Charles McAlexander Obituary
This was the beginning of a remarkable lifetime partnership, as he traveled with her from base to base, as he prepared for war, and after his return from Europe, he worked beside her building businesses, growing their family, strengthening churches, sustaining deep friendships, caring for others and finding joy in every circumstance. Bonnie and Charles moved to Security, Colorado in 1956 where he started his accounting practice. He continued working as an accountant until his retirement.
Charles was active in the community in many ways, whether it was serving as an elder at his church or cheering on the local high school teams. He was a person of abiding faith and trusted Jesus to carry him through every adversity.
Charles was preceded in death by his parents, his wife Bonnie McAlexander, and his brother Harold Lee McAlexander.
Charles is survived by his children Claudia (Bill) Newth of Holyoke, Colorado, Bruce McAlexander of Colorado Springs, Colorado, Charla (Eric) Bogren of Colorado Springs, Colorado. He is also survived by grandchildren: Tammy Gillis, Renee Cinkosky, Lance Phair, Crystal Lopez, Melissa Thomson, and Charles McAlexander; and by great-grandchildren: Nicles Long, Taylor Phair, Ashlyn Phair, Katelin Lopez, Christopher Lopez, Haylea Lopez, Scarlett Enriquez, Ty Thomson and Jake Thomson. Also, by Trish Reishus, who cared for him in these last years. He leaves behind a host of friends and will be deeply missed.
A memorial service is planned for Monday, March 14, at 1:00 at Pikes Peak Christian Church, 4955 Bradley Road, Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Please accept our sincere sympathy in the loss of your Father. He and your Mother are once again together, as was meant to be. I have always found comfort in Ecclesiastes 3:1-8. In memory of your Dad, we are making a donation to the Honor Flight for WWII Veterans.

Claudia, Bruce and Charla,
You and your families are in our thoughts and prayers today. Uncle Charles was a generous, loving, happy-natured, hard working, and loyal man.It was always clear to us that, for him, the sun rose and set in Aunt Bonnie, each of you and all his grand- and great-grand children. He was always so good to K.C. and me, and our families, when we visited, and in the last few years when we would talk by phone, his upbeat, happy voice always brought cheer. We will be thinking of you this afternoon and in the days to come, hoping you can take comfort knowing that your Dad enjoyed a long life very well lived surrounded throughout by those he loved.. --Dan, Celeste, Anne and Alice
