Alex Knoth, Lewistown: This man will always be like a younger brother to me. Little does he realize that he has also become one of my greatest heroes. Alex puts in more effort than anyone I know, lives each day with integrity and you won’t find another person as quick as him to give you the shirt off his back. He has shown me how to view the world differently and approach situations with a logical mindset. Above all, he has taught me the true meaning of unconditional love. The incomparable support and unwavering backup he provides whenever I need it are beyond words. Without a doubt, he is the most exceptional man I’ve ever encountered. Alex might not save lives daily, but he’s a hero in so many ways…moreso, he’s my hero.
