Alex Cesare - Funeral and memorial fund

Our son Alex very unexpectedly has had his life cut short. He had moved out of state last July and had just begun to  experience life. He bought his first home and his career trajectory was extremely promising. March 8th he was unaccounted for from his work and family, by that evening the ugly truth was given to us.   Alex, as his namesake suggests was a "Protector of Mankind".  His entire life was dedicated to others. As a child of 2 he was very independent. At 8 he was chosen to be a "Peer pal" for the Autistic Center of Bakersfield, he stayed with them till high school. He regularly donated blood and platelets to the Houchin Blood bank, because his blood type, like his mom was B+ . He was a "be positive person". He got a perfect score on his Calculus AP exam, and has his name on the ceiling of the calculus class at Liberty High School. As a student he was a diamond. He corrected his 2nd grade teacher in English class, she didn't like it but he was right. Shortly thereafter we began to home-school him until 11th grade. in 3rd grade he chose to read "Moby Dick" cover to cover. He said he didn't understand it but he did it. He consumed information like a " computer". He would build them as well,  from scratch. He took a considerable interest in karate, he studied with sensei Jon Dobbs, won many tournaments and became a black belt, in this, his little brother joined him and also became a black belt. At age 16 he began work at a McDonald's in town that also had a Chevron gas station attached,  affectionately named "Chevronalds". He was beloved as the only employee who could speak Spanish. At 17 Chevron Corp visited Liberty High School and recruited him into their "Stars" program. Because of his aptitude he was placed into the IT department. He was kept by Chevron through high school and college.  He graduated from CSUB college's 2nd Electrical Engineering class, and went on to become a most valued employee at Chevron. His work ethic was untouchable. While at CSUB he was a founding member of the "Extra Life" gamers venue/club. This was an all inclusive club devoted to camaraderie for those who would had normally been playing their games isolated. But this also had a purpose. Yearly there was a tournament held where the entire city was invited, any age. They raised funds for the Lauren Small Children's Hospital. This last year the total was in excess of 10,000.00$ If anyone needed anything, you called Alex.  Every Sunday, at 6am for several years he went to the church on the CSUB campus to help with the set up and IT needs for the service podcast, and stayed to help tear-down by 2pm. And on, and on, and on. he was there for anybody                                                               To us, his family,                                                           he was a perfect soul.                          Love and light, hope and help, cheerleader and confidant.                                                              We were told by Chevron corp that we are on our own with all burial, home cleanup and resale. There are so many trips back and forth from Ca. to Tx. I need to bring my son home, I need legal to go up against a corporation who let my son down,  for their mismanagement and taking him from me, and a thorough investigation as to why this happened. For therapy for our family, to heal eventually....                                                          We are devastated We need the money by March 13th to begin with the viewing. His funeral is scheduled for March 21st. We, his parents are the ones handling all the expenses
