Prentice Lamar Alexander took his last breath on earth and his first breath in the presence of his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Saturday, January, 7, 2017, after 12 years of courageously battling cancer.
Prentice was born March 28, 1941, and spent most of his boyhood in Silsbee, Texas. He started working when he was 10 years old as a shoe shine boy, but was mostly known for his carpentry skills and construction company as well as being a local business owner. Prentice had a strong work and play ethic. He loved and enjoyed his family and friends, spoiled his grandkids, nieces and nephews, blessed others, traveled, and was intentional about making memories. He celebrated the gift of life and was a risk taker, riding Harleys, water and snow skiing....even up to 70 years old. Prentice enjoyed a good stogie with his son-n-law and special friends often and was a practical joker and teaser too! Music remained an important past time as he continued to play his guitar throughout his life. He remained a regular attendee and member of Lone Star Cowboy Church during his time in Montgomery, Texas.
Surviving are his wife Karla, daughter and son-in-law, Sonja and Eddie Lopez; his 4 grandchildren including Jacob, Grayson, Zoe, and Blakely; his sister and brother-in-law, Bernell and Henry Conn; and brother and sister-in-law, Chester and Darlene Alexander; and several nieces and nephews.
Services will be on Thursday, January 12, 2017 at Sam Houston Memorial Funeral Home with Pastor Scott Price officiating. Visitation will begin at 1:30p.m., the memorial service at 2:00p.m., and the graveside and burial will conclude Prentice’s going home celebration.
