James “Jim” Wallace Alexander, 69, went home to be with the Lord in Heaven on May 25, 2020, after a long battle of medical conditions. He was surrounded at his bedside by his family in his home in Asheville.

He was preceded in death by his parents William Wallace Alexander & Ruth Harwood Alexander. He is survived by his daughters Angel Cahill (husband John) and Tequila Rice (husband Brian), brother, Mike Alexander; and sister, Linda Israel (husband Mike).

Jim was an avid carpenter and spent 20 plus years working at Bussman Fuse in Black Mountain. He was a second father to many and helped anyone in time of need, even if he gave his last. A very special thanks to all his friends he made through the years as well as those family members who he counted on through the years including but not limited to Clint, Ashley, Travis & Chris.

Jim will lie in rest at Groce Funeral Home, Sunday, May 31, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The graveside funeral service will be led by Rev. Donati on Monday June 1, at 2:00 p.m. at Maney Branch Cemetery.

  4. Uncle Jim was a blessing to many! He would be the first to help anyone in need no matter who they were. He has taught us so much, given heartfelt advice, listened without judgment, believed in us and loved us all unconditionally. He’s fought a long battle with cancer and other medical conditions, but you would have never known it. He would continue to smile and be a light to others. I am beyond thankful for the time we had together and look forward to an eternity of laughter and joy.

He was the best man Iv ever seen he loved me like his own and I really enjoyed all the phone calls when he would answer “hello darlin” Jim you will be dearly missed and will forever hold that special place in my heart we love you beyond words and can’t wait to see you again.

  6. So sorry for your loss! Jimmy was a childhood friend and playmate. We lived on the same street! He was the sweetest boy and I’m sure he will be missed. Jan Calloway Elingburg

  8. Linda, Mike, Angel and Kela you are in our prayers. If there is anything we can do we are only a phone call away. Let us all rejoice knowing that he is in the hands of the Lord with no more pain or sickness.
