Obituary For Lyle Kamillio Alexander

Obituary Lyle Kamillio Alexander was born in Brooklyn, New York to Francis Charles Alexander, Sr. (deceased) and Eunice Emmalina Hernandez Alexander on March 16, 1971. Lyle was the third of four children born of this union. The Alexander family moved to Lakeland, Florida, when he was still a toddler. Growing up in an Adventist home Lyle, his two older brothers and younger sister all participated in the activities of the church. He was baptized at an early age and enjoyed membership in various Pathfinder clubs, sang in choirs, enjoyed acting in plays and dramatic presentations, and was known for turning something serious into a joke to lighten the mood…or just because. Lyle was a very kind, jovial, talented, and handsome young man, with an infectious laugh and personality, which made him so easy to befriend and love. Prior to graduating from Kathleen Senior High in 1989, Lyle attended Lakeland Adventist Junior Academy and Miami Union Academy, where he developed strong and lasting friendships who will forever remain an extension of his family. Ecclesiastes 9:10 says, “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might…” Lyle knew he was gifted to work with his hands so, embracing his God-given talents, he pursued several educational areas of interest. Following in his father’s profession, Lyle earned his diploma in Dental Laboratory Technology (1998) and became a Certified Dental Technician, earning multiple certifications in several technical areas. While exploring different fields of interest and ways to improve himself, Lyle also earned certifications as a Home Health Aide (2000), Certified Nursing Assistant (2001), and a diploma in Automotive Technology (2008), which allowed him to become a Certified Auto Mechanic. In addition to his technical and trade related work, he was a very talented artist and a great cook. Lyle was very creative and always sought to learn new things and challenge himself. Nothing was off limits to him and when he set his mind on a goal he achieved it with excellence. Lyle was very dedicated to his profession and was known for providing high qual-ity products and excellent customer service. His dedication to hard work and being a support to his family and friends is unrivaled. Lyle also loved cars and motorcy-cles, so he was no stranger to the road. He did not hesitate to drive for several hours or take a day’s trip to assist family and friends with moving, fixing their vehicle, home or lawn, or in any capacity needed. He was very loving and gave so much of himself with his time, money, energy, and heart. As a son, brother, nephew, uncle, cousin and friend, Lyle was a confidant, best friend, protector, wingman, jokester, emotional support, advocate, sounding board, coworker, shoulder to lean on, investor, driver, guide, shining light, and so much more. Lyle lived his life with passion and invited all who were willing to join him. On January 31, 2019, Lyle was called from this life on earth by his Heavenly Father. Though this loss is sudden, tragic and painful, God promises peace. Lyle will be dearly missed for his warm smile, encompassing hugs, infectious laugh, giving heart, genuine friendship, and pure spirit. Until they meet again, he will live on in the hearts of his mother Eunice; siblings, Francis, Jr. (Kathy-Ann), Joseph (Ellie), and Emmalina (aka Lina); nieces and nephews, Zyria, Caresse, Felisse, Matthew, Jared, Francesca, Jaylene, and Lillian; uncles, aunts, cousins and beloved friends, all of whom miss him dearly.
