Mark, Cathy,
Words can not express how sorry I am for your loss. Alex meant the world to me and I know he was a light in the life of everyone lucky enough to know him.
Your son was the best friend I could ever ask for. From the first time we met, he was always there for me. He had a heart of gold and he wasn't afraid to wear it on his sleeve.
My taste in music, my shoe style, my outlook on life, my taste in beer, my limited knowledge of sports, basically everything about me.... Alex played a colossal role in making me the man I am today. I owe him everything. If I can ever help you guys out in any way, please don't hesitate to call.
Alex is my best friend. Alex is my brother. I will never forget the things he taught me about life.

Dear Alex,
Well, darling, what can I say? There are simply no words to describe how losing you feels. I mean, Alex, you died. Among all of the things that aren't suppose to happen, this is at the top of the list! Right there with me winning the power ball. Unfathomable.
I have been searching my memory banks for fun memories, stories, and experiences that we shared. It's no surprise that they are all little kid memories. My family and I moved away, and you, your brothers and sister, and Tyler, Jordan, and Spencer all continued to grow, and as life will have it, grew apart. Jordan and I were just talking about you the other day (I shit you NOT!), and how the two of you were, are, and forever will be deeply connected. You were each other’s best friend, confidant, inventor of games, and Teflon when it came to trouble! Jordan had been lamenting about missing that type of bond that he shared with you. He was hoping to reconnect. The four of us as parents watched the older boys (I mean...we gotta keep an eye on THEM), and we were very vigilant over the little ones, keeping them on schedule and safe. Then came Keegan, And well......It's Keegan. You and Jordan did your thing, and the moms and dads didn't notice much! You middles had a pretty good deal with the freedom!
However, with all that growing up and growing apart, the boys and I absolutely did keep up with you as you grew up. There is no more joy than chatting with dearly loved friends about the ongoing events both big and small in our grown up children's lives. I got to see you “in passing” over the last few years as I blew in and out of town, give you a hug, look in to your eyes, and catch up for a sec. These little moments made me happy then, and I will cherish them forever.
Alex, the pain and sadness I have heard in Cathy's words, her voice, her sobs are unbearable. I cannot begin to imagine how that must feel. I want to tell her and Mark that I love them, that they will grieve and heal, and life will resume to it's best ability, when it is time to. Doesn't that sound dumb? Cathy and Mark will do all of those things, of course. But without Alex? And Breanna? She has been quintessential Breanna. Takes care of business, in a loving, kind, way, not devoid of feeling. Her pain and loss is palpable, yet her actions are those of another remarkable Mottau. I have not yet seen or spoke with Cody, Elly, or Keegan, nor have I met your precious Lauren. Again, how does a young person say goodbye to their loving brother and soul mate?
This space is meant for condolence, to express sympathy to those that the deceased is survived by, to offer comfort. I completely wish to do that for Cathy, Mark, Cody, Breanna, Keegan, Elly, and Lauren. I looked up sayings, quotes, bible verses, my dad gave me a good one too....but among the many "My heart and prayers are with you" (obvious), and "words cannot express our sorrow" (I think I have written over 200 characters, and have missed the boat entirely), there is only this: I miss you Alex. I will always miss you. I mourn for your family. I pray for rest and peace for them. I am comforted in knowing that although you are not like "right here", you are not gone either. You not only are quite alive in our memories, in your touch you had in this world, and the marks that you made, but of course you are there in heaven and we shall meet again. Please do me a favor? Look in on Daisy and Cole, and give them both a good long scratch behind the ears. Until then, much love, Leslie.

My favorite book that I like to share during this time:
TheDash By Linda Ellis I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend. He referred to the dates on her tombstone from the beginning…to the end. He noted that first came the date of her birth and spoke of the following date with tears, but he said what mattered most of all was the dash between those years. For that dash represents all the time that she spent alive on earth and now only those who loved her know what that little line is worth.
So think about this long and hard; are there things you’d like to change? For you never know how much time is left that can still be rearranged. If we could just slow down enough to consider what’s true and real and always try to understand the way other people feel. And be less quick to anger and show appreciation more and love the people in our lives like we’ve never loved before. If we treat each other with respect and more often wear a smile… remembering that this special dash might only last a little while. So when your eulogy is being read with your life’s actions to rehash, would you be proud of the things they say about
How will you spend yourDash?
I know you raised all your children to be wonderful children & young adults and Alex was no exception. I hope you find
Some comfort in it.

Such a horrific loss. Cathy and Mark I can not stress enough what a special family you have and how much each and everyone of you mean to me. Your entire family has been part of my family's lives through so many stages. The most recent stage of Alex's life that I was so happy to witness was adulthood that included purchasing his own home, working side by side with his dad and finding a great gal to have a relationship with. All of this great stuff makes this tragedy that much harder to accept. I am praying for strength and understanding for each and everyone of you. Love you guys.
