Becky Conzelman at the OC Throwdown
Tributes continue to flow for former CrossFit Games athlete Becky Conzelman, who passed away aged 47 over the weekend.
Conzelman’s family announced her passing away on her Facebook Fan Page, just a week after she suffered a brain aneurysm.
“It is with very heavy hearts we share that our beloved Becky passed away this morning, April 6th, and was welcomed by her Abba Father.”
Conzelman competed at the CrossFit Games five times in total. After picking up the sport in 2009, the former professional cyclist wasted no time making a name for herself. After claiming her first ever Regional title in 2011, Conzelman went on to finish 14th at the CrossFit Games a year later.
She is also the co-founder of the CrossFit affiliate Faith RXD, a box which combines the Christian faith with fitness.
To celebrate Conzelman’s life, several affiliates are hosting workouts this weekend raise money for Faith RXD. CrossFit Steamboat will host a workout at 9 a.m. Saturday, April 13. While Back Country CrossFit will hold one at the same time. The workouts are open to anyone in the community and those attending are encouraged to consider making a tax deductible contribution to FAITH RXD via FAITHRXD.org/support.
Tributes continue to pour out on social media for the 47 year old. CrossFit HQ has also sent out condoleances, along with numerous athletes, coaches, and members of the community.
The team at The Rx Review is also very fond of Conzelman. Not only have we interviewed her several times during her competitive career, but we have had the privilege of working together with her at the CrossFit Games and spending some quality time with. She really is a loving and caring person with an amazing zest for life. Becky will certainly be missed by the team at The Rx Review, and the wider CrossFit community.
