The Glens Falls community is reeling from the heartbreaking loss of two cherished young lives. Over the weekend, a tragic motorcycle accident claimed the lives of 22-year-old Suzie Etu and her boyfriend, 24-year-old Alex Morehouse. The news has sent ripples of grief and disbelief throughout the city, leaving families, friends, and neighbors grappling with an overwhelming sense of sorrow.

Suzie and Alex were more than just a couple—they were best friends, partners, and soulmates, known by those close to them as inseparable and full of infectious energy. Whether it was attending local events, taking weekend rides, or simply spending time with loved ones, the pair was constantly together, their deep bond evident in every interaction. They brought light and joy wherever they went, and their presence was a source of comfort and inspiration to many.

The accident occurred on a quiet stretch of road just outside Glens Falls, a place familiar to many and now forever marked by tragedy. First responders arrived quickly, but despite their best efforts, both Suzie and Alex were pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities are still investigating the precise cause of the crash, though early reports suggest that no other vehicles were involved.

News of the accident spread quickly, and the community’s reaction was immediate and profound. Vigils were organized within hours. Candles, flowers, photographs, and handwritten notes filled the corner of the street where the crash occurred. Social media has been flooded with heartfelt tributes, photos, and memories from friends and strangers alike, all touched in some way by Suzie and Alex’s story.

Suzie Etu, a recent college graduate, was known for her adventurous spirit, contagious laughter, and kind heart. She had dreams of working in social services, driven by a deep empathy for others and a desire to make a lasting impact. Her family describes her as compassionate, fiercely loyal, and always ready to stand up for those in need.

Alex Morehouse was a skilled mechanic with a deep love for motorcycles, a passion he shared with Suzie. He was often found in his garage working on bikes or offering help to friends in need of repairs. Friends remember him as hardworking, thoughtful, and always willing to lend a hand. He had a calm, grounded presence and was a source of stability for those around him.

Their love story, though tragically cut short, has become a poignant reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing every moment. “They were so young, with their whole lives ahead of them,” said one family friend. “But they loved deeply, and they lived fully. That’s how we’ll remember them.”

In the wake of this devastating loss, the Glens Falls community has come together in a powerful display of unity and compassion. Fundraisers have been established to support the grieving families with funeral costs and other expenses. Local businesses are contributing proceeds to memorial funds, and grief counseling services have been extended to students and community members alike.

Though the days ahead will be difficult, the legacy of Suzie and Alex will live on in the memories they’ve left behind and the love they shared with so many. Their story has become a symbol of young love, enduring friendship, and the importance of community in the face of unimaginable loss.

As Glens Falls mourns, it also remembers—and in remembering, honors two beautiful lives taken far too soon.
