Alex Pretti Memorial T-Shirt
Remember his name. Carry his light forward.
This t-shirt features a portrait of Alex Pretti—a VA ICU nurse, an avid outdoorsman, and by every account, someone who spent his life asking one simple question: "What can I do to help?"
Alex was 37 years old. He dedicated his career to caring for critically ill veterans at the Minneapolis VA, showing up every shift with kindness, humor, and a deep commitment to his patients. His colleagues remember him as outstanding, hardworking, and always ready to lend a hand. His family described him as a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for the people in his life—and for his beloved Catahoula Leopard dog, Joule, his companion on countless outdoor adventures.
Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. He dreamed of leaving it better than he found it. In his final moments, he was still trying to help someone.
This shirt is a way to keep his face visible, his name spoken, and his dream alive. Wear it as a reminder that helpers exist—and that their light doesn't go out just because they're gone.
100% of proceeds from this shirt will be donated to support Alex's family.
A fellow nurse said it best: "He's a light. He's a light in these dark times."
