In Memory of Coach Alex Black

November 28, 2023 by Amy Faulk

Joel “Alex” Black III (July 5, 1974 – Nov. 22, 2023)

It is with Great sadness that I inform you that we lost a member of our NCS family, from accomplished swimmer as a youngster in the Winston Salem area, a respected Coach of several NCS Clubs and NCS Zone teams, Coach Alex Black passed away Wednesday, November 22, 2023 after a hard fought six and half years of colon cancer. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Betty, his son Joel, and the entire Black family during this time of loss.

If you knew Coach Alex in any capacity please share memories celebrating his enthusiasm and joy for life on our North Carolina Swimming FB page and on our Instagram @nc.swim Alex was truly one of a kind making a difference in the lives of many.  Life is Short, Live every day to it’s fullest. Coach Alex you will be missed by so many near and far. RIP Coach Alex Black
