Obituary
Alexavier Jay Pedrin
Our precious, innocent, little boy, Alexavier Jay Pedrin, also known as Alex, Aj, and Hammy, age 6, tragically died on February 11, 2023, at his father’s girlfriends’ home in Onalaska. His death was the result of blunt force trauma in addition to high levels of Xanax in his system. As a victim of child abuse, Alexavier faced many challenges, and demonstrated incredible courage, strength, and resiliency.
Alexavier was born on July 10, 2016, to Jenah Love of Holmen and Derek Pedrin of Onalaska. He attended kindergarten and the beginning of first grade at Hintgen Elementary School in La Crosse.
Alexavier was a fun, loving, active, and outgoing, young boy full of zest. He loved to dance, sing, swim, ride his bike, play basketball, and watch his “Buddy” race. He considered himself fast like “Lightening McQueen” and a good friend like “Woody”. Alexavier was a “mommy’s boy” and treasured there time together; he especially loved it when she read him books. He would say, “You got a friend in me mom.” He looked up to his older “sissy”, Aubrey and loved singing and dancing with her. Alexavier looked out for his little sister, Azaelia. He made sure she was included, safe and comfortable. He held her hand while walking; covered her up with a blanket; and helped her sit and stand. Alexavier and his maternal family were strongly bonded, and he loved spending time with them. He was always so happy to see them and would run up, smiling ear to ear, spread his arms wide open, and give the most endearing bear hug. Our hearts ache for his loss, as he was so dearly loved. His memories will be cherished, and he will be forever missed.
Alexavier is survived by his mother, Jenah Love; sister Aubrey Pedrin; half-sister Azaelia Love; step-brother Frenadus Jr Love.

flowers, donation will be made by ILC for the cause. Rest in peace sweet angel, Alex!
This beautiful little boy should never have had to suffer at all. Only an evil person could have done this. He had his loving Grandma Cheryl advocating for him, no one listened. The person who abused him repeatedly, eventually causing his death should be locked up for life! Anyone who knew what was
happening to poor A.J. & did not speak up for him should also be held accountable!
My heart goes out to A.J.’s family who looked out for his well being, who showed him the love he deserved, & made him feel safe.
My deepest condolences to Cheryl, Jenah, his siblings, & all who loved him.
Rest in heaven there is no excuse for child abuse and a happy looking little guy like you by far deserved this ? happy that you no longer are suffering , but saddened for family and friends . Strength , love , and prayers to all his family .
I’m so incredibly sorry for the tragic and absolutely senseless loss of this beautiful boy! I hope justice will prevail and all who loved him find peace and comfort!
This is absolutely heartbreaking. Please except my sincerest condolences and prayers.
This is such a sad and horrible story. I could hardly get through reading it with my eye’s flowing tears. My deepest sympathy for all. I pray to God he gives you strength and comfort at this difficult time. God please heal their broken hearts and I pray RIP soon will change to Resurrection In Progress.
Mathew 5:4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
My deepest condolences to the loving family and friends who are processing this senseless loss of this beautiful little boy. My heart breaks to read this and also the acknowledgements which are pouring out with hurt and love.
