Join us for a moment of remembering the life of Alex Tiphayachan. Alex was CRIL's Youth Coordinator in which he spent his time expanding accessibility on health and wellness, travel training, and outreach. He inspired many young adults and was a big part of the CRIL family.

On January 17th, 2026, Alex passed away. We send condolences and prayers to Alex's family who are taking this time to grieve. Alex will be deeply missed and his work within the community will never be forgotten.

Rest in peace Alex.
