Stetson Alexander Obituary

Visit the Speaks Suburban Chapel website to view the full obituary.

Stetson Dean Alexander passed away unexpectedly on October 30, 2025 in Independence, Missouri. He was 2 months old. Stetson was born to Dakota Alexander and Emily Robinson on August 14, 2025 in St. Louis, Missouri.

Stetson's entrance was a dramatic one, but he was a fighter and was sent home from the NICU after only six days. He had just started to interactively smile, loved being sang to, read to and most of all cuddles.

Stetson is survived by his loving parents, Dakota and Emily; his sisters, Sophie Layne Robinson, Sydney Grace Robinson and Sawyer Paige Johnson; maternal grandparents, Cliff and Jennifer Robinson, paternal grandparents, Troy and Tammy Alexander. He also has a doting great-grandmother, his Gigi, Pat and many aunts, uncles and cousins that love him.

A Celebration of Life will be at 3pm on November 15th at Open Arms Community of Christ, 1021 W College St, Independence, MO 64050.
