Lee Alexander, pastor of Commerce's First Assembly of God Church from 1961 to 1993, died Thursday in a Dallas Hospital. He was 67. Services are planned for 2:30 p.m. Monday at First Assembly of God Chruch with Revs. W.C. Mangrum, Derwood Dubose, Steve Youngblood and Dr. Adonna Ottwell officiating. Burial will be in Rosemound Cemetery. Rev. Alexander was born July 14, 1932 in Emory, the son of Basil and Ethel Toles Alexander. He married Livinia Alexander in 1952. She preceded him in death on Sept. 15, 1990. During his lifetime, Rev. Alexander dedicated himself to being a preacher of the gospel and a pastor of the lonely, the hurting and the wounded, said Dr. Ottwell. "As pastor of First Assembly, he led the congregation in multiple building programs, culminating in the relocation and construction of a new sanctuary and educational facilities occupied in 1984," she added. Rev. Alexander's ministry also exteneded beyond the local community. For 16 years, he served as the district prebyter of the Greenville section of the North Texas District Council of the Assemblies of God, which oversees approximately 600 Assemblies of God churches. He was elected an honorary presbyter of the North Texas District upon his retirement as a district presbyter. Dr. Ottwell said Rev. Alexander, an Army veteran, was known as a powerful preacher and orator. "His messages were characterized as faithful words, truthful words, a message of grace and love. Many can attest that he showed them the heart of God. His compassion was demonstrated by his willingness to serve on the Hunt County Child Welfare Board," she noted. "Rev. Alexander exemplified the confession of the Apostle Paul in that he, too, fought a good fight, finished his course, and kept the faith," said his son, Danny Alexander. Rev. Alexander is survived by two sons, Danny of Waxahachie and his wife, Amy, and David Alexander of Mesquite and his wife, Linda; two grandchildren, Ryan Sasser of Emory, and Kristen Self of Savannah, Ga.; four great-grandchildren; three sisters, Mae Vera of Mesquite, Nell Nelson of Greenville, and Pat Pennington of Greenville; one brother, G.B. Alexander of Emory; a sister in law, Karen Porter of Balch Springs; and mother in law, Lonia Mae Livesy of Dallas. He was preceded in death by his parents, a brother and a sister. Visitation is 2-4 p.m. Sunday at Jones-Walker & Son Funeral Home.
