Samuel Giles William Alexander

Pray for Sam

He was with Juliet Company 42 Commando Royal Marines.

Marine Alexander, of Hammersmith, west London, leaves behind his wife Claire and young son Leo, who is not yet a year old.

His wife stated "Sam was so special. He was the gentlest of men but tough when he needed to be. He risked his safety for his friends but never batted an eyelid. It was his job and a job he did well. Sam was a loving husband and a wonderful father. He was our rock and my best friend. He has been taken from me all too soon."

Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus, all of the saints and all of the angels that Samuel Alexander is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen.
