It all started by blending  two families.

Alexis and Tim met in fall of 2015 and began dating. Alexis had Matt, a 13 year old boy she had adopted from foster care as a single woman. She also had Taz and Roxy two boxer pups. 

Tim had Fiona (10) and Diego (8) from a previous marriage and Penny, a Doberman. 

After dating for two years Alex and Tim were married in Newport Beach, kids and pups came together living in Huntington Beach. 

Alex is an attorney who’s career took her into telecom, where she worked building big fake trees (cell phone towers). Tim has worked for Riverside County Sheriff’s Office for almost 18 years. He is currently an investigator. 

The family enjoyed spending time together camping, spending time at the beach, traveling, and seeing live music. Alex enjoys daily yoga, while Tim enjoys Mt biking, climbing and running. 

As Tim and Alexis built there new life with careers, kids, church, and pets, they also wanted their family to grow with more children. In 2019 they bought a house in Costa Mesa and became foster parents. In 2020 Paisley (2years) joined the family. 

As time progressed over the next year and a half, Alex and Tim established a lasting relationship with Paisley’s birth parents.  Although not officially adopted, Paisley was a welcome addition to Alex and Tim’s home and is every bit a part of their growing family.

In 2021, Alex and Tim began fostering Quinn, (2years). Paisley and Quinn immediately bonded and became just like sisters. Quinn’s adoption was finalized in Feb 2023. 

As time passed the family progressed. Matt currently works as an electrician. Fiona is entering her junior year at UCLA pursuing a career in  Art Conservation. Diego recently graduated from high school and is preparing to serve a full time 2-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Paisley and Quinn are thriving in 1st grade and Kindergarten in Spanish dual immersion. 

Alex and Tim’s dedicated unity in faith and family continue on.

Alexis, we accomplished great things together, though it was really you who moved mountains and showed me how. I can’t thank you enough for the kindness and patience you’ve shown me. You exemplify professionalism in every sense of the word, and I wish I had spent more time with you. You will be deeply missed, Alexis. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family—may they find peace and comfort. God bless you.

Sending condolences, love, and a beautiful memory lock box for Alexis’ partner and children to always carry her rad soul, huge heart, and memories with them, always. I didn’t know her, but her heroism is evident in many ways, just by what I read and felt. I wish you all so much love and positive energy; and strength to you, Dad. A hero, you will always be, Alexis Dunlap. ✨

Alexis was a brightly shining light who illuminated the world around her. We worked together and many of our common coworkers have shared with me their sentiment that she was inspirational not only on the job but also in life. “Rainbows & Unicorns” was a motto that she impressed upon us when faced with the various challenges inherent with reforesting our urban landscape with fake trees. Alexis has left this world a better place because of her joyous personality. Greg D.
