Lex was truly one of the most amazing and funny people to be around. I will miss talking and joking around with you at shift change . You were so passionate about your career and a role model person to look up to. You were always there for me when I had questions as a brand new jail supervisor and you were there to help me when I went through the police academy. Until we meet again myself and the rest of your brothers and sisters will hold the line from here. Rest in peace my brother.
