Proud member of the East Montpelier Fire Department from age 15 was passionate about public service
Alex M. Boguzewski, 33, of Montpelier, Vt., passed away peacefully at the McClure Miller Respite House in Colchester, Vt., on May 27, 2025, after a long and courageous battle with brain cancer. Alex was born to Sharon (Keefe) Morris and Michael Boguzewski on July 6, 1991, in Berlin, Vt. Alex attended school in East Montpelier, Vt., graduated from Union 32 High School in 2010, and attended the International School of Earth Studies, an outdoor education and animal connection school based in Québec, Canada. Alex worked in several occupations in his short life. He was passionate about public service. He was a proud member of the East Montpelier Fire Department from the young age of 15, serving many roles, including on its board of directors. Alex worked many years for Central Vermont Home Health & Hospice, delivering home care to those in need. He was awarded many times for his kind acts and above-and-beyond service. He also found time to fill in at Tractor Supply … and gained many lifelong friends. Spanning that, Alex held many roles at Sugarbush Resort and Alterra Mountain, again winning awards for excellent service. His latest role, his dream job, was in human resources as international coordinator, managing logistics for the many international student work programs for the resort. Alex will be remembered for his charming personality and smile, kind and generous heart, quick wit, gregarious presence, and being a good friend to everyone, as well as having quite a bit of tasteful sarcasm. (OK, so maybe it wasn’t always tasteful.) Alex is survived by his mother, Sharon Morris, and father, Michael (Karen) Boguzewski; stepbrother David (Brandie) Morris of Georgia; stepbrother Chris Plant of California; stepsister Lindsay (Chris) DeVits of New Hampshire; and several nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins; as well as many, many, many friends. Alex was preceded in death by both sets of grandparents and his dear stepfather, Ron Morris. A celebration of Alex’s life will be held on June 21, 2025, with full fireman honors, at the Capitol Plaza in Montpelier, Vt. The celebration will be preceded by a procession to the plaza starting at 1 p.m. Friends and family are asked to gather outside on the sidewalk in front of the plaza (both sides of the street) to honor Alex’s passion for life and fire service. In lieu of flowers, a donation in Alex’s honor for any amount would be…
