Allan Joel Alexander, of Atlanta, Ga passed away at the age 39, on May 8, 2026. He was born on August 29,1986 to Ms. Barbara Alexander and the late Mr. Perez Fernando Rankin.

Allan was outgoing, full of life, and naturally funny, he had a way of bringing people together and making everyone feel like they belonged. His silly sense of humor and big personality turned everyday moments into something special, and being around him always meant laughter wasn’t far behind.

A proud native of Atlanta, he carried his hometown in his heart wherever he went. He often spoke with pride about where he came from, and that pride showed in his spirit, his style, and the way he connected with others. A devoted fan of Batman, he took great pride in his love for the iconic character. Whether it was wearing his favorite Batman gear or surrounding himself with items that reflected his passion, it was a meaningful part of who he was.

Above all, he deeply loved his family. They meant everything to him, and he showed it through his presence, his laughter, and the joy he brought into their lives. He had unconditional love for his daughter Iliana who he affectionately called Peanut Head. He shared an especially close and meaningful bond with his grandmother Verma. He had special relationship with his Aunt Leslie and loving nick-name for his aunt Kerry aka CareBear. He shared a special bond with Justin, Jarvis, Dreece and Dria who were brought up as siblings. Their connection was filled with love, loyalty, and countless memories.

He will be remembered for his laughter, his warmth, and the happiness he shared so freely. His legacy lives on in the smiles he created, the love he gave, and the many lives he touched just by being himself.

In addition to his father, he is preceded in death by his grandfathers, Joel N. Alexander Jr. and Timothy Leon Bailey.
