make you laugh at pretty much anything he did even when he was The Hulk and he crinkled his nose, put a grimace on his face, flexed his muscles and yelled, “I’m so angry!” You couldn’t help but laugh. He was loved by everyone but especially by his family. Though he is not here on Earth with us we know where he is. He is in Heaven with our loved ones that have gone on before us including his Uncle John that loved him very, very much.
