Steven Alexander Obituary
Steven moved from New Orleans to Erie in 1991. He was employed by Plastek, Erie Seawolves and the Erie Events Center. Steven's nickname was "Mr. Gumbo" because he was well known for his Gumbo soup. He enjoyed puzzles, dancing, cooking and cheering on his favorite team, the New Orleans Saints. His greatest joy was raising his boys, being both mother and father after the passing of his wife, Cecelia in 2008.
Steven is survived by his sons, Steven P. of Minneapolis, Minn., and Wendell of Erie; daughter, Melinda Eichele of Conneaut, Ohio; and one grandson, Elijah Chase.
Steven was preceded in death by his wife, Cecelia (Rathburn) Alexander; and an infant daughter, Wilhemnia.
He will be sadly missed by many friends and family.
