Alexander Jack Ward, son of Larry Ward of Bloomfield, Missouri, was born on November 17, 2005, in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, and departed this life on September 21, 2024, at his home in Bloomfield, Missouri, at the age of 18 years. He was fond of his short life and loved his family, cats, and many friends.

Alex was a 2024 graduate of Bloomfield High School and was working for Walmart in Dexter. He was a master of playing video games and loved talking to people on his computer and cell phone. He was learning to cook and was good at searing meat. Like most young boys he was an avid car nut and proud of his Dodge Charger. He was the kindest and most respectful person to everyone he met, and he was the most loving and charismatic boy around. To other mothers in the area, he was like another son.

Along with his father, he is survived by his sister, Michelle Bascom of Poplar Bluff, Missouri; and by his best friend, Tori Noble of Bloomfield, Missouri.

Graveside services will be held at Gravel Hill Cemetery in rural Bloomfield, Missouri, on Friday, September 27, 2024, at 11:00 a.m.

Mathis Funeral Home in Dexter is assisting with arrangements.
