(Tumwater, WA) Long time Tumwater coach, teacher and mentor Pat Alexander passed away on December 17, 2024. On Monday, March 17, St Patrick’s Day, there will be a public Celebration of Life for Coach Alexander in Tumwater High School’s gymnasium at 6pm. Everyone is invited and encouraged to wear green, kelly green to be specific.
Coach Alexander was the Head Wrestling coach at Tumwater for many years and assisted Sid Otton for decades as his defensive coordinator of the football team. The memorial will include eulogy’s from his son Kelly “Kip” Alexander and Coach Otton. Coach Alexander’s daughters Becky and Mary will also have a presentation along with some other surprises.
Kelly Alexander says they waited to do a Celebration of Life so the folks who wanted to attend had time to make plans to do so. He said,”I was talking with my sisters after he passed and we decided St Patricks Day was perfect. His football number was 17 and it’s all about the green.”
The Eli Sports Network will live stream the Celebration of Life on the NFHS Network. This will be a FREE stream and it will also be saved for those who want to be apart but cannot attend in person.
