Darryl Logan Alexander, a cherished father, husband, son, uncle, and friend, passed away peacefully at his home in South Boston, surrounded by his loving family, on September 19, 2025, at the age of 48, after a courageous battle with cancer. Born on April 7, 1977, in Brockton, Massachusetts, Darryl was a source of joy and support to all who knew him.
Darryl's professional career as an office service manager allowed him to touch the lives of many, as he dedicated himself to helping various companies improve their business practices. His expertise benefited notable organizations such as C & W Services, Marsh and McLennan, and Seyfarth and Shaw. Darryl was known not just for his professional acumen but also for his helpful, respectful, and cheerful personality which left a lasting impression on colleagues and clients alike.
He was a proud graduate of Brockton High School, class of 1995, and went on to build a life filled with love and accomplishment. He especially treasured attending the sporting events of his son, Ryan, and daughter, Hailey. He was so proud to watch Hailey do what she loved most, dance. Although he played football himself, ice hockey held a special place in his heart cheering on his son Ryan, intertwining his love for the sport with his passion for supporting his children.
Darryl is survived by his beloved wife, Erin M. (Finnegan) Alexander; his son, Ryan Alexander; and his daughter, Hailey Alexander. He also leaves behind his mother, Margo Christie; dad, Alan Christie; and deceased father, Glenn Alexander; brothers, Derek Alexander and wife Jessica and Alan Christie and wife Michelle; sister, Alison Stockman and husband Jason; brother and sister in-laws Corey and Tara Finnegan and Brooke and Keith Hughes and mother and father in-laws, Doreen and Peter Finnegan. In addition, he is survived by his nieces and nephews, and many relatives and friends who will honor his memory and appreciate his warm spirit.
Darryl Logan Alexander will be profoundly missed but fondly remembered for his unwavering support, cheerful demeanor, and the love he shared with his family and friends.
