Contributions to the fund can be sent to: The Alex Klucik Grace Fund, c/o Ave Maria Foundation, 5050 Ave Maria Blvd., Ave Maria, FL 34142-9505. The family asks that donations to the fund be made in lieu of flowers. (Click here for details on arrangements for the wake Friday and funeral Saturday.)
“Alex and his family have benefited tremendously from the good works funded by the Ave Maria Foundation, including Spiritus Sanctus Academy, the Rhodora J. Donahue Academy, Ave Maria University and the Ave Maria School of Law,” said Alex’s father, Robb Klucik. Alex Klucik graduated from the Donahue Academy and was enrolled as a freshman at AMU in the fall. His father was in the first graduating class of the Ave Maria School of Law.
Town residents Rich and Kathy Dittus are also organizing a “spiritual bouquet” for the Klucik family, through which people can offer prayers, Masses and other devotions. Mrs. Dittus invites anyone to send her a pledge of special prayers, rosaries, holy hours, Masses or other devotions, along with a note of condolence that will be passed on to the family.

THERE IS NO DEATH - In one sense there is no death. The life of a soul on earth lasts beyond their departure. You will always feel that life touching yours, that voice speaking to you, that spirit looking out of other eyes, talking to you in the familiar things they touched, worked with, loved as familiar friends. They live on in your life and in the lives of others that knew them.
