Obituary

James Alexander, Sr., 77, of Mobile, AL sadly passed away on December 11, 2023 after a lengthy stay in NICU from cardiac arrest. James was born to Reo and Dorothy Alexander on December 19, 1945.

He instilled his morals and values in them. To his wife, he was loving, caring, and devoted. He made it a priority to still take her on dates 53 years later and continued making more happy memories to share.
