James David Alexander "Moose"

James David Alexander “Moose” Pickens, South Carolina James David Alexander “Moose”, age 76, loving husband of the late Patricia Lee Ward Alexander, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Wednesday, July 16, 2025, at Greenville Memorial Hospital. Born on January 30, 1949, in Six Mile, South Carolina, David Alexander was the cherished son of the late Harold Isrol Alexander and Verna Mae Hayes Alexander. A man of quiet faith, David was of the Baptist tradition and carried his values through every aspect of his life. A devoted Clemson University sports fan, David could often be found cheering on the Tigers with enthusiasm. He had a deep love for the outdoors—whether it was working the land, fishing for “anything that would bite,” or simply enjoying God’s creation, he found joy in the simplicity and peace of nature. David was happiest when he was “piddling”—a term that, for him, meant tinkering, exploring, and finding little projects to keep his hands and heart busy. His grandchildren especially loved these moments, making special memories as they went “piddling with Papa.” He also enjoyed farming, where he found purpose and pride in tending the soil. David's life was full of the little things that made for a big legacy: faith, family, nature, and a heart always open to the ones he loved. Survivors include his son, J. Khol Alexander (Lisa) of Pickens; daughter, Ashlee A. Cummings (Lance) of Woodstock, AL; grandchildren, David Trent Alexander (Margaret), John Trevor Alexander, Kirk Tanner Alexander, and Kyndall Dianne Cummings; great-grandchildren, Emilee, Wyatt, and one on the way (Kenneth); sisters, Mildred Dow, and Joyce Alexander; brother, Mike Alexander (Lynda); and many loving nieces, nephews, friends, and family. In addition to his wife and parents, Mr. Alexander was predeceased by his brother, Harold “Don” Alexander. Visitation will be held on Sunday, July 20, 2025, from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM in the chapel of Mountain View Funeral Home in Pickens with a funeral service to follow at 2:30 PM. Burial will follow the service at Hillcrest Memorial Park in Pickens. Flowers will be accepted. The family will gather at Khol’s house following the service. Mountain View Funeral Home is serving the Alexander family.
