Wilfred Alexander Alert, Sr.

Wilfred Alert Sr. fell asleep in death on June 19, 2020, He was affectionately known as "Dad", "Alert”, "Willy”, “Fred", “Fafed" or "Uncle Wilfred”. He is remembered for his infectious laugh, charming smile, love for his siblings, homemade cheesecakes and countless skills. We will miss his stories, entertaining personality & personal experiences.
He was born on April 26, 1955 and grew up in Brighton Village, East Berbice-Corentyne, Guyana. He was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses on November 21, 1971 at the age of 16 and married his wife Lucille on August 29, 1981.
He was preceded in death by his beloved parents Oscar & Iris Alert, his father-in-law Reginald Babel and mother-in-law Sylvie Overman.
He was husband to Lucille Alert for almost 40 years. Father to Gracielle Alert-Smith & Wilfred Alert Jr.. Adoptive Father to Melissa Havran. Father-in-law to Marlon Smith, Katrina Alert, and Ryan Havran. Grandfather to Bryson Havran. He was brother of Clifton, Loretta, Agnes “Barbara", Carol, Loraine, Gail, the late Constance “Connie", the late Joseph, the late Lennox, and the late Mavis. Uncle to Andrew, Colette, Jomo, Mascine, Philip, Oneka, Loyis, Timothy, Joe’s Devon, Rukaiyah, Cliff’s Devon, Davina, Melinda, Fiona, Michaja, Naomi, Troy, Shondelle, Sherryann, Derek, and the late Andrea.
He is survived by countless cousins, great-nephews, great-nieces, in-laws, and many friends and associates.
We look forward to seeing him again when Jehovah, the God of all comfort, will resurrect our loved ones as promised at John 5:28, 29.

Dear Fred and Katrina & the whole Alert family. The memorial service was memorable and helped us get to know your dad better. I (Lydie) remember the amazing/delicious/beautiful cheese cakes & Jaime can't wait to try them in the paradise! Thank you for hosting. This undoubtedly is incredibly hard times and difficult to deal with. Death is such a wicked enemy and leaves us speechless and empty. But thanks to our loving God we understand why it is so and we know that we have an amazing hope to see 'Alert' again! This hope doesn't cancel the hurt we feel but in time might help. We are so sad for your loss. We would have love to be able to see you guys in person to give you a huge hug. We pray for you and your entire family in the meantime. Please receive our virtual hugs for now. We love you guys very much! xo
