Alex was born January 31st, 1991 in Dayton to Randy Willhelm and Susan (Konold) Willhelm. He was a Bellbrook High School graduate and played on the Golden Eagles Football Team. He was currently employed as a Case Manager for Central Ohio Specialty Care.

Alex loved the outdoors! He loved fishing, kayaking, hunting, hiking, mountain biking, and spending relaxing times at his family houseboat on Norris Lake. Alex was enamored with his family especially his nieces and nephews. He was an avid sports fan and thoroughly enjoyed his OSU Buckeyes. In fact, nobody was allowed to talk to him during the games. Alex had fun with his high school and college friends, work and volleyball league friends. He took pleasure in his job and relished helping his patients and their families.
