Willie enjoyed building cars that would out run his brother’s car. He loved going to the mountains and playing cards, particularly Texas Hold’em. He worked until a bad motorcycle accident disabled him. Willie was a loving brother and uncle. He will be dearly missed.

He is survived by his brother, Steven Alexander of Salisbury and his sister, Jennifer Smith of Kannapolis and his nieces, Virginia Harris and Christi Gasca and nephews, Boyd Alexander, Casey Mowery and Michael Alexander.
