He was a forceful enough personality that he didn't have to yell or scream or anything. He led by example.

Ayala's twin sister said she cried herself to sleep in the days before they got the word that he had been killed. In the eight years since he left for boot camp, his mother had seen him three times.

4 memories of Alejandro
I went through the training with SSgt Ayala at Camp Shelby. He was a good man. I prayer the Lord brings his family comfort. RIP Brother Ayala!!!!!!!
I had the privelage of being SSgt Ayala's supervisor while we were at Camp Buehring, Kuwait. Alejandro epitomized professionalism in the military. He never complained no matter the task. I will always admire that man. I still carry his memory and continue to pray for his famiy on such a tragic loss.
It was an honor and a privilege to spend 4-5 weeks with SSgt Ayala while attending Camp Shelby CST. His positive
attitude and infectious personality made
the time away from my family pleasant. Words can't describe the impact his death had on me. When he found out he got promoted to TSgt, I gave him a rank insignia. I knew he'd make an excellent
Junior NCO, leader and mentor. My heart
goes out to his family and friends. He will never be forgotten. God Bless...
I had the privilege of working with Ayala at Seymour Johnson AFB. He was one of the nicest and most genuine person i had ever met in the military.
I just heard the news of this tragic loss and will always remember Ayala. The world needs more people like him.
