All of you are in my thoughts and prayers. I’m so sorry for your loss. Alex was such support for Komarek School. Thank you, Alex, for everything you have done for us.
Alex was a fundamental part of Komarek School District. Our district is forever grateful for the time he spent with us. He will always live in the heart of the Komarek family. My thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones.
My heart hurts for you, Alex, and the rest of your beautiful family. It’s so difficult to think that I won’t be able to get a daily morning greeting from you with your Dunkin’ Donuts coffee in one hand. Thank you for making me feel so welcome during my first year at Komarek last year. You will be missed beyond words.
My deepest sympathies to the Trakas family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. I will miss Alex hanging out in my office in the morning before the day started. Dunkin coffee in one hand and his work bag in the other, we would talk about the day ahead. He will be truly missed here at Komarek.
Alex was someone with whom I could always share a laugh, goofy story, or even simply a look and know he always understood my sentiment. Whenever I had a question or favor regarding the technology, he did his absolute best to help me a quickly as possible. He always had the best interest of our students in mind, and we would brainstorm ideas together. I will miss our deep conversations and light-hearted jokes. I pray the peace of Christ washes over his family and friends during this difficult time.
Im so sorry for your loss praying for you all
Alex was a very good man. He would always take time to fix our technical problems and he knew how, as well. He had such a kind heart. He will be missed by all of us at Komarek School. Our prayers are with you Trakas family.
Alex was an incredibly supportive colleague and friend, especially during the time our son was in the NICU. He offered us wonderful words of wisdom and advice. Our hearts are with the entire Trakas family. Sending you lots of love and strength. You are in our daily thoughts and prayers.
My most sincere condolences to Araceli, Demitri and family. I met Alex and he was a funny and very helpful man. I always came to him for my technology issues. I knew a lot about him through Araceli and know he was a very loving husband, father and a great cook! I was always jealous in a good way of her wonderful meals and weekends out. Alex will be truly missed by all his loved ones, family and friends. May his memories flood your hearts with love and comfort. May those memories console you during this time. RIP Alex.
It has taken me a great amount of time to accept the fact that you are now resting. Alex you have and will always be a great friend of mines. My prayers are with your family. We have worked closely for 8 years now, I consider you my brother in IT. I miss the great conversations we have about different technical problems or the new gadgets that are coming out. I know that you have laid out a great path for me and i’m trying to come to terms but I’m blessed that you are not suffering anymore. I will… Read more »
