Alex Mandarino, 26
<p><strong>Alex Mandarino, 26</strong></p>
Our dear, sweet boy Alex Mandarino was taken from us on Wednesday, June 12, 2013.
Anyone who knew him was touched by his sweetness, wit, gentle nature, humor, compassion and unique character. He loved conversation and was always willing to engage with anyone and everyone.
Born in Kalispell, Alex graduated from Whitefish High School in 2005 and studied filmmaking at the Los Angeles Film School. He attended Fresh Life Church and had a passion for writing, film, reading, food and animals.
He is survived by his parents, Laura Blankenship, and Monte and Dana Mandarino; brother, Grant Mandarino; and sisters, Christy Blankenship, Sarah Sibbert and Katie Blankenship.
There are no words to express our love for Alex, and he will remain in our hearts and thoughts forever.
A celebration of his life will be held at 6 p.m. on his birthday, Wednesday, June 19, at Fresh Life Church in Kalispell.
