Family and friends of an Oakland County restaurant food server are mourning his loss after he was killed over the weekend as a result of high-speed police chase that ended in Warren.

Relatives identified the victim as Alex Habib, 28, a married father of two from Madison Heights, who died early Saturday in a car crash involving a Roseville police officer.

Warren police Lt. John Grajewski on Sunday confirmed the fatality, which remains under investigation.

According to Warren police, Roseville police initiated a vehicle pursuit around 3 a.m. Saturday that ended in a multi-car crash in the Van Dyke Avenue/11 Mile Road area.

Further details were not immediately available.

Roseville police administrators did not respond Sunday morning to a request for comment.

Habib apparently was an innocent bystander who was struck by one of the vehicles involved in the pursuit, according to friends.

He was married to Danielle and the two have two young children, 1-year-old Eleanora and Santiago, who is 3 months.

“His life revolved around his family — he was their strength, their protector, and their constant source of support,” relatives said in a GoFundMe request.

“Alex worked tirelessly to provide for Danielle and the kids, both emotionally and financially. He was a man of deep love, quiet strength, and unwavering dedication — someone who gave selflessly and always showed up for the people he loved. His loss is felt not just by his wife and children, but by all who knew him.”

Habib worked as a server at Jim Brady’s restaurant on Main Street in Royal Oak.

According to a social media message posted by management, the Jim Brady’s team of workers is “heartbroken” over his passing.

“We have lost a beloved member of our team,” the Facebook post said. “Alex Habib, who was loved by all those who came into contact with him, has been taken from all of those close to him far too early…The family appreciates any and all that we can do for them. Thank you from the bottom of our heart.”

As of Sunday afternoon, the GoFundMe effort has raised in excess of $55,000.
