Alexander R. Jenkins, 24, passed away Tuesday, October 6, 2015 at home.

Born in Warwick, RI, he was the son of Raleigh M. and Mary-Ellen (Sample) Jenkins. He was educated in the Warwick School System and was voted Friendliest Student by his classmates his senior year. Alex was born with a kind heart and gentle spirit which often conflicted greatly with today’s world as he viewed it. He enjoyed baseball and excelled as a pitcher in Warwick Little League. He and his family enjoyed many happy times on Cape Cod and he loved both family dogs, Gracie and Henry. He would agree that the greatest blessing bestowed upon him was his daughter Finleigh whom he loved to the moon and back.

In addition to his parents, he is survived by sisters, Crystal T. Jenkins of Austin, Texas, Lauren E. Jenkins, her boyfriend Zachary Ilarraza and their son, his nephew Lucas Sawyer, Taylor M. Jenkins and her boyfriend Jordan Smith, and his girlfriend and mother of his child, Morgan Johnson all of Warwick; and his grandparents, Charles and Barbara Sample of Warwick; and the late Raleigh M. and Margaret M. Jenkins. Alex also had great love for and was loved by his many cousins, Aunts and Uncles.
