Danny "Marty" Alexander

Danny Martin Alexander, affectionately known to family and friends as Marty, passed away peacefully on June 15, 2026, in Meadville, Pennsylvania, at the age of 69.

Marty was born on November 28, 1956, in Tampa, Florida, to Margaret Jean “Jeanne” Campbell and John Alexander. Throughout his life, he was known for his adventurous spirit, unwavering love for his family, and the countless memories he created with those who knew him.

A proud United States Marine, Marty served his country with honor and carried that sense of strength and dedication throughout his life. Marty found joy in the simple things. He loved riding his Harley-Davidson motorcycle, spending time fishing with his grandson, gathering with family while camping, visiting one of his favorite local spots, the Deer Head, and attending the Animal Jam, where he enjoyed the atmosphere and time spent with friends. He appreciated the outdoors, good company, and making memories with those he cared about.

He leaves behind his five children: Davide Alexander and his significant other, Vanessa Vice; Joseph Alexander; Thomas Alexander; Kimberly Alexander and Veralynn Alexander and her significant other, Scott Donnelly.

He was also a Papa of ten grandchildren: Kaylynn Alexander, Ethan Alexander, Cameron Jr. Mills, Justyn Dyer, Romeo Washington, Silas Washington, Liliana Donnelly, Ophelia Donnelly, Luciano Donnelly, and Aleesia Donnelly. His grandchildren brought him tremendous pride and many cherished memories.

Marty is survived by his half brothers, Bobby Alexander of Florida, and Mark Alexander of California and his step brothers Donnie Howles, Greg Howles and Dale Howles all of Pennsylvania. He is also survived by his nieces and nephews, Laurie Kiger, Wallace Shaw, Crystal Weinrauch, Chon Kibler, Charles Alexander, and Tina Davis, along with many great-nieces, great-nephews, his ex-wife Sherry Alexander and friends who will always remember him with love and respect.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Margaret Jean “Jeanne” Campbell and John Alexander, and by his siblings, Debra Lee Langley and Gary Allan “Bean” Alexander.

Marty will be remembered for his adventurous spirit, his love of the open road, his love for sweets and the memories he created with those fortunate enough to know him. Whether he was on his Harley, walking around the Diamond with a Cherry Coke in hand, sitting by the water chilling, camping with family, or enjoying time at the Deer Head, he embraced life in his own way.

Though he is no longer with us, his spirit lives on in every open highway, every quiet morning on the water, every campfire shared with loved ones, and in the hearts of all who knew and loved him. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

Gravesite service will be held July 11th, 2026 at Cochranton Cemetery at 1 pm, luncheon will follow.

“May the roads of Heaven be endless, the skies forever clear, and your spirit forever free. Ride on, Marine. Semper Fi.”
