James Allen Alexander

of Little Rock, AR

February 8, 1961 - July 7, 2024

James Alexander, 63, of Little Rock went to be with the Lord on July 7, 2024. He was born February 8, 1961 in Little Rock to Glenn and Dot Alexander.

He was a loving father, son, brother and friend to all who surrounded him. He loved music, hunting, fishing, laughing and pulling jokes at any opportunity he could…. ask his cousins (above all, Tonya Noto), they will tell you the stories. He was also a very hard worker. He dedicated over 34 years to Lift Truck Service Center. He loved his work family and was especially close to Doug Fletcher who became his best friend.

His faith was very strong with the Lord, which helped him get through the last 2 years battling colorectal cancer. He fought so hard because his daughter, Cait, made him pinky-promise to her and God that he would. He had a very supportive family who would proudly wear Blue to show that he was not facing the challenge alone. Please feel free to wear blue to the services in his honor.

James is preceded in death by his father, Glenn Alexander; his grandparents on both sides and his grandbaby, CJ, whom he never got to meet. He is survived by his daughter, Caitlin Shaye Christensen; his mother, Dot Alexander Turnbo (Gene); his sister, Glenda Snow (Jeff); his niece, Hayleigh Breeding (Jared); his nephew, Brock Tittle; along with his aunts, uncles and cousins.

The visitation will be at Ironton Baptist Church on Thursday, July 11, 2024 from 6:00-8:00pm. His funeral service will be Friday, July 12, 2024 at 11:00am at Ironton Baptist Church as well. Brother Sidney Thompson will be officiating. The burial will be at Ironton Cemetery following the funeral.

We would like to give a special thanks to Dr. Lawrence Mendelsohn and his team of nurses at Carti Cancer Center.

James
Man, brother I can hardly believe or accept that you ain’t here.
We have spent a lifetime together the three of us, you, Jerry and I, and, although distance has kept me away, the bond in my heart has never broken.
You were the leader and our guide in our youth. We were so intertwined and I ain’t never forgot all of our escapades. More importantly though I remember that you inspired me to be a better human.
It’s time for you to rest now. I won’t be far behind and maybe then we can get back to running around and talking some smack. Say hello to the folks for me. Go sit with grandma a bit , look after our animals but most importantly keep touching our hearts and minds.

I met you for the first time almost 35 years ago when Jimmy brought me to Arkansas to meet his family after we were married. I was relieved to know that he had some normal family members and that they were plentiful and loving. We stayed with you each time we came to visit to I was able to witness Firsthand the bond between you and Jimmy as cousins, but more than cousins, like brothers. You welcomed us into your home and shared your beautiful family. We stayed up late reminiscing and cracking jokes and boy were you delightful. Such a warm heart. Jimmy will feel your loss A big way. Our hearts are broken, but I know we will see you again someday. Our hearts go out to the family as well, as we have expressed. He was much loved by many. God bless and keep you all through this time of sorrow.

James, I can only speak on my behalf, I thank you for the great friendship that we all had. Not only that, but you my friend started my nickname of Button. Thomas is at a loss for words, if there was anyone in his life that he adored it was you. Until we meet again. We love you James!
