Alexis

Sotomayor

Alexis "Alex" Sotomayor, 59, of Blanchard, passed away at home on March 7, 2021, after a nearly six month post-stroke battle. Born August 5, 1961, in New York City, he spent much of his early life moving around the east coast and attended boarding school in Waterbury Connecticut. Later on, he achieved the rank of Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps, and went on to earn a Bachelor's Degree in Aviation Management from Southern Illinois University. His 20+ year long career included work as an airport technician, an engineer with McDonnell Douglas and an instructor/project-management professional at the Federal Aviation Administration Academy. He also received a Master's Degree in Business Administration from Oklahoma State University in 2009. Those close to him will miss his humor, smile, and wisdom.

Alex is survived by his wife of 37 years, Janine; daughters, Elizabeth and Desiree; parents, Tomas and Marta; sisters, Elaine and Darlene; nieces, Andrea, Ariana and Khloe; and nephew, Demari.

A private family memorial service will be held at a later date.  Cremation arrangements are under the direction of Eisenhour Funeral Home of Blanchard.  Online obituary and guestbook are available at www.eisenhourfh.com.
