His wife Libby shared a heartbreaking message on Instagram, “On March 12, our world shattered. Alex and his crew were on the plane that crashed in Iraq. I’m devastated to lose the best person I know, the person that made everything more fun, my best friend. But even more so, my heart is broken for our three kids who will grow up not knowing him. They won’t get to see firsthand the way he would jump up to help in any way he could. They won’t see how goofy and funny he was. They won’t witness his selflessness, the way he thought about everyone else before himself. They won’t get to feel the deep love he had for them. He was an incredible person and husband, but he was the best dad. It still doesn’t feel real. I keep thinking that I’ll get a text from him saying ‘Sorry honey! Didn’t mean to scare you’ and everything will be alright. Because Alex always made everything alright. We just moved to a new home and we had so many exciting plans in the next few years. Now we are left to navigate the void left in our hearts. Thank you to everyone who has reached out. Your words mean more than you know. These are some of the last photos we have together before he deployed. He was crushed that he had to leave us. I’Il forever remember this heartbreaking goodbye.” Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers. 🇺🇸🙏
Amen. 🥺🙏🏼
Absolutely precious. 😂🥰

What a privilege to run with the Olympic flame in the Torch Relay yesterday beneath the Acropolis, the perfect backdrop for this timeless tradition! From Ancient Olympia to Milano Cortina 2026 (and then on to Los Angeles in 2028!), the Olympic spirit connects us all. I’m grateful to @hellenic_olympic_committee for this truly unforgettable moment.

This Women’s History Month, I’m honored to serve as America’s first female Ambassador to the Hellenic Republic and to join @POTUS in recognizing the women who shaped our nation and inspired generations. I’m grateful to be part of an Administration that uplifts women, supports families, and strengthens our future. Let’s celebrate the contributions of women across both our great nations. 🇺🇸🇬🇷
God bless our troops and thank you for your service. 🙏🏼🇺🇸

OXI Day stands as a timeless reminder that freedom is won by courage, not comfort. 🇺🇸🇬🇷 When Greece said “NO” to tyranny, it said “YES” to faith, freedom, and the dignity of mankind. Today, we honor the indomitable Greek spirit and the unbreakable bond between our two great nations. p/c @greekcitytimes #OXIDay #USGreeceAlliance
2025 was one for the books. From January’s historic inauguration of President Trump to becoming the U.S. Ambassador to Greece, it was a year I’ll never forget. 🇺🇸🇬🇷 Onward to 2026! 🎊
