Jonathan L. Alexander, passed away peacefully on August 3, 2025, in Allentown, PA, at the age of 69. Born on September 24, 1955, in Chambersburg, PA, Jonathan's journey through life was one marked by dedication, love, and simple pleasures.

The son of the late Bruce and Dolores (Coleman) Alexander, Jonathan was a man whose roots ran deep into the heart of Pennsylvania. He carried forth the values instilled in him by his parents, shaping a life that would touch many with its genuine warmth and integrity.

For over three decades, Jonathan lent his skilled hands to Dent Manufacturing, where he was respected not only as a molder and a welder but also as a steadfast colleague and a true friend. His commitment to his craft was unwavering, and his reputation for reliability and excellence stood as a testament to his character. Even after his retirement, the legacy of his work remained a proud hallmark of his career.

Jonathan's younger years were filled with the thrill of the hunt, the freedom of riding his motorcycle, and the camaraderie found in his favorite local spots. These simple pleasures were the backdrop to a life lived fully and with contentment.

Survivors: Jonathan's life was enriched by the love and companionship of Anna McMiller, his partner of 35 years. Together, they navigated life's journey with joy and resilience, a testament to their enduring partnership,his loving sister, Peg Repasch, and her husband Ed of Allentown. He is also survived by his sons, Everett and Christopher Alexander, eight grandchildren, one great-grandson and many nieces and nephews.
