U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Alex Viola, 29, was killed Nov. 17, 2013, in Kandahar Province, Afghanistan, from wounds caused by an improvised explosive device. Originally from Keller, Texas, Viola was an engineer assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 7th Special Forces Group at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. He was awarded numerous awards for his service, including the Army Achievement Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Army Good Conduct Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal and the Army Service Ribbon.

Viola traveled often and worked out at many CrossFit affiliates. Some of his favorite movements were pull-ups, power snatches and power cleans. He also enjoyed running.

Viola is survived by his parents, Margaret and Frank; and his sister, Christina.

Matt G repping it out, and no doubt moving smooth and under control. This dude is a really well-rounded CrossFitter who has worked hard to be balanced in all areas of his fitness. He’s got an easy way about him and a laid back demeanor, but he’s still full of drive and motivation when it comes to his fitness. He’s friendly and polite, and well liked by all who know him. Keep it up, Matt! 😁

G - Money Matt tip toeing around on the pull up bar. Matt’s a high skilled dude with the strength and engine to do it all. He’s worked hard over the years and become a well rounded CrossFitter that visits the pain cave regularly. Matt has also formed a lot of friendships along the way that’s helped numb the pain of staying fit. He’s a great guy who’s always the same guy and that’s hard to do. Matt’s gotta great family and they’ve only added to CFHSV. You the man Matt!

Matt! Reppin' those toes to bar with ease! Matt is super laid back, always has a smile and quietly puts up big scores every single day. He is a well rounded athlete who can do it all. He runs with a supportive crew and it's always fun to watch them push each other in the back left corner of the gym. Matt and Kayla are doing a great job of paving the way for their little girl. I can't wait until she's old enough to join us at CrossFit Kids!
