Alexander Hall Pysher
December 3, 1987 - July 3, 2026
Our cherished son and brother Alex passed away unexpectedly on July 3, 2026 at the age of 38.
Alex was born in Salt Lake City, Utah on December 3, 1987. A love of Shakespeare began at Reid School from the early age of six. He attended Juan Diego Catholic HS where he participated in track, wrestling, football, la crosse, and drama in the title role of “Audrey” in Little Shoppe Of Horrors. He graduated from East Hollywood HS. where he developed his love in creative arts and film, and worked on several short films. He attended SLCC while pursuing his interest in the arts.
Alex and his brother, Jason were Altar Servers at St. Thomas More Parish and volunteered at The Days of Yore Festival. He loved rock climbing and considered building a climbing wall in his room. He shared many memorable Scouting adventures with his brother, Jason and Dad exploring the beauty of Utah and surrounding states.
Alex was a loving empathetic soul, who cared deeply about others and often times would “walk in their shoes”. His humility and ability to forgive and accept others for the good that lie within was a gift he had since childhood. He cared about the struggles of the most vulnerable and smallest of God’s creatures; rescuing a bird that had fallen from its nest as a child. He valued humanity and kindness. He believed in hope in an imperfect world. He found connection in verse and lyric through poetry and music. He loved the brilliant talent of Charlie Chaplin and his song “Smile”, and also the poetic honesty of Bruce Springsteen. Alex’s wit and spontaneous sense of humor was contagious and joyful. He loved his family and especially his brother, Jason. Most of all, he listened and comforted others through his tender heart. He had a gift in knowing that it is possible be kinder and make a difference in the lives of others in this world.
He leaves behind his Mother (Yanett), Father, (Theodore), Brother (Jason), many extended family members, friends, and the love of his life.
A vigil service will be held on Monday July 13 at 6:00 PM at Starks Funeral Parlor, 3651 South 900 East, where friends may continue to visit with the family after the service. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Tuesday, July 14 at 12:00 Noon at St. Thomas More, 3015 East Creek Road, Sandy.

So sorry for your loss. Such a great picture of him. I’m sure words cannot even describe the sadness and emptiness you feel with the passing of a son (or daughter) . Keep the faith and I can only hope that with time a little of the pain goes away. He is not physically here on earth but his spirit I’m sure will live on with his family and friends. God bless

I met Alex when I moved to Salt Lake City almost 10 years ago and liked him from that moment. He always told me I gave the best hug. He will truly be missed but he won't be suffering anymore. Love and miss you, Alex. Patti Woodward, an aunt by proxy(Flora Bernard)

My deepest condolences to the Pysher family. Alex was an important part of my life growing up in Utah. His energy and love for the creative arts was admirable. He had a true talent for acting and a deep love of film and literature. I will always fondly remember and cherish the memories of the adventures we had trying to make low budget films, hiking, listening to records, and discussing films in-depth. May we never forget the joy and wonder Alex brought to our lives. Rest in peace brother.
