Mack had a strong bond and love for his family and friends. Everyone was a friend to Mack; he never met a stranger. He brought lots of joy into the lives of other’s and helped many before helping himself. He loved to laugh, tell jokes to make other’s laugh, and just “cut up” as he used to say. Three of his favorite subjects were sports, politics and drivers who cut in front of him; for whom he had a few choice words. Mack enjoyed traveling, going to the movies, and spending time with his family and friends.

On the early morning of July 4, 2021, Mack transitioned to his Heavenly Home. Mack is preceded in death by his father, mother, brothers Martin Alexander and John L.
