Alex Hoffman Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from May 24 to May 25, 2017.
Alex Sullivant Hoffman June 13, 1986 May 22, 2017 Alex Sullivant Hoffman, age 30, died at home on Monday, May 22, 2017. Born in State College, Alex graduated from Bellefonte Area High School, where he played basketball and was on the cross country and track teams. He later obtained an Associate Degree in Business from Allegheny Community College. Alex was a loving son, brother, and uncle. He had great aspirations, but struggled with addiction and depression and thus he never had a chance to reach his full potential in life. Alex was much loved by his family and many friends, and he will be greatly missed. He had a special place in his heart for Otto, the family dog. Alex enjoyed music and jamming with his friends. Alex is survived by his mother, Cathy Techmanski-Hoffman; sister and brother-in-law, Lindsay and Jon Bixler; nephew Carson Bixler; aunts and uncle, Susan and Jack Techmanski and Elizabeth Hoffman Bistline. He was preceded in death by his father, William Sullivant Hoffman; his grandparents, Gladys and Lynne Hoffman, Roberta and William Techmanski; and aunt, Jane Flynn. Funeral services and burial will be private at the convenience of the family. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to The John Lane Memorial Scholarship Fund at Bellefonte Area High School, 830 E. Bishop Street, Bellefonte, PA 16823. Online condolences may be made to the family at www.wetzlerfuneralhome.com.

So sorry for your loss and for Alex's pain he must have endured. Commending you for speaking out about Alex's depression and addiction - that takes courage.

Cathy
Words can never express how very sorry I am for your loss. Even though Alex struggled trough adulthood he still kept is caring heart when it came to others. I will always remember him as this little blonde headed boy pretending he was the Ninja Turtles.

Prayers to you and your family.
