We regret to advise of the death of Firefighter Master Warrant Officer Jack Alexander, CD (Ret'd), peacefully at the age of 81, on 8 November 2024 after a brief illness.
Born in Stratford ON, Jack served 26 years as a Firefighter with the Canadian Military Engineers across Canada and in Europe. Jack's career postings included Royal Canadian Air Force Station Borden ON, RCAF Station Val-d'Or QC, CFB Summerside PE, Canadian Forces Station Dana SK, Firefighting Training Company at the Fire School at CFB Borden ON, CFB Shearwater NS and CFB Baden Germany. Jack retired from the Canadian Forces in 1988 as Deputy Fire Marshall for Training Systems Headquarters at Canadian Forces Base Trenton ON. Following his military service, he worked as a Fire Prevention Officer and in Property Management at the University of Toronto.
Jack retired early in 2003 to fulfill a lifelong dream of living "in the country." For the last 20 years, he enjoyed living on his rural property in Frontenac County, ON pursuing his hobbies, including woodworking, photography, tending to his many vegetable gardens and producing maple syrup.
Jack will be cremated, and a celebration of his life will occur on Saturday, 23 November 2024. In lieu of flowers, donations in Jack's memory can be made to the National Air Force Museum of Canada in Trenton ON or the Lennox & Addington County General Hospital Foundation in Napanee. Online condolences can be sent to the funeral home.
