Support the Rothrock Family
With shattered hearts and enduring love, we share the passing of Xander Charles Rothrock, who left this world far too soon on April 30, 2025, at the age of 18. A senior at Ballard High School, Xander was a bright, bold, and unforgettable young man whose warmth and spirit lit up every space he entered. He never met a stranger—and once you met him, you never forgot him.
Born on March 12, 2007, Xander brought energy, mischief, and joy into the world from day one. Known for his stubborn streak and fearless heart, he lived life on his own terms—drumming with passion, tearing across the lacrosse field his freshman year, and cooking gourmet meals with a flair well beyond his years. He loved a perfectly cooked steak, a torched crème brûlée, and most of all, time with the people he loved. He was known by many names—Xandipoo, Xanderella, Xan Man, Spiderman—each one a reflection of his humor, character, and the many roles he played in others’ lives. He started working at Jak’s at just 14, quickly becoming a fixture in the restaurant with his strong work ethic and infectious personality.
This crowdfunding page is approved by the Rothrock family and is being created to help offset unexpected and unplanned cost related to Xander's unexpected passing. Any remaining funds will be reserved to go towards the future creation of a foundation in honor of Xander and to support the Xander Charles Rothrock Scholarship Fund.
