Edward Louis Alexander Obituary (1960 - 2024)

If anyone should ever write my life's story, for whatever reason there might be. Tell them I was born the third child to the proud parents Eugene and Inell Smith-Alexander, on January 23, 1960 in Austin, Texas. On Monday, February 26, 2024 at 1:15 pm God said unto me, well done, my good and faithful servant; thou has been faithful over a few things, enter into the joy of thy Lord. I completed my formal education in the Austin Independent School District, attending Allan Elementary, Martin Middle School and graduated from Crockett High School in 1978. In high school I found my first part time job at the Chess Kings Men's Clothing Retail, I enjoyed what I was doing so after graduation I continued in retail at Scarborough's and later at Dillard's Department Store in men suits and was there until my health said no more. After a good rest I served as a crossing guard for AISD for two years at Winn Elementary and J. T. Brackenridge Academy. I accepted Christ at an early age by attending church with my Mom. But my real work for Him didn't start until I joined the St. James Missionary Baptist Church on June 19, 1981. I served as treasurer for the Young Adult Choir for many years before transitioning to the Mass Choir where I served and praised until my health failed. I stopped singing but I never stopped Praising. My parents, Eugene and Inell Smith-Alexander, my older brother Willie Eugene Alexander, my older sister Ruby L. Alexander and brother-in-law Ray Clay, preceded me in my home going. I leave to cherish our many precious memories my sisters, Inell Alexander, Verda Clay and Darlene Alexander. One brother Kirkwood Alexander (LaJuana), sister-in-love Betty Alexander all of Austin, Texas. My God sent family, Billy Steen, Lester Hunter, Katherine Moseley and Patrick Caldwell, whom I loved as if they were blood kin. And my loving nieces, nephews, cousins and good friends.
