John Alexander, 75, of Danville, died Sunday, July 28, 2024, at his home.
Born Feb. 1, 1949, in Burlington, he was the son of William "Bill" Ray and Betty Joan Odell Alexander. On Oct. 4, 1969, he married Lois LaVonne "Vonnie" Ash in Burlington. She died on July 15, 2011.
He was a graduate of Burlington High School.
John worked as a Master Electrician until his retirement. He was a proud member of the IBEW, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Union.
He was a member of Harmony Bible Church. John was also a member of the Car Club and Gold Wing Club. He took pride in his garden, especially his prized tomatoes. John always put everything into his work and could be known to be a little "extra" with the projects he worked on. He was a jack of all trades and affectionately referred to as "Mr. Wonderful". He enjoyed flying his drone, riding his motorcycles, had a vast collection of toys, and could always be found tinkering on something.
Survivors include two daughters, Dusty (Terry) Farren of Danville, and Julie Barton of Middletown; three grandchildren, Alexis (Trent) Hardin, Christofer (Trinity) Barton, and Taylor Barton; seven great-grandchildren; and sister, Connee Stevens of Burlington and several nieces and nephews.
Besides his wife, he was preceded in death by his parents and a brother-in-law, Tom Stevens.
A private graveside service will be held in Jaggar Cemetery at a later date.
