Larry Alexander

There is a time for everything under the heavens—a time to be born: and it was so that Larry "Zeke" Alexander was born on June 13, 1951, to the late John and Nettie Alexander in Mecklenburg County—and a time to die: he finished his course on Tuesday, December 1, 2020. At an early age he joined Rockwell A.M.E. Zion Church. Larry attended North Mecklenburg High School, where he graduated. He served 8 years in the United States Military.
