Lexani loved being around his family, playing video games, football, photography, socializing with his friends, but one thing that really captured his heart was listening to music.

Condolences
The family of Lexani Patrick Montez has received the following condolences.
Lexani was a student in my music room for 6 years. He was bright, kind and loving. He shared my love for music and always had a hug for me and a kind word. His sweet smile and big beautiful eyes will stay with me forever. My very deepest sympathies are with his family at this time.
I can’t believe your actually gone. We had our ups and downs the times we went to the mall and the fun we had when I went to your school on half days when I found out from your cousins that you were dead. I didn’t actually get any to believe that it was some sick joke. But looking every where knowing that it’s actually true.
My thoughts and my prayers go out to your family.
Lexani was a bright and beautiful person. When he was at Riverside Elementary School, he always brighten my day when I saw him. I helped him learn in 1st grade as the first grade paraprofessional. I am praying for his family as losing a child is one of the hardest things to go through. May the Lord wrap your in his comforting embrace and take away some of your pain and heartache.
The Kids Come 1st Family is deeply sorry for your loss. The SW location has many wonderful memories of Lexani and he will be missed. We wrap our prayers and thoughts around your entire family.
you were my favorite hello and my hardest goodbye i miss you more than words can explain i love you forever
I had known lexani since kindergarten when we were both trouble makers and in about 1st or 2nd grade he gave me the nickname of Ariana Grande. Lexani probably never knew this but for the last 9 years I had always considered lexani as my friend. It very hard not to cry because I have known him for around 9 years
This has been hurting me mentally ever since i woke up to people telling me that you passed, i knew you for 7 years of my life man it wasn’t supposed to end this way i remember talking to you about going to century together and being all excited about it but now we wont be able to experience that together, all the memories from elementary school wont be the same anymore you always were a bright person even if we fought or got into arguments we still got along after all you were one of the people who knew me the most out of everyone i’ve became friends with, you introduced to me many things back then and helped me become the person i am today i will always cherish the memories we’ve had even if i didn’t seen you in person for 5 years, you were such a positive and funny person to everyone man everything happened so fast you were my first ever best friend and im never gonna forget you.
Lexani rode my school bus for a year. He was quiet but always kind and respectful. My thoughts and prayers to his family and friends. You all have my deepest condolences.
My heart is heavy for Lexani and his family!! I was one of his assistant principal’s at Riverside Elementary and adored and truly loved his being! Hugs to his family and siblings…please anyone who is with his little brothers…. Protect and love them as we all did at Riverside!
