Michael Alexander

Michael E. Alexander, age 72, of Clarksville, Tennessee, passed away on August 9, 2026. He was born on November 12, 1953, in Ft Worth, Texas, to Theodore C. Alexander and Dorothy Lee Hardy.

Michael lived a life dedicated to his family, to God, his country, and his community. He proudly served his country as a United States Marine, carrying with him the honor, discipline, and commitment that came with that service.

After his military service, Michael continued his commitment to serving others in his beloved community. He proudly served as a City of Clarksville Council Member, City of Clarksville Police Officer, and a Montgomery County Sheriff's Deputy. In each of these roles, he dedicated himself to helping others and making his community a better place.

Above all, he was a family man. He cherished his family with everything he had. He loved his wife of 40 years and was a broken man when he lost her. He loved his daughter and his grandchildren. He couldn’t pass someone he knew without sharing proud stories of them. He was man of God and a proud Christian. His faith was an important part of his life, and he was a beloved member of Bethel Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Sango. His faith and love for the Lord guided him throughout his life and were reflected in the way he cared for others.

Michael was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Jennifer Alexander, and his sister, Vicky Alexander and both parents. While his family grieves his passing, they find comfort in knowing that Michael is now reunited with his dear wife, Jennifer, whom he loved deeply.

He is survived by his daughter, Sara (Noel) Price; his grandchildren, Noel Price Jr., Parker Smith, William Smith, and Kay Price; and his brother, Theodore (Ted) Alexander.

Of all the roles Michael held throughout his life, perhaps none brought him greater joy than being a grandfather. He loved his grandchildren with all of his heart and treasured the time he spent with them. His love, guidance, faith, and memories will remain a part of their lives forever.

Michael leaves behind a legacy of service, faith, love, and dedication. He served his country as a proud Marine, served and protected his community, served his church, and most importantly, loved and cared for his family.

Though he will be deeply missed, his family takes comfort in knowing that he is at peace and has been reunited with his beloved Jennifer. We can imagine the joy of that reunion and are grateful that the love they shared continues beyond this life.

May Michael Alexander rest in eternal peace, secure in the love of his Savior and forever remembered by the family, friends, and community he served so faithfully.

A Celebration of Life service will be Saturday, August 22, 2026 at Bethel Cumberland Presbyterian Church at 12:00 PM. The family will receive friends on Saturday from 11:00 AM until the hour of service.
