Xander enjoyed playing various online games with many of his friends, many locally but also those from around the country and all over the world. He had a newfound affinity for fitness and could be found either at his home gym or with some of his workout friends at theirs. Xander was a gentle and quiet young man. He thoroughly enjoyed a simple night snuggled up in his favorite robe at home, watching YouTube videos with family and snacking on his favorite cheese. He loved to spend time with all his family and cousins at family gatherings, sharing laughs over all the silly games that were played. Xander was unconditionally loved by all of his family and friends alike, and he will always be carried in their hearts.
