Alexander L. "Alex" Bednarsky of Rockledge, Pennsylvania died Thursday, July 4, 2024 at Holy Redeemer Hospital. He was 56 years old. Alex was born October 2, 1967 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, son of the late Roman Bednarsky and the late Lydia Bednarsky (nee - Maksymowych). He is the beloved husband of Paige Bednarsky; loving brother of Tony Bednarsky and his wife Donna, and Mary Bednarsky; brother-in-law of Philip Pappas, and Linda Valenzano and her husband Richard; uncle to Kathryn Zampese and her husband Trev, Peter Bednarsky and his wife Lauren, Andrew Bednarsky, and Stevo Bednarsky.
