Goodbye Alex.

a wonderful picture... :-)

A great picture - I still love that smile

Thinking of you. Thank you for the charity details.

Thanks Mat for putting this up, your help much appreciated ...

A great loss and handsome too. Thanks also for the charity details.

he will be missed alot on moblog. i was always impressed by his blog and clarity of what he was going through.

my thoughts are with his family.

Best wishes to you all.

This is a gorgeous picture too.

Feelings and Love with you, the family.

Take care Alex dude.

I will always remember Alex, he was a vibrant and inspirational member of the moblog community, and we will all miss his humour and spirit. So sorry for your loss.

Alex was a wonderful person, he will be missed. My best to Alex's family. Safe journey, Alex.

How good to see him standing there, looking so fine.

This is so hard.

So sorry for your loss. Words fail.

My very best wishes to you Alex's family. May your future be illuminated by the wonderful memories of the years that Alex was with you, may you always find comfort.

Alex will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the Saville Family.

God bless, god speed!!

Very sad and so tragic for one so young...

That's a lovely pic, and that's how I am going to remember Alex .... great jacket .... much love ...

once again, thoughts go to alex's family.

that is a brilliant picture to remember him by - a lovely smile, quirky style, along with being all round nice chap

Guy was a soldier in many ways so the jacket is apt.

very sad. :(

What a lovely picture of Alex ,such a handsome guy! He will be missed so much by everyone asssociated with him.
Dear Alex.

I love the jacket. Very fitting - I agree with what DocD said - he was a soldier.

I am incredibly sad, and while I didn't *know* Alex, I felt like I knew Alex. Thank you so much for sharing with us. You gave me so much hope.

Gods bless, Alex. I'm going to miss you so very much.

The dude looks a million dollars and some change!
I'm in the same position as hotdog, snookered by the rules of donorship - I find it painfully ironic that those of us who have had our lives saved by the blood of others are now not allowed to give back. I 'm also stymied by the belief that the NHS should be funded by the state and not have to be propped up by charity, but I get round that one by doing sponsored things and giving the proceeds from that to an appropriate cause. Alex will live in my mind for a long time so I'll be doing stuff for the mentioned charities.

he looks like nick swardson

alex, you're looking very adam-ant in that coat, man, and i think i like it!

much love & strength to Tim, Jenny, Chris, and the family. my thoughts, and deepest sympathies are with you all.

vaya con dios alex. see you another time.

Such a sad end.

He was wonderful to know and to see here on the site. It's sad that he's gone. My heart goes with you, his family.

WERENT CLOSE MATES BUT KNOWING YOU WAS ENOUGH

R.I.P MATE YOUR IN A BETTER PLAVE NOW

R.I.P

Good to see Alex looking strong and upright at the end.

Thanks again for a wonderfully happy and hopeful blog, you'll always be a moblog legend.

That's a lovely pic to remember him by. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Alex.

What a beautiful picture. My thoughts are with you his family.
Thanks Alex for this amazing blog.

Goodbye Alex soldier on x

This is a beautiful picture, thank you for sharing it with us. While I didn't know Alex beyond his moblog I was touched by his courage, strength and humor. Gods speed on his journey and he will live on in all that love him.

So sorry you're gone Alex. My deepest sympathies for all his family and friends.

To Jenny ,Tim ,Chris and Grandparents,
Alex's service was lovely, very personal and it was marvellous seeing so many people turn out for Alex.
Our thoughts are with you and all your family.

Peace be with you all at this time

Didn't know him, found this link from Dhamaka's page, but am still very sorry to hear this.

Glad that many here made friends with him and kept him smiling (and sounds like he reciprocated! :-)

May he rest in peace.

I've been friends with Alex for a long time now, and over the past year have watched him cope with this horrible disease with the best of wit and dignity. We all hoped he would pull through so this just seems unreal. He really was one in a million. Love you Alex xxx

Very sorry to hear Alex is gone. My thoughts are with you all at this time.

Great pic great Lad :-)

alex is going to be sorely missed by so many. even though i didnt know him as well as i could have... i, like everyone else, have many fond memories of him and his positive energy.
i will definately be donating to the charity.
xxxx

It was wonderful that so many people were able to come to the funeral yesterday. Alex would have been amazed to see so many friends gathered together. thank you to everyone who came.

You were truely an amazing person, ill neva forget the times we spent togetha in school. And the numerous renditions of many different songs including lets stay togetha by Al greene. I wish i had had a chance to say goodbye. Always in my heart xxx

From Italy... someone pray for you.

I saw and heard Alex sing at a couple of school events and I marvelled at his voice and good looks. He certainly had all the mum's there wanting to mother him. I've only just found out and read Alex's blog and his strength shines through all the pain. He is free of it now but leaves behind a gap in many, many peoples hearts.

I have been reading Alex's moblog for a long time – Since his passing, I keep checking it. It is as though it has all been a mistake. He was so young and so full of life. Its odd how someone that I've never met has weighed so heavily on me.

I am so sorry for his passing and for your/our loss. Alex was one of a kind and will be remember by those he's never met.

The loss of a loved one is never an easy thing.

I just wanted to say how sorry I am on the passing of your son. Losing a son is hard and I just wanted you to know that I am praying for your family during this time of grief.

Again, my deepest sympathies to you and your family.

Julie and I have popped in to check alex's moblog every now and again, and you are absolutely right, he never once seemed to lose his sense of humour.

My sympathies to the family, and may alex live on forever in people's hearts and minds.

I'm very pleased to tell you that the Elimination of Leukaemia Fund is planning a gig in memory of Alex, who was very interested in music and who sang with a band himself. It will feature The MooN, a UK based band, and will take place at The Venue, 2 Clifton Rise, New Cross, London SE14 on 23 February.

If anyone is interested, please ring ELF on 020 8778 5353. Apparently it's an over 18 venue.

Alex rocked! I seen him at loads of concerts performing with great skill and charisma. A sound guy, humble, interesting, bright, talanted, friendly + full of beans, im pleased i had the priverlidge of knowing him and wish i could of known him better. Respect 2 Chris and Kate 4 there tribute at the funarul...insperational, ...god bless u both + im sure Alex would have been proud of you boath. Such a shame, so un-just, my prayers r with u all

we will never forget you alex, ican say that i was one of the luckiest person to have known you even we just met in the hospital, and i'm so grateful indeed to have such unique opportunity to look after you. from all the staff of davidson and derekmitchell ward, we wish you eternal peace and our prayers will be with you. Godbless and condolences to the family.

thank you so much. All the staff in davidson and derek mitchell and the HOP were so wonderfully kind. I know Alex appreciated this greatly, felt very close to and counted many of you amongst his friends. You probably know that we asked that people who wished to do so should donate in Alex's memory to the Elimination of Leukaemia Fund and we asked that some the money should be for use at King's.

Hi,
I am a really good friend of Amy Jackson's and so heard about Alex through her. I am truly sorry for your loss, I have spent the last hour looking at his blog and he seems like an extraordinary boy. I can't believe how positive he remained throughout, and I know on a personal level how difficult living with a blood disease can be.
On the day of Alex's death my dad went into the DMU, after his hodgekins lymphoma returned. He's was in and out all last year, and is in King's again this month in one of the isolation units with no immune system. He often talks, when at home, of the pain and boredom Alex writes about, and I think ELF is such a brilliant idea, and I will be asking my mum and dad about donating to the fund when he returns, because he especially should know the difference something as small as a fridge can make when you are stuck in the ward.
my thoughts are with you.

Alex was really someone to look up to. He was in an older year at school but he was ALWAYS nice to everyone, regardless of their age or anything. He was a wicked gardener, a great singer and if I will always think of him. I would be proud to be like him and have his courage and humour. I am registering to be a stem cell donor and I think everyone should because it takes nothing and could mean the world. Alex, I'll think of you when we're doing anything musical in the world, you were absolutely the best.

Jonathan, so good to hear you are registering as a stem cell donor .... I think that is probably the best thing you can do in remembrance of Alex .... :)

Jonathan, thank you so much for your lovely comments and for registering as a stem cell donor. That's really great.

Noticed it was Alex's Moblog anniversary ..... so thought I'd make a visit ......

Yep, 365 days,.... a year,... nice to read through some of the posts.

Hi,

I worked on City Hospital - Alex was an inspiration to a lot of people.

Andy.

Andy, you say that you worked on 'City Hospital'. In what capacity? Do the 'City Hospital' people, e.g. Ulrika, know what happened to Alex?

Thanks to you and other recent posters for your kind messages.

Just wanted to say hello on the blog to Jenny,John ,Tim and the grandparents . We think of Alex often. It's nice to see Alex's blog still being viewed.

Same as nige, just dropped in :)

I think of this as a memorial to Alex but I learnt the other day that his old school have planted a tree in memory of him and I would like to thank them all for that. It's quite an honour.

A tree for a Alex, what a lovely gift from his school. Cheers to Aex!!!

Still thinking of the mate

meant to say: 'Still thinking of you mate'

Hi to Alex ,lots of lovely rain today for your Graveney tree!

Yur pink shirt is here in Kenya with me,.. if I keep loosing weight in the speed I have been loosing it for the last month I might be able to wear it in a year :p

Exciting, and one hell of an experience. ;)

On 1st December Alex would have been 21. It's nearly a year now since his death.

here's to Alex then.

Time flies, but reading this back still feels like it's just a few days ago.

To Alex.

Happy Birthday to Alex, the sun is shining for 'you' today.

Happy Birthday memories from me too........

Yes, here's to Alex .....

thank you everybody.

Happy Birthday to Alex, thinking of you always xxx

all this fall, and now I remember his blog, those days when he so carefully described the science and everything to us. I really appreciated that effort. I learned a lot.

Can't say happy birthday, but happy memories for sure.

Love Joost

Thinking of you at this time of year.......x

Thank you so much, and of course for supporting and entertaining Alex during his illness. We miss Alex very much but we have lots of happy memories to make us smile, too.

Hello Jenny, Alex's friends and family
I'm thinking of you and of Alex
xx

Remembering Alex today, and thinking of those whom he left behind.

Alex and his family and friends very much in my thoughts today .... Alex could always make us smile, so that is how he is remembered .....

Still missed and always a moblog legend.

nice one man. you're very much in my thoughts.

thank you so very much every one of you, for the kind messages.

He's often in mind. Still raising a smile more often than not.
Hope all good things for you & family in 2008...

I've had a wistful little smile in Alex's memory today. I was very fond of him and think of him often.

Thanks again, to everyone on this blog and to other friends, family, neighbours and colleagues for their huge support over this year.

Thank you too, to all the doctors and nurses and other hospital staff and to the wonderful, people we don't know by name: the many many blood donors and to the 33 year old man, American we think, B Rh Neg, bone marrow donor MNDP-0045-4265-00 who twice donated marrow to Alex, a person completely unknown to him. Thank you all, you will always have a special place in our hearts.

Thinking of you guys..

Thinking of Alex still.. Thanks to Maggie for marking this for us all as well. He does stay in our memory.

I managed to give blood for the first time after many times of trying and not being allowed! I thought of him whilst I was doing it and i'll be giving platelets next if they'll let me :)

bx

I met alex at Kings about 3 weeks into my treatment there, we shared a double room. I was newly diagnosed with ALL and he was in for his top-up, i saw him on the tv the morning i was moved into the bed next to him it was a bit like meeting a celeb as i had heard a lot about him from the nurses and docs (they were obviously very fond of him).
We were about the same age with the same disease so i think they thought i'd benifit from alexs experience (he was a year on into the same treatment), and they were right! Speaking to alex was such a relief he helped me so much, i was still at the stage where i didnt want to kno anything i was too afraid but seeing alex taking control of it by knowing as much info as he could about the whole thing, he made me realise i could help myself and i wasnt just in the doctors hands he made me think very positively! I got to know him very well and he became a good friend in our short time together. I last saw alex december last year the day they let me home for xmas but at the time i didnt really understand how ill he really was (he was cool about it so i assumed the best). It was a very sad loss and i think of him often. Just wanted everyone to kno how much he helped me.

Dear Mike

Thank you for your comments. I do hope you are doing well and that you are on the mend now. I know Alex liked sharing the room with you until you got moved back to Brighton(?). Every good wish for a full recovery. x

Yes Mike ,Alex was incredibly brave and positve with his ALL all the best to you.

One warrior lost but angel gained....you will always be remembered!

Mike, hope that you are doing OK, and I think it comes as no surprise to people on the blog to hear how incredibly supportive Alex was .....

...... Tina, beautifully put, and yes, Alex will always be remembered, here, and in many peoples hearts :)

You are never far from our thoughts, especially in the summer when we shared holidays in Spain & IoW.

Happy Birthday. My thoughts are with you and your family.

I remember your 15th Birthday- happy memories.

xxxxxxxx

My thoughts with are with you and your family today .....

Love and prayers to you and your family!

Thinking of you today, chap. Of your family too.
All good things & best hopes...

Thoughts go to your family and friends on this day

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE x

Thanks very much also from me. I visited Graveney School today and Alex is very fondly remembered there.

As normal, here I am, fashionably late with birthdays.

Almost 2 years have passes, still missed and most definitely not forgotten.

x

Memory of you is as bright as ever.

You're still my 'superhero' .... and most certainly not forgotten here on the blog :)

Definitely not forgotten! That jacket stil looks great too..

when i think of alex i think about when he had dreads at graveney, and how he was always so friendly when people used to feel them and stuff. never got annoyed. and how i used to always see him gardening outside when i was in a science lesson, and the teacher would tell them to be quiet because they were always laughing really loud. he was so cool. i was 2 years below, and he was the kind of person people wanted to be friends with. and you know now he'd not want anyone to be upset over him, he'd get upset if he knew people were.
such a greatgreatgreat person. and he didnt seem to know how special he was.

Thanks again for all your very kind comments. It's good to know that Alex made such an impression on so many people.

forever young...

How is the tree growing?

Back with you :)

Alex, you are constantly in our thoughts. I still see you shoes in the hall, remember the shindy on the scaffold and your boundless love of life.

Just popping in to say hi
My respect for you - which was already high - has increased a million fold this year
xx

Just dropping in to say hello
and send my love
xx

Thanks very much, Dhamaka. It's so good to know that Alex is still remembered. His brother met up with several of Alex's friends today to celebrate him.

Me too, still think of Alex this time of year. I still love this photo too.

Alex, you are still an inspiration to me. I will never forget you. Thank you for ever.

just checking in Alex. I always think of you this time of year.

Hey, tried to drop by yesterday but had problems with the site ...... still in my thoughts :)

just popping in to say hello
(mine too)

Thought of you yesterday while sitting in the garden with your mum and dad :)

Hey, sorry to have missed the date, still in my thoughts

; )

Sorry to have missed the date too. Often in my thoughts, sending you my love xxx

just a couple of days away from the 7th anniversary of your first post to Moblog. Still in my thoughts :)

Great blog, greater guy. Still remembered fondly.

Hello there - remembering you xx

Remember you with a smile
X

Still in my thoughts :)

So glad to see this blog is still here. I'm taking part in a charity walk tomorrow -take a hike cancer- in memory of several people, the incredible Mr Saville being one. For field trips, spider tongue piercings and one of the most beautiful singing voices I know! Xxx

So sorry to see that alex's blog has been swamped with spam.

If there are moderators still working on the site it would be good if they could delete all the spam.

X X

Thanks SLG
I drop by here every so often.
It is good to know that some moderators are still
looking after the site.

Olivia, how dare you use this tribute to our late son Alex to advertise your jerseys and, even worse, on the anniversary of his death. You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

Perhaps the moderators could delete further spam on this page.

Alex was in my form at Graveney for 5 years (7-11H) he just popped into my head today (Marvin Gaye performance) we weren’t close friends but you get to know people over that time and I remember being shocked by his passing. All these years later I googled him and I’m glad to see this page still active. God bless him and his family

I still think of Alex. He is still an inspiration

Years later I still think of Alex on a regular basis. We weren't a huge part of each other's lives but the week at camp and subsequent contact with him made a permanent impact on my life.

Visiting moblog for the first time (I am very young) and stumbled onto this page. I don't know who Alex was, nonetheless I extend my condolences.

Luca all the way from United States, I love Scrapbooking and
rebuilding a Jaguar X-Type also. Things like kingsizemaleenhancement.com was discovered after searching for this website through
Google :)
