Alex Schuh

William Alexander ""Alex"" Schuh Alex was born in Phoenix, Arizona on April 4, 1996. However, the majority of his life, nearly 18 years, was spent in or around Lakewood, Colorado. He attended South Lakewood Elementary, Creighton Middle School and Lakewood High School. He graduated from Lakewood High School in May of 2014. He spent a semester at the Community College of Denver in 2015. Alex was loved by an extended family and many friends. He was such a great person, with an easy going spirit and gentle soul. Over the past several days many words have been used to describe Alex by his family and friends. He truly was a beautiful human being with a contagious, infectious smile. He was kind and empathetic and indeed an ""old soul."" He touched so many lives in his short time here. Alex loved the outdoors — hiking, fishing, target shooting. His summer trips to Gould, Colorado were a highlight of each year. He loved to downhill ski, and was a beautiful graceful skier who loved to go fast and get lots of air. He also loved to listen to music, both on his phone and live at concerts. He played intramural basketball and flag football for a number of years. Alex died in Lakewood, Colorado on February 29, 2016, a month shy of his 20th birthday. He is preceded in death by many loving family members and leaves behind those of us that are eternally touched by him and love him deeply.
