Eddie Elroy Alex, 68, passed away peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of love, adventure, and quiet strength. He was born on August 16, 1957, in Provo, Utah, to Mack Elroy Alex and Vera Marie Alex.

Eddie grew up in Provo and graduated from Provo High School. He continued his education at Utah Valley State College, where he studied accounting and electrical work—skills that reflected both his analytical mind and his hands-on nature.

Eddie had a deep love for the outdoors and found joy in some of life’s simplest and most meaningful moments. He especially enjoyed jeeping in Moab, camping under the open sky, and spending time fishing—places where he felt most at peace and connected.

He is survived by his former wife, Michelle Alex; his son, Jason Alex; and his daughter, Shantelle Thompson. He was a proud grandfather to Ellie Alex, Bailee Thompson, Mylee Thompson, and Cooper Thompson, who brought him immense happiness and joy.

Eddie was preceded in death by his parents, Mack Elroy Alex and Vera Marie Alex, and his brother, John Alex.

He will be remembered for his love of family, his appreciation for the outdoors, and the steady presence he brought to those who knew him. His memory will live on in the lives he touched, and the moments shared with those he loved.
