My condolences to the family and loved ones of Mr. Alexander. What a wonderful man he was. Always with a kind smile and disposition. Whether at Cottens´, when I first met him in the 1980s, to the time he was a bailiff in the courthouse, he was always a ray of sunshine.
What a wonderful life and legacy he leaves.
Rest in peace.

Mr. Alexander was affectionately known and he was a shinning light In the lives of all who knew him. At the Jacksonville Transportation Authority, he was labeled as a LEGEND!!! He trained me to become a professional bus driver.His passing has left a void, in the hearts of his family, friends and many, whose lives he touched. He truly will be missed!!

My heart go out to you during this time. Please know we are thinking of you. Mr. Alexander was my adopted Father in the courtroom. I learn so much wisdom from him My heart is so saddened. I know God doesn't make no mistake. Weeping endureth for a night but joy comes in the morning
