Mr. Jack "Uncle Jack" Dean Alexander

A memorial service for Jack “Uncle Jack” Dean Alexander, 93, of Henderson will be held at 2:00 pm on Saturday, September 6, 2025, in the chapel of Crawford A. Crim Funeral Home with Lynae Hunt and Anna Rutherford officiating. There will be no visitation, but there will be time for visiting with the family immediately after the service. A private family burial will follow this visiting time. Uncle Jack’s favorite day of the year was his birthday, and after taking a turn for the worse on August 10, he rallied for his 93rd birthday, before peacefully passing away on Wednesday afternoon, August 13, 2025. He was surrounded by his loving Brookdale family. Uncle Jack was born August 12, 1932, in Henderson, Texas to Bernice Chilton (B.C.) and Bradie Mae (Berry) Alexander. He was a lifelong resident of Henderson. After his father passed away in 1993, he resided with his sister and husband, Sharron and Thomas Baker, until moving to Brookdale Henderson Assisted Living in 2010. After his retirement from the Rusk County Highway Maintenance Department, Uncle Jack enjoyed going to Livestock Auctions all around East Texas. As long as he was able, he loved his annual trips to California to visit his nephew and family. A trip to Disneyland and a walk at Crystal Cove beach was always a must during his California visits. He also loved to attend an annual Christian convention in Texarkana, and he would talk about “convention” and his “hotel” stay for weeks afterwards! And always, he appreciated visits from family and friends. During a car ride with family from Houston to Henderson in 2019, he shared that he made his choice to serve God when he was 10 or 11 years old. Uncle Jack was a follower of Jesus Christ, and it was seen in his love for God and people. He used few words, but his kind, thankful, loving spirit was felt and loved by every life he touched. Uncle Jack was preceded in death by his parents, B.C. and Bradie Mae Alexander; and his sister, Sharron Alexander Baker. Survivors include his brother-in-law, Thomas Baker and wife, Dee; Nephews: Kelvin Baker and wife, Julie of Villa Park, CA; Michael Baker and wife, Nelva of Klein, TX; David Baker and wife, Jerri of Princeton, TX; Brad Baker and wife, Jen of Waco, TX; Niece: Susan (Baker) Peter and husband, Gary of Conroe, TX; seven great-nephews and two great-nieces; several cousins and many friends.
