Alex Barkas

From Prospect Venture Partners

It 
is
 with
 great
 sadness 
that 
we
 share 
the 
news
 that 
our 
partner 
Alex
 Barkas
 passed
 away 
on
 November
 21,
 2011, 
suddenly
 and
 unexpectedly. 
Alex
 was 
an 
extraordinary father, 
and
 husband, 
friend
 and
 colleague,
 deeply 
admired
 and 
respected
 by 
all 
who
 had
 the
 special 
privilege 
to 
know
 and
 work
 with 
him. 
In
 nurturing
 those 
that
 he cared
 about 
the 
most,
whether
 it 
was 
his 
family,
 friends,
 colleagues, 
entrepreneurs or 
his
 charitable 
interests,
 Alex 
brought 
passion,
 wisdom, 
sincerity
 and 
an 
unrivaled love 
of 
life.
 Alex
 leaves 
behind
 for 
us 
a 
legacy 
of hope
 and
 commitment 
to 
achieve
 greatness 
with 
kindness,
 care 
and 
perseverance.
 He 
will 
be very 
deeply 
missed.  

Our condolences to his family and all who knew him.
