Alexander graduated high school in Brooklyn, New York and attended Texas Southern University in Houston majoring in Photography. He professed his love and faith in Jesus Christ and was a member of the Daily Bread Church.

Alexander was a Korean War Veteran. In June 1952, he enlisted into the United States Army and graduated infantry school to join the 82nd Airborne Division specializing in parachute assault missions. He was honorably discharged and remained a proud veteran for the rest of his life.

One of Alexander’s greatest passions was his love for the outdoors. He was a gun collector, an avid fisherman and hunter. Alexander was also a skilled photographer and loved aviation and aerospace. He was charismatic, funny, and loved telling stories to his family and friends. He never met a stranger.

In 1950 he married Dorothy Mae Knowles Navy, and from this union three beautiful children were born-Deborah Ann, Marilyn Joyce, and Alexander Navy III. In 1960, the family moved to San Jose, California.

Alexander worked at General Motors and retired after 30-years of service.
