Alexander William Sowik, 62, of Moncton, passed away on Monday April 17, 2023 at The Moncton Hospital surrounded by friends who loved him.

Born in Banff, Alberta, Alex spent his latest 10 years in Moncton helping others. Upon his arrival to Moncton, he spent his days in the Harvest House Community Centre cleaning and giving a warm welcome to everyone as they entered. His commitment to helping keep the space clean and tidy was recognized, and Alex was offered an opportunity to be the custodian for the Community Centre. Alex was very proud to have this position and he worked very hard at it on a daily basis.

Eventually, Alex became a resident of the Harvest House Housing Program. He was well respected and appreciated for his kindness, stories, and jokes. Alex didn’t want much in life. He was happy to have his coffee, a daily walk or bike ride through the community, and an afternoon nap. Alex could always be counted on for helping others.

Predeceased by his father of Czechoslovakia and mother of Germany, Alex is survived by his children, family and friends. He will be lovingly remembered by his Harvest House family, which he was proud to be a member of.

The funeral service will be celebrated at Harvest House, 182 High Street, Moncton, on Monday April 24, 2023 at 1 pm. Funeral arrangements are in the professional care of Frenette Funeral and Cremation Centre, Moncton (858-1900).
