The community of Waco is grieving the heartbreaking loss of Alexis McCormick, who died in a tragic accident just days after celebrating her 20th birthday. Her sudden passing has left family, friends, and loved ones devastated.
Known affectionately as “Alexis Texas” by her closest friends, Alexis was remembered as someone who brought laughter, energy, and joy wherever she went. Friends describe her as a bright light who made even the smallest moments feel like an adventure.
Her best friend, Bella Guerra, shared a touching tribute online, writing:
“Alexis was full of life always laughing, smiling, and bringing energy into every room she walked into. She was deeply loved by so many people, and she loved everyone back just as hard. She never had hate in her heart — even when people didn’t treat her right, she still showed them love and forgiveness.”
Another friend, Melanie Lynnell Friudenberg, added:
“Lexi was a bright light in every room she stepped foot in and she loved life! This loss was very unexpected and devastating for the family. Rest in heavenly peace, sweet girl.”
