Alec

Surratt

James Alec Surratt (Alec), loving husband and faithful servant of God, died peacefully in his sleep on August 17, 2025, at the age of 79.

Born to parents Cebron and Vivian Surratt in Baldwyn, Mississippi on Dec 9, 1945, Alec was the oldest of three brothers. Much of his youth was spent outdoors. This is where he cultivated both a knowledge and love of nature. Alec started studying foreign languages while in high school and junior college, where he developed an aptitude and appreciation for Spanish.

Alec graduated from Ambassador College in Big Sandy, Texas in May 1969 and married the love of his life, Donna Conley, on July 14, 1969. Alec was a longtime member of the United Church of God.

The opportunity to start working for his church's Spanish Department presented itself while he was still in college. That experience led to a 47-year career in International Correspondence for the work of God.

One of Alec and Donna's favorite activities was travel. They have enjoyed seeing much of the United States as well as multiple countries in pursuit of this interest. Many trips included nature hikes where Alec would get to connect his love for nature with his love for travel.

Alec is survived by his wife Donna and brother Bobby Joe Surratt of Baldwyn, Mississippi. He is preceded in death by his parents; Cebron and Vivian Surratt; and his brother William Thomas (Tommy) Surratt. He will be remembered as a kind, generous, family man that supported his church's international work, especially in the Latin American countries.

Memorial Services will be held on August 29, 2025 at 10:30 am at OneLife Community Church, 807 Austin St., Wichita Falls, TX.
