It is with deep sadness that we have learned our beloved Alex Koch, a cherished flight attendant and a devoted volunteer with Dreams Take Flight, has passed. Alex touched the lives of countless children and families, leaving behind a legacy of joy, laughter, and kindness. He earned the title of “Dreams Take Flight Hype Man” because his energy was unmatched and was capable of bringing smiles to the faces of everyone on board. Lighting up the skies with his love and energy. Alongside his best friend, George Barelos, Alex made each flight an unforgettable adventure, and a top-notch experience for the children who were lucky enough to join him on these special journeys.Known for his enthusiasm, Alex had a unique way of making people feel seen, heard, and truly valued. Whether he was brightening up the cabin with his humour, sparkly jacket and big glasses or providing a calming presence to everyone around him, Alex had a knack for making everything seem a little bit brighter. We send our deepest condolences to Alex’s wife, Jilan Koch, and his two children, Naima and Mateo.While Alex may no longer be with us, his legacy lives on in the hearts of all those within our charity. Rest easy. We know you will forever be lighting up the skies. You will be missed.
