Meatball, Alcon Cornelius, A Dub, 006, Baby Bull, AWOL, Al, Sizzly, Mayhem, Al Pal. You know you have lived a full life when your list of nick names is longer than most lists of close friends and when those who call you a friend consider you one of their best. With family at the center, his global tribe grew exponentially throughout his life. He left us all too soon. Alex was one of a kind. Many may be defined by career, but Alex was so much more. His interests could not be contained. Equal parts James Bond, John Wayne, and Hunter S. Thompson, he lived life with verve in all directions. He traveled voraciously attacking each continent with vigor. He golfed, hunted, and played chess, but also dared himself to anything requiring fearlessness: heli-skiing, dirt biking, and car racing kept his adrenaline level at the optimal Mach 10. A lifelong MENSA member, his mind was equally never at rest. Armed with a political science degree he broke into the highly-competitive world of investment banking in San Francisco, eventually earning a place on Barron’s Top 1000 Advisors list. Alongside investing, film making was his passion. He produced and executive produced many films including the latest, Give Me Liberty, which earned a spot in the National Board of Review’s Top 10 Independent Films. He never left an argument on the table, a shot in the glass or person in need. He donated generously, debated heatedly, joked endlessly, and lived passionately. Alexander J. Witherill was born on October 30, 1968 and passed away May 11, 2020. He is survived by his mom, Carol Pike, and his sister, Andrea Witherill, alongside a tribe of dear family and friends. He was deeply loved and will be profoundly missed.
