Wayne Michael Joseph Alexander

Wayne Michael Joseph Alexander (Doodle), age 55, of Knoxville, passed away peacefully in his home in the early hours of November 12th, 2025, with his family by his side after a strong and heartbreaking battle with cancer.

Wayne held a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and Business Science, an Operations Management certificate, and was pursuing his Master’s degree.

Wayne was a dedicated working man, starting at Rockline Industries in the United Kingdom, this led to his journey that brought his family to the United States in 2005. Starting in Wisconsin, with Rockline Industries he began as a Lean Manufacturing and High-Performance Team facilitator and through hard work he grew into his many roles. He became the Process Support Manager and Director of Manufacturing at Patterson Medical, before ultimately serving as General Manager of Iatric, a Rockline sister company located in Morristown Tennessee. Along the way, Wayne formed lifelong friendships and touched many hearts through his work, not only at Rockline Industries, but also at Johnsonville and Patterson Medical.

Wayne lived life with a full and generous heart. He found joy on the golf course, as well as peace by the water, with a fishing pole in hand up north with friends, and excitement in every soccer match, especially his hometown team Walsall FC in England. Wayne flew back to England, just for the weekend, to see his team play at Wembley Stadium. Wayne loved to dance, and it didn’t matter where he was, he always had his dancing shoes on. However, the greatest love was always his family. He poured every bit of his strength, patience, and humor (dad jokes specifically) into the people he loved.

He is survived by his wife, Rosie Alexander; his sons, Correy Alexander and Harrison Alexander, who carry forward his spirit, strength and dad jokes; his mother, Patricia Alexander; and his siblings, Samantha, Scott, Simon, Jamie, and Drew Alexander; Father in law, Frank Brooks, and many Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Nieces and Nephews.

Wayne’s life was a testament to courage, love, and the countless ways one man’s heart can make the world brighter for everyone lucky enough to know him.

Wayne will be brought home to the United Kingdom, and be laid to rest at Dudley Cemetery in England.

In lieu of flowers, the family is asking to donate to a charity of choice. Condolences can be made at www.mynattfh.com.
