‘Praying for His Family’- Devastated by Beloved Mentor’s Death, Serena Williams’ Husband Alexis Ohanian Pens Down a Touching Ode

American WTA legend Serena Williams‘ husband Alexis Ohanian has earned both fame and wealth after he co-founded Reddit. The 39-year-old millionaire is one of the few people who, even after touching the heights of greatness, never forget the steps that led them to it. Along the way, Ohanian had people who did not believe in his dreams and thought they were a far cry. However, there were also people who pushed him to do better, believing in his abilities. Recently, Ohanian lost one such mentor to cancer, and soon after, he took to Twitter to express his emotions on the profound loss.

Rick Wolff, the long-time WFAN host, and editor passed away on April 10, 2023. Unbeknownst to many, Wolff was a part of Alexis’ life and career, with regard to his book “Without Their Permission”. Alexis revealed his intimate bond with the recently deceased mentor and spoke about a time when nobody but Rick took a chance on him.

Alexis shared the New York Post article that covers Rick’s death, and penned a heartfelt message in honor of the man. He wrote, “Rick took a huge chance on me long before anyone thought I could be a best-selling author and I know WoTP [Without Their Permission] was 100x better thanks to Rick’s advice.” 

However, Alexis made it clear that Rick’s influence was not just limited to the role of an editor in his life. It went beyond that, into the “great” personality he harbored. “And even more than a great Editor, he was a great guy. Thinking of and praying for his family ❤️”, said Ohanian.
