We are heartbroken by the tragic loss of Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37-year-old nurse, caregiver, and compassionate human being who dedicated his life to helping others. Alex worked in the ICU within the U.S. veterans’ healthcare system, caring for those who had already sacrificed so much. He was known by colleagues and friends as kind, gentle, hardworking, and deeply committed to making the world better. Alex was a son, a friend, a healer, and a light in the lives of many. His sudden and violent death has left his family and loved ones devastated and unprepared for the financial burden that follows such a tragedy. We are raising funds to help cover: • Funeral and memorial expenses • Immediate support for his family • Related legal and logistical costs Any contribution, no matter the size, helps honor Alex’s life and legacy. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this message to help us reach more people. Let us come together to show that the compassion Alex gave to the world will be returned in his memory. Thank you for your kindness and support.
