John Bixby Obituary

Bixby, John SAN MATEO -- John Bixby, age 38, died unexpectedly in an automobile accident on Sunday, October 19, 2014. John was traveling from a friend's house in Modesto, CA to his home in San Mateo when his vehicle was struck by a drunk driver. John passed away shortly after from injuries resulting from the collision. John was born in San Diego, CA. He attended La Jolla Country Day School and then The Bishop's School, where he graduated Cum Laude in 1994 and was a National Merit Finalist. John went on to earn his Bachelors Degree in Economics from Brown University in 1998 and later his MBA from The Anderson School of Management at UCLA in 2008. He was a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity. John most recently worked as an Analytics Leader at Intuit in Mountain View, CA. He had a lifelong love of music, playing guitar from an early age and later developing a talent and passion for electronic music. John also had a deep love of the ocean, and grew up body- boarding at the beaches and reefs in La Jolla. He is survived by his parents Jim and Nancy Bixby of La Jolla; his brother, Scott, Scott's wife, Amy, and nephew Luke, all of Seattle. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to The Bishop's School Scholarship Fund.

I'm just hearing about the loss of John. We were close while he lived in Seattle. He was a unique guy for sure and could always bring a smile to my face with some of the cheesiness that came out of his mouth. John was a great guy and always will be.

I haven't seen John in a few months, since we worked together at Intuit, but it seems like only yesterday that we were having one of our exciting talks about technology. His eyes would light up and we always had a funny observation to share with each other. The world is less without him. His good nature, endless curiosity and energy were a gift to all of us who knew him in Mountain View.

I worked with John at Intuit and he's always helpful with anything I need data wise. A really great guy that I've enjoyed working with and definitely a shock to find out that he's no longer here with us. My condolences to his family.

I was totally shocked to hear about John. What an incredible loss it is for all of us. I thoroughly enjoyed working with John at Path 1 and knew he had so much potential on many levels. He was a really good kid—one who did his Dad and family proud. He is sorely missed. How unfair life seems to be at times like this.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and with your family as you deal with your loss.

I worked with John. He was a great soul --- always willing to share a joke and a laugh. Never afraid to lend a hand or to ask for help. We miss him dearly.

I mentored John when he first came to Intuit and I am so proud of his many accomplishments. I will miss his questions, his insights, his creativity, and his smile. We are working together through the emptiness of losing a beloved team member. To John's family and friends, we are so sorry for your loss.

John, you were like my second father. We've had a lot of good memories. You were such a great and amazing and intelligent guy. We may have argued quite a bit, but that didn't matter. It was only because you wanted the best for me. You were always worried about me and the choices I made and I appreciate that. I love you john, and I miss you. You didn't deserve this. I miss you. I miss sending those horrible ugly selfies of me to you. I miss seeing you every weekend. I just miss you. I wish I could've said goodbye. Your a great man. Love and miss you john ??
