Titus Edgar Alexander (aka 'Tite', Uncle Tite, a Great Man of Exemplary Character, a Fine Son, a Caring Brother, an Adored Uncle, an admired Great Uncle and a Dear Friend and Mentor to Man) was the third child born to the union of Willie Alexander and Mae Collins Alexander. He was also the grandson of Newton Isaac Collins, Jr., and Grace Kendall Collins. He attended Pilot Knob Elementary School, which his grandfather built for African-American children to attend. At that time Travis County did not provide a school or a teacher to educate black children.
Titus, following the examples set by his uncles who served in their nation's military during WWI, answered the call to come to the aid of his country during WWII. He served with the 304th Aviation Squadron and was stationed at Kelly Air Force Base in Texas and at Tuskegee Army Air Force Base in Alabama where he served in the Medical Unit.
In distinguishing himself as a member of the military during WWII, Titus was awarded The American Theater Ribbon, The Good Conduct Medal, and the World War II Victory Medal.
During the Collins-Rucker Family Reunion in 2003, The Buffalo Soldiers Association conducted a special ceremony paying tribute to Titus (and two other family members) who served in our Nation's Armed Forces and for his courage as an American Patriot and admirable service to his country.
Titus Edgar Alexander leaves a great life of contributions, examples and love to be remembered by many surviving relatives and friends.
