July 11, 1965 – January 26, 2015

Bruce Charles Alexander was born on July 11, 1965 in Albany, Oregon and died January 26, 2015 from a pulmonary embolism at his home in Powell Butte. He was 49 years and 7 months old at the time of his passing. He was adopted as a baby by Tom and Carol Lee Alexander and was raised in Powell Butte. He became a member of the Powell Butte Christian Church at the time of his baptism on February 19, 1978.

He attended Powell Butte grade school, Prineville middle school and graduated from Crook County high school in the class of 1983. In the fall of 1983 he entered the Phoenix Institute of Technology and graduated at the top of his class in automotive engineering.

He returned to Central Oregon and worked for Prineville Napa Auto Parts for 5 years. He was a good carpenter and worked for Daren Curry Construction as they built numerous houses on the butte and elsewhere.

When the new Powell Butte Christian Church was constructed he became part of the building team.

For the last several years he worked on the family farm helping with the livestock, haying and repairing and maintaining the equipment.

He was multi-talented – whether it was woodworking, restoring antique cars, oil painting, working with livestock or photography. He enjoyed the beauty of nature as evidenced by his outstanding photos of land features, ocean beaches and many, many shots of beautiful sunsets!! He loved hunting, fishing, camping, flowers, dogs, children, collecting anything from yesteryear, riding snowmobiles with Daren and an occasional game of golf.

He is survived by his parents Tom and Carol Lee (Jones) Alexander, one sister, Linda Jo Alexander, nephews Thomas and Foster Doss, aunts, uncles and many cousins.

He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
