Alexander was born on May 3, 2007, to Daniel Dodson and Michelle Emerson. At just 19 ½ months old, he passed away in his sleep on December 20, 2008.

From the day he was born, Alexander was smiling and happy. He loved to make others happy as well and could always be counted on for a kiss or a hug. He loved to dance, eat waffles, read books, play with his friends, and watch Wow Wow Wubbzy.
