'I want all those people out there to know that she loved you all, she cared about you,' her husband said

Former porn star Raven Alexis has died at the age of 35. Her untimely death was reportedly the result of an infection and sepsis from the Crohn's disease she was suffering from for some time. She died on March 23 in Las Vegas as her devastated husband announced, “She went in Sunday night with some complications and some stomach Crohn's/colitis issues she had dealt with, ended up getting some infection and passed away yesterday at 12:44.”

He also noted, “I want all those people out there to know that she loved you all, she cared about you, and I'm just so blessed to have her in my life and be a part of my life. ... She was the absolute world to me, the love of my life.” Alexis, who earned a 2011 AVN Awards nomination for Best New Starlet, worked with Digital Playground between 2009-2010.

She also had her own membership sites like RavenAlexis.com and RavensPlayhouse.com and got the opportunity to work in projects such as Exile Pictures' ‘The Graduate XXX: A Paul Thomas Parody’, Axel Braun's ‘This Ain't Ghostbusters XXX 3D’ for Hustler Video, and Third Degree Films' ‘The Official Revenge of the Nerds Parody’. In 2011, she was awarded with a pair of AVN trophies for her scene in the DP feature ‘Body Heat’ with Kayden Kross, Riley Steele, Katsuni, and Jesse Jane.

In 2011, Alexis found herself embroiled in a controversy after talking about her battle with stage four cancer on Howard 100 News. At the time, she had told Jon Leiberman: “Chemo is hard ... not eating is really hard. Some days are really good, some days are really bad.” But then her ex-fiance Dirt Junior accused her of lying about her cancer.

Meanwhile, after her sudden death, tributes poured in for her on social media. A user tweeted, “It's very sad &  so unexpected.” The second user wrote, “I knew her before she came to LA - Peace be with you.” Erotic photographer Holly Randall said: “Oh man, that is so sad… I’d shot her a few times (that’s actually my photo), and I remember her as always really nice to work with.”

Replying to Randall’s tweet, a person noted, “As someone with Crohn's, her manner of passing is always an unfortunate, immediate possibility for us. My condolences to her family & friends. Feel proud that your picture of her is considered the standard of publishing; it may well be how some will come to remember her image.” “Same. This shook my to my core. She was so young. Its too sad. So much love and healing vibes to anyone who knew her,” another person mentioned.

A tweet read: “I always liked her. Too young  condolence’s to all who knew her.” Another tweet said, “God Blessed you Alexis you’re were a Wonderful Candy Woman in This World 🌍 and the Lord Loved and brought you Home to Be with Him 😇🌹💋🎥🍷🍪!!!!!!! Now you can Be Happy Young Woman 💋you Will be Missed Alexis Raven 🌹🥀🐝 Kisses 🐝!!” “RIP former Ideal Image Model Raven Alexis / on behalf of the staff our condolences to her family- 😥,” Ideal Image Model, a Los Angeles based talent agency, added.
