Alex Michael Debbink

Alex Michael Debbink, 33, unexpectedly passed away Friday, December 29, 2023, as a result of cardiac arrest. Alex is survived by his wife Emily Booth; his parents, Christine and Michael Debbink; and his brother Andrew Debbink (Jessica Lustman). Those who preceded him in death include his paternal grandparents, Marvin and MaryAnn Debbink; his maternal grandparents, Betty and Richard Young; and his aunt, Cindy Kalmerton.

Alex grew up in Mequon, WI and lived most of his life after college in Chicago, IL. His co-workers at Ernst and Young knew him as one of the top performers in the firm, but even more than that a dedicated mentor and friend. He also organized efforts with the Boys and Girls Club and College MAP programs to support youth growth and development. Beyond work in the community, Alex was known by all of his friends and family as someone who passionately supported his loved ones and was fully present in every moment.

Alex supported others through his passing, just as he had in life. Alex saved four lives through the donation of vital organs, and enhanced other lives through tissue donation.

A service to celebrate his life will be held at the River Club of Mequon on Saturday, January 13, 2024 at 1:00pm, with a reception to follow lasting until 4:00pm. Instead of flowers, Alex’s family requests that donations be made to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Chicago, a charity of your choice in Alex’s name, or to Alex Debbink Memorial which his family will distribute amongst other causes close to him.
