Gifted musician had a remarkable ability to master new instruments with ease, and music was his heartbeat
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Alex Barrett Katrick on February 20, 2025, in Winooski, Vt. Born on June 19, 1990, in Oregon, Ohio, Alex was the beloved son of Kimberly Daniels and Mark Katrick. Growing up in Ohio and Vermont, he graduated from Montpelier High School in 2008 and attended Berklee College of Music in Boston. A gifted musician, Alex had a remarkable ability to master new instruments with ease, especially the guitar and trumpet, and loved experimenting with electronic music. Whether composing, jamming with friends or immersing in new sounds, music was his heartbeat — an endless source of expression and resilience in the face of chronic illness. Alex’s sharp intellect and boundless curiosity led to explorations of mathematical theory, programming and experimental physics. He loved video games, philosophical debates and thought-provoking conversations. Alex had a unique way of seeing the world — blending humor, insight and a passion for discovery. Though prolonged illness sometimes created isolation, those who knew Alex will always remember a mind that never stopped seeking, a spirit that never stopped creating and a heart that left an indelible mark. Alex is survived by his parents, Kimberly Daniels of Marlboro, Vt., and Mark Katrick of Newark, Ohio; siblings, Nikolas Katrick of Marlboro, Robin Katrick of Burlington, Vt., and Nik’s spouse, Trey Wentworth of Marlboro; as well as loving aunts, uncles and cousins. Alex was preceded in death by his cherished grandparents, Albert and Clare (Wright) Katrick and Robert and Barbara (Barrett) Daniels, along with other beloved relatives. A private celebration of Alex’s life will be held on June 21, 2025, in Marlboro…
