I am deeply saddened to say that we lost my brother Alvis last week to a short battle with liver failure. His hospitalization came somewhat unexpectedly, and he only survived a short month after being admitted and diagnosed. Although he was not completely lucid, I firmly believe he felt the love of his friends and family surrounding him during his last days, and was able to leave his life peacefully.
Alvis definitely faced many struggles throughout his life, but one thing never faltered...his love for his family. I firmly believe his happiest days were those when we were all together, hanging out as a family. We all loved him dearly as well, and have many touching, as well as funny, memories of our time with him. We are looking forward to getting together this summer to share these memories with one another as a celebration of his life....just the way he would have wanted it, I'm sure!
I love you Al, and will miss you dearly!

We were not surprised, but saddened just the same when we heard the news of Alvis passing. Take comfort in knowing that he now has no pain and you can remember the good times your family had with him over his lifetime. We love you.
