Brent James Alexander

Brent James Alexander, age 36, passed away on Monday, April 13, 2020 at 7:11 AM at his residence in Jefferson, LA. Brent was known to be friendly, with a ready smile, and a firm handshake. His charismatic personality won him the hearts of people young and old. He was a great son, coworker, friend, neighbor, brother, significant other, dad and brother-in-law. He loved to see his loved ones happy and if you needed help with anything he was willing to help you. Brent resided in Jefferson, LA from December 2015 until his death. Despite several medical conditions since the age of 14 months old, he always kept a positive demeanor and selfless spirit. He is survived by his three sons, Logan James and Brodie Paul Alexander of Nashville, TN and Gabriel Michael Alexander of Baton Rouge, LA. In addition, Mr. Alexander leaves behind his three brothers, Jon and Kade of Uptown New Orleans, his youngest brother Eric of Marrero, LA and his half-brother Randall Scott Alexander of Lake Charles, LA.

Robbins of Marrero, LA Eric Jr.’s mother; his mother, Susan Louviere Hubbard and stepfather, Robert W. Hubbard, Jr. of Carencro, La, formerly of Destrehan, LA; a host of cousins and “adopted” brothers, survive Mr. Alexander.
