WILLIAM IOVENKO Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Sep. 10 to Sep. 11, 2018.

WILLIAM BINGHAM IOVENKO 1970--2017 Born in New York City to Sallie Bingham and Michael Iovenko (deceased). Will was the the grandson of Mary and Barry Bingham, partner of Cheri Smith, beloved youngest brother to Barry Ellsworth and Chris Iovenko, precious father of Sadie and Michael Iovenko, uncle of Ariadne and Iona Ellsworth,and cherished friend of Robert Tyrell and Matt Gatton. He struggled with demons all his life. In spite of many efforts to find help for him, he remained broken-hearted. Finally, sixteen months ago, he went off into the Colorado wilderness, searching for peace. He froze to death there, leaving all of us who loved him trying to remember Horatio's speech at his friend Hamlet's funeral: "He loves him not who would on the rack of this tough world stretch him longer." In his memory contributions may be sent to the Interfaith Community Shelter in Santa fe, NM.. The Interfaith Community Shelter 2801 Cerrillos Rd. Santa Fe, NM 87505 (505) 795-7494 https://interfaithsheltersf.org/donate/

I got to know Will like so many others by way of growing up in the highlands neighborhood years ago. Will always met me with a smile and a firm handshake. He loved his family,kids,many friends, and the great outdoors. You will be missed by all William...

This morning we read the sad news of the death of William. Having known the loss of friends, siblings and parents, but never a beloved child, we send our sympathies in grief to all who loved him.

Dear Sallie, sorry to hear of the loss of your son. Years ago at the radio station, your face brightened with joy while speaking about your children. I am certain that Will felt your love throughout his life. Peace to the family.

So sad to read of Will's passing. I remember when he turned 13 -- the year I joined the staff of The Courier-Journal in Louisville. May his memory be a blessing, and Sallie, may you find peace as well.
