Alex attended school in Louisa, VA and later relocated to Washington, D.C. where he was employed with several agencies as a vehicle (truck) operator.  He retired from work in 2010.  While in Washington, he attended St. John's Christian Power Church.

He enjoyed his family tremendously and was a dedicated Washington Redskins fan.  He loved James Brown, western cowboy movies and performing as a DJ at his famous cookouts.  Most importantly, he loved the Lord.  Alex was a people person and he loved joking, talking "trash" and being the life of the party.  Within our lives as well as our hearts, he will trulybe missed.

There are also four great grandchildren as well as a host of many nieces and nephews of whom he loved them all in his own very special way, which was noted by giving them necknames.  He also leaves a host of cousins, other relatives and friends.                                                                                                                                                                                                     Funeral services will be held at noon on Monday, April 28, 2014 at Standing on the Promises of God Church, 1201 Waldrop Church Rd, Louisa, VA 23093 with the Reverend Larry Holt, Sr. officiating.  Interment will follow in the First Baptist Church Cemetery.
