In Loving Memory of Alexis Nicole Mazon

July 9, 1974 – September 14, 2026

“

Alexis brought joy and energy into the lives of everyone around her.

Alexis Nicole Mazon, a radiant soul and dedicated advocate for justice, passed away in San Francisco on September 14, 2026 after a courageous journey with a long illness.

Born on July 9, 1974, in San Salvador, El Salvador, Alexis brought joy and energy into the lives of everyone around her. She was a beloved daughter, loyal sister, doting aunt, and an extraordinary friend. She was preceded in death by her devoted mother, Mary Medina Mazon, and her dear brother, David Joseph Mazon.

Alexis is survived and lovingly remembered by her father, Javier (Mercedes) Mazon; her sister, Patricia Mazon & (Joshua) Feinstein; her aunts, Gloria Robinson and Marcia Soto; her nephew, Grey Feinstein; her nieces, Liza Feinstein, Arianna Mazon, and Isabela Garcia; and a cherished global community of lifelong friends spanning from California to New York, Minnesota, Italy, and beyond.

Remembered for her striking beauty, cascading reddish curls, and a laugh that effortlessly filled a room, Alexis lived life with warmth, passion, and quick-witted humor. She found immense joy on the dance floor, moving seamlessly to the rhythms of salsa, cumbia, and merengue. Above all, Alexis possessed a sharp mind and a compassionate heart; she instinctively saw those who were overlooked and used her voice to defend those treated unfairly.

“

Her career was a testament to her commitment to immigrant rights, labor reform, public defense, youth advocacy, and racial justice.

Alexis’s commitment to equity defined her life’s work. After graduating from Stanford University in 1996, she attended NYU School of Law as a Root-Tilden-Kern Scholar, earning her Juris Doctor in 2001. Over her distinguished career, she worked tirelessly as an advocate with the Youth Law Center, the City of Tucson Public Defender’s Office, the Partnership for Immigrant Leadership & Action, the UC Berkeley Center for Labor Research and Education, and Justice Strategies. Her career was a testament to her commitment to immigrant rights, labor reform, public defense, youth advocacy, and racial justice.

Alexis leaves behind a legacy of laughter, fierce integrity, and profound impact. She will be missed beyond measure.
