Jeff Alexander, 57

Our beloved friend, Jeff Alexander, (Nupa Wiyaka Wanbil), followed the path from this earth to walk with his creator Nov. 16, 2010. He passed peacefully at his home after a long and brave battle against cancer. Jeff was born to his mother, Mable, at St. Luke s hospital in Cleveland, Ohio, April 13, 1953. Jeff was diversified in his careers. He worked as labor contractor, ski patrol, security consultant and many other jobs before and after a long and prevalent career in law enforcement. Jeff never tired of learning and continually sought educational opportunities. He loved to share bits of his vast amounts of knowledge with his friends. Jeff was a very energetic man that loved being in the outdoors. He was a wild animal lover and also enjoyed the company of his feline companions through the years. He was a very loyal friend, with a wicked and fun sense of humor. Jeff was a very empathetic listener, showing extensive compassion and heart. He was always willing to help his friends in any way he could. Jeff had sophisticated tastes and thoroughly enjoyed life. We will greatly miss going on rides and sharing his company. Jeff was as diverse in his interests as he was in his careers. He was very enthusiastic about the Old West, guns, different cultures, including the Native American cultures and beliefs, as well as his motorcycles and the accompanying lifestyle. Jeff was a good man and will be fondly rembered and greatly missed. Jeff considered his friends to be his family and he will never be forgotten. Jeff s last wish was to be cremated and he had left instructions on where his remains are to be scattered. Any donations will be accepted in his name and will be used to assist us in honoring his last wishes. Services will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 20, at Buffalo Hill Funeral Home. A reception will follow the service at 110 South Hilltop, in Columbia Falls. You are invited to go to www. buffalohillfh.com to leave messages or sign Jeff s book.
