Alex Smythe Death, Fort Lauderdale FL__ It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Alex Smythe, a cherished father, husband, brother, son, and friend. Alex, who was only 34 years old, succumbed to complications of dermatomyositis, a rare autoimmune disease, on August 30, 2024.
A Life Cut Tragically Short
Alex Smythe’s untimely death has left a deep void in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. He was a devoted husband to Brittany Maher Smythe, his soulmate and partner since 2015. Brittany, a former teacher who transitioned to being a stay-at-home mom, and their 19-month-old son, Dylan, were the center of Alex’s world. Alex’s battle with dermatomyositis began in April, but despite his best efforts, his health deteriorated rapidly. Diagnosed in late July with MDA-5 associated with Interstitial Lung Disease, Alex’s condition worsened, leading to his hospitalization on August 9th. Despite the medical team’s efforts, Alex passed away just a few weeks later.
Cherished Memories and Tributes
The grief of losing Alex is immense and has been deeply felt by his family and friends. A GoFundMe page established in his honor reflects the profound impact Alex had on those around him: “I have never felt more pain in my entire life. Watching my sister and best friend since the day I was born lose the love of her life at 34 years old is unimaginable,” the page reads. Another tribute highlights Alex’s role as a beloved brother: “Alex Morgan Smythe, you are one in a million. The brother I always wanted and finally got in 2015. Thank you for being my sister’s home, protector, and rock. This is so unfair, but I know you are at peace now. I love you forever, big bro.”
A Loving Family Man
Alex was known for his unwavering love and commitment to his family. His mother, sister, and extended family were all cherished by him. His dedication to his family and his career as a real estate agent demonstrated his strong work ethic and love for his community.
