As a Utah native and wild child, Alyx cultivated a passion for the outdoors and loved everything from skiing, rock climbing, riding motorcycles in the mountains, exploring Lake Powell, competing in Lacrosse, and longboarding down Provo Canyon. Alyx had a soft spot for everyone who crossed her path and had the ability to love those in her life deeply and unconditionally. She loved making others feel beautiful and showing them their worth.

She loved to buck the system and remind everyone just how comical and absurd life is. She had a life-long love affair with creamed corn and Wendy’s JBC’s, took fashion cues from no one, and was setting trends by the second grade.
