Alex Sutherland Jr. went to be with the Lord on Friday, May 30, 2025, at Grafton County Nursing Home in North Haverhill, NH.

Alex was born on November 11, 1927, in New Canaan, Connecticut, where he grew up as the son of a gardener on a private estate. As a teenager, he began working at a local Ford garage before being drafted into the Army at age 18. He completed basic training in Alabama and served two years as a mechanic for the Army motor pool in Japan until his honorable discharge.

After his military service, Alex returned to New Canaan, Connecticut, and continued his work as a mechanic, first for Ford and then as a self-employed individual. He and his late wife, Isabelle (Raymond) Sutherland, purchased a vacation home on River Road in Bath, New Hampshire, and later moved there with their two sons. Alex worked for H.G. Woods Lumber in Bath, New Hampshire (now Britton Lumber), and continued farming into his 80s, raising and selling cattle, pigs, and eggs from as many as 300 chickens. When he wasn't farming, you would still find Alex enjoying the outdoors and down at Bear Ridge Speedway helping his son race.

Alex was one of three remaining World War Two veterans in his area. He was a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 5245 and a member of Calvary Baptist Church in Woodsville. In 2024, he was honored as the Parade Marshal for the Woodsville-Wells River Fourth of July Celebration.

He is predeceased by his wife, Isabelle (Raymond) Sutherland, and his son, Brett Sutherland

He is survived by his son, Alexander Sutherland III and wife Jean of Benton, NH; a grandchild, Kimberly "Kim" Chicoine and husband Jared of Gilmanton, NH; two great grandchildren, Leila & Mae Chicoine of Gilmanton, NH; a sister, Dorothy Stockmar and lots of loving nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to Grafton County Nursing Home, Maple Unit, for the exceptional care and compassion they provided to Alex throughout his stay.

A funeral service will be held on Saturday, June 14, 2025, at 11:00 AM at the Calvary Baptist Church in Woodsville, NH. There will be a private burial for the family at a later time.
