Alexander Taylor Ennis passed away on May 22nd, 2019 in Edmonton, Alberta at the age of 26 years. He was born in Calgary in 1992, and was raised in Calgary, Stettler and Red Deer, spending the last number of years living in Edmonton. Despite the mental and physical toll of living with severe hemophilia, Alex had an active childhood playing hockey and soccer and did it all with a positive attitude. Alex also enjoyed coaching, refereeing and playing with Red Deer Pond Hockey. In his later years he also enjoyed hiking, camping and golfing. Some of his best youth years were spent in the summer at the Points West Resort in Sylvan Lake. Alex has enjoyed being an uncle since the age of 4 and spoiled his nieces and nephew with his time and generous gifts and never let them pay for anything when taking them out on activities. He spent the majority of his career in customer service and he touched his co-worker’s lives deeply. Recently, Alex took a passion for hiking in the mountains of Alberta and experienced amazing hikes. One of his favourite spots was Lake Minnewanka. Alex loved travelling to Hawaii, Mexico, Cuba, Yukon, Alaska, California, Kelowna, Invermere and the mountains. Recently, he took on a vegetarian diet under the wing of his best friend and roommate, Gagan. Alex would have spent hours cruising the aisles at Value Village searching for the perfect deal, especially when it came to Stanley thermoses. He loved simple things in life, he hoped to one day build a tiny house and live off the grid. He had a passion for movies, TV shows and books. Alex is lovingly remembered by his parents Joann (Bob) and Brian (Marianne); his brothers Curtis (Taylor), Dave, Gord (Lisa), Jordan and Ben; sister Christy; nieces Taylor, Lennon, Katie; nephew Cam; best friends Gagan and Jordan and dog Carlos. The Celebration of Alex’s Life will be held at Living Stones Church, 2020 – 40 Ave, Red Deer AB on Thursday, May 30 at 11:00 am.
