Alva Lee “A.L.” Alexander

Alva Lee Alexander, 75, of Bacliff, Texas, was surrounded by his family as he peacefully left his earthly body to be with the Lord on Feb 9th, 2016 at Clear Lake Regional Medical Center in Webster, Texas. He was affectionately known as “A.L. or AL” by his family and friends. A.L. was born the oldest of 7 children in Hewitt, Oklahoma, on September 12, 1940 to Clinton and Lois Alexander. A.L. and Pamela Alexander married on Dec 6, 1989 and shared the next 26 years together with their large, blended family. He is preceded in death by his parents and his brothers, Clinton Armond and Wesley Roscoe Alexander.

As a young man, A.L. was a painter and steeplejack by trade and a general manager for Able Maintenance. In 1979 he formed his own company, Liberty Tower and Painting, which serviced communication towers and flag poles and eventually specialized in flare work at numerous refineries and chemical companies throughout the United States. He was highly active in his business until December 1994, when he became semi-retired so that he could enjoy his time the way he wanted. His work opened up opportunities that allowed him to travel to many interesting places around the world. He remained the CFO and consultant of the family business until his death. As a dedicated son, brother, nephew, uncle, husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, friend, businessman, and entrepreneur, he was the pillar of his business and his family.

A.L. was an avid annual supporter of the Bayshore Little League, the Bacliff Volunteer Fire Department, and numerous charities and organizations. He had a deep love for America and patriotism, hard work, and helping others become successful. For those who knew him, these qualities were apparent in every aspect of his life.
