Honoring the Spotlight - Fundraising for Alex

Alexander James Buckner was a beloved friend, big brother, uncle, son, and working artist in the Portland theater community. His sudden passing on July 23 has left his immediate family reeling, and his family could use our support.

Alex was a passionate social justice advocate, academic, and he delighted audiences on stage for over a decade throughout the Portland community.

Alex's fervor for the stage was undeniable, and he poured his heart and soul into the roles he brought to life. He left lasting impacts on cast, crew and audience members alike. His fellow actors cherished his friendship, and he reveled in the joy of creating unforgettable moments on and off the stage.

As we cope with the loss of our beloved Alex, we come together to give him the grand finale he deserves—a memorial service that celebrates his passion for the theater, his family, and his friends. We turn to you: his extended community, and all those whose lives were touched by Alex's performances, to help us raise funds for a fitting tribute to this exceptional human.

By contributing to this memorial fundraising campaign, you will be part of preserving Alex's theatrical legacy and ensuring that his light continues to shine brightly in the hearts of those he entertained.

Your generous donations will not only go toward any lingering memorial service expenses, but will also help his family pay for rent, phone and utility bills, groceries, and cremation services.

Together, let us unite our voices and contribute to a finale that would make Alex proud—one filled with love, gratitude, the magic of theater, and making Alex's family financially whole during this difficult time.

Thank you
