It is with immense sadness that we mourn the loss of Alejandro Parra, my closest friend, who passed away suddenly from an illness at the age of 50. Alejandro was more than a friend to me he was a brother, confidant and inspiration. He was always there for me through thick and thin and his passing leaves a void that can never be filled.
Alejandro was a one of a kind person who touched the lives of everyone he met. He had a brilliant personality that could light up any room. He was a talented actor and musician with an unparalleled passion for arts. He loved studying languages and was fluent in several including Spanish and Italian. He had a particular love for the Basque Country, and its people and culture, and often spoke fondly of his travels there. Alejandro is survived by his close friends William D. Colavito and Katia Paroczi.
Alejandro inspired me with his zest for life and warmth and kindness. I will always cherish the memories we shared and will miss him dearly. Rest in peace, my brother, Alejandro Parra.
