Alex Dakota Sutherland 26, entered this life on August 29, 1992 and went on to be with the King, Saturday, January 26, 2019.  Alex, formerly of the Buckhead community, resided in Collegeville, PA.

Alex was a 2012 graduate of Southeastern Early College where he earned an associate degree in college transfer.  He then went on to Bacone University in Oklahoma where he obtained a degree in  Applied Science. He continued his educational journey at Palmetto School where he received his license as a Dental Assistant.  Alex was a member of New Hope Baptist Church.  He also was a part of  the Waccamaw Siouan Drum Circle as well as the North Carolina Native American Youth Organization.  Alex was a devoted volunteer at the annual Waccamaw Siouan Powow.  He was a recipient of the United Tribes of North Carolina J.L.
