Alexander Pucci passed away peacefully June 25, 2010, with his parents at his side, after a six-day fight with respiratory failure. He was at the Naval Hospital here in Oak Harbor, where he was born 3.5 years ago. It was extremely peaceful and was the perfect ending to his imperfect situation. His journey was long and, at times, arduous. But he has found peace and is now free. He is fondly remembered and forever missed by family that spans four generations and two countries, as well as numerous friends, teachers, fans and inspired champions.

In lieu of flowers, his parents and big sister respectfully request donations be sent to Harbor Haven Respite and Crisis Center PO BOX 1601, Coupeville, WA 98239-1601. Arrangements entrusted to Burley Funeral Chapel.
