Laura Loomer shared a post on fb on the death of Steve Alembik :
Steve Alembik was a wonderful, and kind hearted man, and I was very sad and shocked to learn of his death today. I wrote about him in my book, as he was the person who gave me the first initial push to run for US Congress in 2020. I made the decision to run for Congress when we had a meeting in his office in Boca Raton, and he worked hard to support me every step of the way.Steve was a big supporter of Republican political causes, a pro-Israel philanthropist, a loving father, and a kind and generous man.Every time I spoke to Steve, he was hosting a fundraiser for another pro-Jewish cause, volunteering at the food bank, or helping a GOP candidate. He was always helping others and was a fierce patriot who loved his country and was often spotted in his eccentric red, white and blue patriotic outfits like his American flag blazer and converse.Sadly, those of us who knew Steve understood that he struggled with his mental health at times, which he ultimately succumbed to when he died this week, but he always put on a smile for those around him and never complained.The tragedy surrounding Steve’s suicide has shocked everyone, and as details come out, people will probably be judgmental. I just know that Steve was a kind man who had personal struggles like everyone else. And I hope he is remembered for all of the good he did throughout his life as opposed to the darkness and tragedy that surrounds his last moments on this planet.This is how I will choose to remember Steve Alembik. This photo of us was taken the night of my election victory party the night I won my primary on August 18, 2020.Steve was always there for the people he cared for. And I hope he will be remembered for all of the good he did in the world.May his memory be a blessing.
In the face of this tragic loss, the community extends its thoughts and prayers to Steve’s family and loved ones, emphasizing the importance of mental health awareness and support for those struggling. As the community grieves, they come together to remember Steve Alembik’s positive contributions and the lasting impact he had on the lives of those around him.
