James Alexander 1948-2021

Jim was born June 6, 1948, in Youngstown, a son of the late Melvin J. Alexander and Hazel L. Krichbaum and was a lifelong area resident.

He graduated from Boardman High School in 1966 and was an electrician / journeyman for Local Union 64 for 37 years, retiring in 2007. Jim was a dedicated husband and father and was passionate about providing them a good life. He built his home in New Middletown and most recently renovated a home for his daughter. Jim always loved a mental challenge — taking things apart and putting them back together — and he also loved vintage cars, especially the classic Corvette.

He will be dearly missed by his wife of 51 years, the former Bonnie Keck, whom he married March 13, 1970; and his daughter, Melodie Alexander of Canfield.

There will be graveside services at 2 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 20, 2021, at Greenhaven Memorial Gardens.
