Dear University Community:

We are saddened to share news of the loss of 23-year-old Humboldt State graduate Alex Robbins, and we extend our condolences to his family and friends.

Alex died in a boating accident while fishing off the coast of California near Catalina Island on June 2. Alex was from Novato and a Forestry major who graduated a few weeks ago. Friends and family remember him as an authentic person with an infectious smile. He was kind and had a good sense of humor.

Alex was also passionate about fishing. He was on his way to compete in a college series national fishing championship, and he owned a company for angler clothing.

His death is a loss for the Humboldt State community and we are thinking of him and those who are close to him.
