Born on March 24, 1961 to Alexander and Rosemary (nee Catalina) Failoni. Survived by his siblings, Rosetta (Joe) Meiners, Victor (Stephanie) Failoni and Josephine (Ronald) Bass; his stepdaughter Jaime Scavatta and her children Kayla and Teddy; his nieces and nephews, Margaret (Michael) Kathalynas, Joey (Mariann) Meiners, Alex, John, Ronny, Victor, Victor Jr. and Rosemary; great nieces and nephews, Joe Joe, Carmella, and Alex Mario. Friend to many.
Alex was a CBC graduate of the class of 79′. He joined the family business, Failoni’s Restaurant in the 80’s. He was a great asset in so many ways. It was his idea to bring entertainment to Failoni’s early in the day on Thursdays, which started a tradition that has lasted for decades. His many gifts included cooking, bartender, he loved PR, and so well known for his singing. His Sinatra style singing was discovered in the mid 80’s. Vic said he still remembers getting a call while at college from his Mom saying that Alex had started singing and everyone thought he sounded like Sinatra. This amazing gift had him singing weekly with Tom Kelly and his mother Rosemary. He also sang at weddings, funerals, fundraisers etc. at other St. Louis venues and out of town. At Failonis. he amazed people how he could sing all while pouring cocktails. He eventually became owner and partner of Failoni’s with his brother Victor in 1991. In 2014, he followed another dream and successfully opened Uncle Leo’s Pizza with his nephew Joey. Alex found love with Michelle Jordan a few years ago. They had a special love and she was a constant before and after Alex’s cancer diagnosis. She was a constant in his life and was very devoted during his treatment and helped care for him until the very end. We appreciate all of the care she gave him. Alex’s baby sister Josie, took on a very important role during his illness. She not only took him to so many chemo and radiation treatments but she also made sure he had the very best care at home. She remained strong for all of us and made sure that we all knew how serious it had gotten so that we all would spend as much extra time with him as possible. Thank you Josie. Our brother Ron, also was a constant during this time. He loved and cared for Alex. He also made it possible for him to spend his last moments at home surrounded by family. He was always so humble. Thank you Ron! His Sister Rosetta, spent countless hours at his bedside doing whatever needed to be done. Our Mother Rosemary is so strong. Alex moved into her home during his illness and you can imagine the sadness she had to endure watching her son day in and day out but always remaining hopeful and strong for a better outcome. Even on some of the hardest days she always kept going at the restaurant. She is a true testament to strength and such an amazing role model for our family, a true Matriarch. Lastly, Alex had 2 very special loves in his life, his dogs Snickers and Mellow. They loved being by his side and surely miss him.

Alex was one of those once in a lifetime people you meet and instantly become great friends. He treated everybody in the place like lifelong friends and always made you feel special. My heart goes out to his wonderful family as well as everyone who became “family” for he will truly be missed by all.

My sincere condolences to the Failoni family. Alex always made you feel like a million bucks when you went into Failoni’s…greeted with a “Hey Babe,” followed by a smile, a big hug and a kiss on the cheek. And that voice, he always sang “The Summer Wind” for me. I will miss him.

I am an old neighbor of the Failoni family and am saddened by the death of Alex. I can still clearly see the young Alex I remember running around in the yard across the street. Alex was always so friendly and smiling. While he was a little mischievous (in a good way) he was committed to watching after his younger brother and sisters. I will always will have fond memories of he, Rosetta and Victor. You couldn’t have better neighbors than the Failoni family. Mr & Mrs Failoni we’re always SO much fun. A high energy loving couple. Their love spilled across the street to bless my family too.
While I haven’t seen Alex or his family for many years, please know you meant a lot to the Patti family. Your impact on us remains a very positive influence even after all these years. Our most sincere condolences and love to all of you.

We had the pleasure of meeting Alex individually over 30 years ago and were immediately welcomed like family. Working across the street allowed us unlimited access to his talent, love and his remarkable family. We are honored to be part of this special group and send all our love to the Failoni family. He will be missed.

Uncle Alex,
Your presence will be missed every single day. It’s hard to imagine someone as bulletproof as you being gone… but here we are. Cancer took you from us but your memory will live on forever.
I’ll never forget sitting on the bar at Failonis as a little girl, watching football with you, Otis and Uncle Vic. I cherish those times with you and your family so much. You will forever be one of the best hug-givers ever!!! Your love for singing brought so much joy to this world. We will miss you. Until we meet again… xoxox

Our prayers to the Failoni family during this difficult time. We feel so lucky that Alex was a small part of our life. No matter if you walked into Failonis or Uncle Leos he would greet me with his infectious smile, a hi babe, a hug and kiss on the cheek. He always made you feel like family. My husband and I will truly miss him.

My condolences to the entire Failoni Family on the passing of this truly Great Man.
I have known Alex for over 30 years. He was a kind, considerate, generous Human Being whose absence will certainly create a void in all of our lives.
Rest In Peace My Friend.

My heart was torn yesterday when I read the obituaries. It was then I understood why Alex wasn’t at Failoni’s when I was last there some six months ago. I assumed he had a night off. If only I’d known. The fact that cancer took him has a deep irony for me. Some 16 years ago, after my wife died of cancer, I finally couldn’t bear the silence in our home any longer. Someone suggested Failoni’s to me, so I wandered down there one Thursday evening. I sat alone at the bar and just watched the whole thing unfold. I talked a bit with Alex and then a bit more. I returned again and again over several years as I dealt with the grief of loss and little by little, Alex and the Failoni family helped nudge me back toward the sunlight. Bit by bit, I found a little joy again listening to Alex sing and seeing the enthusiasm of the crowd. Over time I met Rosemary, Rosetta and the rest, all wonderful people. I thanked Alex over the years, but want to do so here publicly. Had I known he was battling, I would have been there. I’m sorry. So, if I can offer one bit of condolence, it is to the family and friends: Always remember that Alex is not really gone. He has simply gone ahead. I hope the family’s journey to find peace will be a brief one.

Sincere condolences to the entire Failoni family. Alex Jr. had a personality that would fill and light up a room. Our many Blues staff lunches were always made so special by the Failonis. We felt like family there. I always think of Alex when I hear a Sinatra song. He was a gift to those who knew him. RIP

I had the pleasure of growing up across the street from Alex and the Failoni family. Since I can remember Alex was always a character, always had a great smile and could always make me laugh. This is a terrible loss for the Failoni family and everyone who grew close to Alex over the years. The sorrow expressed in all of the comments posted here are a testament to Alex and how he shared his genuine hospitality with anyone who entered the restaurant, his sense of humor and, of course, his wonderful voice. God’s speed old friend. See you on the other side.

I cant remember a single time in 45 years Alex did not have a smile on his face, He always had a hug or a kind word. He was a product of his family and the love they all share. We are better for knowing him. I pray we will remember him with joy and laughter, and a little kindness for those around us. Trying to live the Alex way.

I just found out about this. I would have paid my respects if I had known earlier this week. I see that Amy commented, but I think I should say, when I worked at Copying Concepts everyone loved Failoni’s and Alex. I remember him singing. Always keep singing. Music can lift you up at the darkest times. I guess he knew that, too.

Alex was a talented, amazingly generous person. We couldn’t wait to bring Ed’s mother, Rosalie, to hear Alex sing like Frank Sinatra after we heard him for the first time. He was so good, Rosalie insisted Alex was lip syncing Frank’s songs!! Alex eventually came over to sing just for Rose; her eyes grew huge when she realized it truly was Alex’s gorgeous voice.
Our family and friends celebrated Ed’s 50th birthday at Failoni’s, and it was a BLAST! Alex and the Failoni’s always made their customers feel like family.
We wish you belated condolences on your huge loss. Alex was a gift to so many of us.
