Alexander Hightower, Sr., , was born in Albany, Georgia on November 24, 1969.  He was the youngest child of the late Robert Lee Hightower and the late Willie Mae Davis Hightower.

He was educated in the Dougherty County School System, graduating from Albany High School in 1989.  Throughout school, he excelled while actively participating in various student organizations and activities.

At a very early age, Alexander accepted Christ as his personal savior  and united with Friendship Baptist Church where he served faithfully on the usher board.  In later years, he united with  Antioch Missionary Baptist Church under the leadership of the late Reverend Dr. George L. Daniels.  Over the years, he remained steadfast and unfaltering in service—always seeking to please God and help others.

Alexander was  full of love, wisdom, compassion, strength, and humor.  On August 7, 2009, he was united in marriage to Lisa Bradford Lovett.  Alexander was a devoted husband, a loving father, and a great provider for his family.  For several years, he worked untiringly at numerous warehouse facilities  to provide unconditionally for his family.  He was a loyal, dedicated employee who always gave his BEST.

A strong but gentle man with a heart of gold, Alexander's smile and kind words brought sunshine wherever he trod.  He was a friend you could count on and was always ready to lend a helping hand.  The friendships that he developed throughout his life will forever be cherished and remembered.  Alexander had a fondness for poetry, was passionate about reading his Bible, and  truly enjoyed weight lifting.

On April 8, 2021, Alexander transitioned from this earthly life to eternal rest and peace.  In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by two brothers-in-law, Matthew Leroy and Terry Bradford, Sr.; his father-in-law,    Roosevelt Bradford; uncle, Reverend George L. Daniels; and a nephew, Bobby D. Taylor.
