Notes:

Alex James Trabert, age 23, passed away at approximately 5:30 a.m. Saturday, November 24, 2012 at the scene of an accident in Indianapolis, IN. Born March 24, 1989, in Columbia City, IN, Alex had been residing in Franklin for the past year.

He is survived by his parents, Walter Richard and Carla Jeanne (Coonrod) Trabert, Jr. of Columbia City; brothers, Jason Trabert of Columbia City, Bryan Trabert of Ballwin, MO, and Eric Trabert of Muncie; grandparents, Walter and Julia Trabert, Sr. of Columbia City and Gilbert L. Coonrod of Harlan.

It was said that Alex had guardian angels watching over him 24/7 when he was a young boy. He was born on Good Friday, slept through the night on Easter Sunday, and kept his family on their toes with his antics the rest of his short life. He joins his grandmother, RuthAnn (Mourey) Coonrod, in watching over his family and friends.

A lifetime Washington Township resident, he graduated from Columbia City High School in 2007. An avid BMX bike rider and artist, Alex had a great sense of humor and never seemed to know a stranger. He never turned down a request for help from a friend. Alex worked for Numerix Tooling and several jobs for Elwood Staffing. He was a ten year member of the Whitley County 4-H program and a member of St. Catherine's Catholic Church, Columbia City.

"A beautiful life that came to an end,
he died as he lived, everyone's friend.
In our hearts a memory will always be kept,
of one we loved, and will never forget."
