SOMERSET - We are sad to announce that on April 12, 2024, at the age of 78, Alfred "Fred" Alexander Jr. passed away at home surrounded by his loving family after a long battle with cancer. Husband of Margaret "Peggy" (Nadeau) Alexander of 44 years. Born in Fall River, son of the late Alfred and Nohemia (Moniz) Alexander.

Alfred found joy in many things. He had a love of water and sunsets, the thrill of fishing, the timeless allure of old western movies, and the nostalgia of vintage cars. Yet, above all, his heart belonged to his family, cherishing every moment shared with them, especially during their vacations together.

Alfred was loved and cherished by many family and friends, including his children Alfred Alexander III of Somerset, Rebecca DeFilippis (husband Adriano) of Henderson, NV and Jill Silva (husband Nicholas) of Berkley; brother Lawrence Alexander of Fall River; 10 grandchildren Shane, Jalen, Jordan, Brayden, Nathan, Nohemia, Mia, Christian, Lilley and Alivia; great-grandson Colton; as well as several nieces and nephews.

Following cremation, a memorial visitation for Alfred will be held on Wednesday, April 24th from 8:30-10:30 A.M. in the Manuel Rogers Funeral Home, 1521 N. Main St., Fall River. A funeral mass will follow at Our Lady of Peace Parish at St. Thomas More Church, Somerset at 11:00 A.M.
