Alex Welch was a young man who I coached in soccer in his seventh and eighth grades. He was always a joy to coach, always attentive and willing to make the extra effort to learn. I always had him as my starting center midfielder. He was always so focused and excellent at distributing the ball to his teammates. At 22 years old he contracted an aggressive form of spinal meningitis and he passed away much too soon for such a great young talented man. The flock of doves represent Christ’s apostles whom have come to see how beautifully he played soccer as a young man
