LAS VEGAS — Retired performer Raven Alexis passed away last week from complications related to Crohn's disease, according to relatives and industry associates. She was 35 years old.
On his Instagram account, Alexis’ husband noted that her gastrointestinal issues led to “infection and sepsis that were unexpected.”
Alexis was a popular performer, mainly associated with Digital Playground, from 2008 until 2011. A few of her 50-plus IAFD credits extend to 2018, although she had been retired since the early-to-mid 2010s.
In 2012, Alexis won the XBIZ Award for female "Supporting Acting Performance of the Year" for Digital Playground's "Top Guns."
After her adult career, Alexis operated an extremely successful beauty and cosmetic injection practice with her husband in the Las Vegas area. Their spa gained renown as a go-to Botox and lip injection specialist practice for a large number of adult entertainers, though some of their patients learned about Alexis’ past on-camera fame only after her passing.
"She had completely been able to remake her life in the beauty business, and with her family, after she left porn," an industry source who is one of their clients told XBIZ, noting that Alexis and her husband didn't particularly mention her adult industry name or career.
Alexis is survived by her husband and four children.
A celebration of her life is being planned for Saturday, April 2 in the Las Vegas area.
