Allexander James (AJ) was born October 7, 2016 in Marion, IL, to Rochelle Wohlgemuth.
He lit up a room with his smile and he loved everyone. His family said he had several nicknames such as, Turnip, then he was known as our little monkey, and monkey man. The family now calls him their Guardian Angel. His laughter was infectious. When AJ laughed, everyone in the room would laugh with him. He was innocent and loving.

He was preceded in death by: uncle Scott Wohlgemuth; aunt Patricia L. (Richards) Parshudie; and a cousin Timothy Marchiorello that lit his way to Heaven by only hours.
Memorial contributions may be made in care of Leffler Funeral Home, until a decision is made to which children’s foundation the monies will be donated.
