It was hard for him; it was really difficult. Every day he didn't know what's going to happen. Some people who he worked with died right there. He never knows when a bomb's going to blow up. He's always telling me, I hope everything's going to be fine, but you never know what's going to happen in the next five minutes.
— Elena Smith, fiancee
Alexeev was born in Russia and moved to California as a teenager. His mother, who had served in the Russian Air Force, was seeking a better life for her two children. He was granted U.S. citizenship posthumously.

Rest in peace brother. It's hard to write for someone who is not here with us, but because of you, we still are. Zemlya tebe puhom bratishka.
So incredibly sad to lose another young person. I can't believe these two wars are still going on and the public seems to be numbed to the level of casualties being reported every week.
Rest in peace. May your death not be in vain.
To Alexander and our fallen brothers in Arms...
God bless you, Alex, rest in peace.

You will never be fogotten.
