Throughout his life, Alo cultivated many lifelong friendships. He was spontaneous and was not afraid to get up and go. He made friends every place he went. He was a gentle, kind spirit that had a passion for helping others. He was a rare combination of someone who had a love of life and an understanding of what was important — the simplicity of living a life with those you love.
Alejandro was an avid sports fan and loved all Denver teams, especially the Denver Broncos and the Wyoming Cowboys. He would often be seen wearing one of his many jerseys from his massive collection and could be found chanting W. Y. O.
Alo found solace in nature, he spent countless weekends with his family and friends fishing and camping.
