Alexander “AJ” Feliciano was truly an amazing person, born 23 years ago on this day. He had a contagious laugh and was very outgoing, and whenever he got into his giggle fits, everyone around him would start laughing without even knowing why. AJ was an excellent soccer player and a great goalkeeper who always motivated his team. He was also a talented musician, playing the saxophone and being self-taught in other instruments like the piano. Despite being a bit of a loner, AJ’s gaming community loved him, and he could spend hours playing World of Warcraft. Family was everything to AJ, especially his brother Adrian. Though the loss of AJ has left a void in the lives of everyone who knew him and his family, his legacy lives on. AJ was a kind and generous soul who was always willing to help others. He would give away his last dollar and the shirt off his back to anyone who needed it, without expecting anything in return. Thanks to his donation, we know that he still lives on today! A beautiful quilt patch has been made in honor of AJ’s memory, consisting of his favorite color, red. The red and black borders surrounding his photo are from his marching and jazz band ties. The staff represents his love of music, and the Akatsuki clouds represent his love for his gaming community and his allegiance for justice and equality. Happy Heavenly Birthday, AJ. You will always be remembered with love and fondness in our hearts.
