Alexander Falcon Rothwell of Westport and Remsenburg, NY, treasured son of Susan and Jim Rothwell and adored brother of Zachary, died unexpectedly on Aug/ 12, 2013, at the age of 13.

Joyous, singular soul, fearless explorer, adventurous spirit, fiery and sensitive, impulsive tinkerer, brilliant mathematician, science Olympian, voracious fantasy reader, Clash of Clans addict, ocean lover, prodigious builder of all things, and reluctant paddle board champion, Alex's blazing smile lit the way. His death devastates those he touched, yet our hearts overflow with the utmost pride in his life -- in his intelligence, his wit, his energy, his beauty, and his unwavering faith in his ideas.
