Micheal T. Alexander, 70, of Springfield, Massachusetts passed away unexpectedly on February 16, 2026, while visiting his son in Conway, South Carolina. Born on November 9, 1955, in Boston, Massachusetts. Micheal was the beloved son of the late John and Mary Alexander (McDonald). He was educated in the Springfield School System and obtained an Associate in Science degree from Springfield Technical Community College. He made Springfield his lifelong home. Michael worked locally for many years and later retired from Mount Holyoke College, where he served as a dedicated supervisor for 32 years. After retirement he began working for Community Transportation. He was known for his strong work ethic and quiet leadership. A man of deep and abiding faith. Michael lived a simple life centered around love for his family and trust in God. Family meant everything to Michael. He shared 52 loving years with his devoted wife, Theresa Williams of Springfield. Together they built a life grounded in commitment, faith, and family. He was a proud and devoted father. He leaves his children Micheal Alexander, Jr (Joanne), Sean Alexander (Keisha), Angela Coleman, Nathaniel Jackson, Davon Reynolds, and N'Shira Jackson. He was predeceased by his son Cedric Williams, grandson Zavia Williams, and granddaughter Kayla Coleman.

Michael enjoyed life's simple pleasures. He especially loved spending time with his family and grandchildren. In his leisure time, he enjoyed many trips to the casino for Bingo and gaming, where he found both excitement and fellowship. Michael will be remembered for his steady presence, strong faith, devotion to his loved ones, and the quiet strength with which he lived his life. His love and legacy will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
