Obituary of Alex Weakly

Alex Calvin Weakly March 26, 2008 - September 17, 2010 Alex Calvin Weakly was born in Monroe, Michigan on March 26, 2008. He was the son of Adam Weakly and Valerie (Kiley) Weakly. Two weeks ago, Alex began school at the Meadow Montessori Toddler Program. Alex loved cars. He spent time sitting in the neighbors red one or in the driver seat of his parents. Recently a friend of the family handed down their little red car so Alex could have one of his own that he just loved and spent much of his time in. He also liked shoes and tried on a few pair whether or not they matched or whether or not they belonged to him. With three older siblings Alex had a hard time getting a word in. His best bud was his dog Miss Belle. They were quite the couple even though Alex often carried her by her tail, she seemed to love him just the same. Alex could be found running, climbing the countertops, or trying to slide the banisters. His quiet confidence, stocky stance, and handsome good looks with blonde locks were sure to please the ladies. His sweet voice and "I Love You's" would always warm his parent's hearts. Alex age 2 of Monroe passed away peacefully at home on Friday night, September 17, 2010. To cherish his memory he leaves parents: Adam and Valerie Weakly; his paternal grandparents: Hal and Cheri Weakly; his maternal grandparents: Paul C. and Suzanne Kiley; a maternal great grandmother: Cecilia Godfred; three siblings: Anna King, Max and Tatum Weakly all of Monroe; his godparents: Vanessa Fisher and Cody Kegerreis; aunts and uncles: Veronica (Mark) Fisher, Matthew Keilman, Emily Kiley, Paul S.
