William Arthur Elixman's life ended tragically on October 7, 2022 at the age of 56. Bill was preceded in death by his parents Harold and Patti (Maloney) Elixman, and his oldest brother Mark Elixman. He is survived by the love of his life, Debbie Hughes, for whom 32 years will never be enough.  He is also survived by his brother Jay Elixman, nieces, and nephews. Bill was born and raised in Spokane, Washington. He grew up playing football, basketball, and baseball while attending Finch Elementary, Glover Jr. High, and Shadle Park High Class of '84. Bill attended college at WWU and graduated from EWU where he was a Founding Father of Beta Theta Pi Fraternity. He was a proud supporter of EWU Athletics, especially passionate about football Saturdays in Cheney. Go Eags! Bill worked in the pharmaceutical industry specializing in women's health, starting his career as a sales representative, and ending as a National Sales Director. He was most proud of his professional accomplishments while working for Teva Pharmaceuticals where he built and led teams, won awards, and, most importantly, made many lasting friendships. Bill's travels took him over a million miles around the world. His favorite adventure was with Deb, his Uncle Dan and Aunt Pat as they travelled around Ireland. Bill was like a fine Irish whiskey: a warm, genuine spirit who was fun and easy to be around, and he just kept getting better with age. Sláinte. A memorial will be held at Kalispel Golf and Country Club Chairman's Room, 2010 W Waikiki Rd, Spokane, WA 99218 on Saturday, November 19 ^th from 1:00pm – 3:00pm.  Bill's online memorial page can be found at www.holycrossofspokane.org
