Alex Pretti's mom is remembering him on what would've been his 38th birthday. In Minnesota on January 24, Alex was killed by a US Border Patrol agent and a US Customs and Border Protection officer. His heart-wrenching death was seen around the world on video, and was officially ruled a homicide early last month. Over the weekend, Alex should have turned 38 and still be with us today, but his family has been left to mourn him. His mom, Susan Pretti, even took to Instagram to remember her son. She shared a sweet photo of him, writing in the caption: "Today should be your 38th birthday... When you lose your son you lose more than a child - you lose a piece of your heart and joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved." Ugh!! Just devastating!!

You are my. pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken." See the post for yourself (below): (c) Susan Pretti/Instagram So, so heartbreaking.
