Alexander Todd Ivey

Alexander Todd Ivey, 25, of Fayetteville, died unexpectedly on Thursday, July 16, 2015. He was born November 21, 1989, the son of Van and Becky Ivey. Alex earned the distinction of National Merit Scholar at Fayetteville High School, class of 2008, before attending the University of Arkansas on both a Chancellor's and Governor's scholarship. He majored in Psychology, and was fascinated by the study of the mind. He was a gifted musician, playing the baritone for the FHS marching band, and going on to play bass guitar for the Brothel Sprouts, who were named to the 2015 Arkansas Times Musicians Showcase. A die-hard fan of all things Star Wars from a very young age, we hope that his force will always be with us.
