Eugene Alexander

Eugene Alexander, of Salina, Kansas, passed away peacefully on Thursday, August, 28, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and cherished memories.

Born in Mobile, Alabama, on October 5, 1949, Eugene was the son of Alberta (Payne) and James Alexander, Jr. After completing his education, he proudly served in the Army National Guard. He later dedicated many years to working in maintenance at Salina Regional Health Center.

Eugene found joy in the simple pleasures of life—watching Salina Liberty games, bowling, fishing, and sharing stories from the past with his family. His love for sports was matched only by his love for his grandchildren, whom he delighted with thoughtful gifts on holidays and just because.

He is survived by his ex-wife, Theresa Newell; three daughters, Farrah Evans, Roslynn Outland-Jones (Larry), and Wendy Alexander; one son, Jemarcus Alexander; and siblings Aretha Alexander, Willie Mae Alexander, James Alexander, Richard Alexander, Robert Alexander, Henrietta Alexander, Annette Alexander, John Alexander, Carl Alexander, and Donna Alexander.

Eugene also leaves behind seven grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, and a host of nieces and nephews who will miss his warmth and storytelling.

He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Leon Alexander.

A memorial service will be held at 3:00 PM, on Saturday, August 6, 2025 at Grace Baptist Church in Salina, Kansas.
