Today we Remember and honor of Alexis Patterson.

The information below was provided to us by her mother.

Alexis Nichol Patterson, “Lexi” peacefully entered the presence of her Lord on Tuesday, December 10, 2024, at the age of 23. She was the beloved Mother to Jaxson and Braxton. They are the light of her life and always will be. Lexi was born in Conway, Arkansas, on March 27th, 2001, to Amberlie Dunham and Joshua Patterson. She graduated from Clinton High School in 2019.

In hopes to fulfill her childhood dream, she enlisted to serve our country on October 3, 2019, by joining the Army National Guard. Once sworn in, she completed her basic training and AIT at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri. She was part of the 795th MP Battalion First Platoon, 14th MP Brigade. Some of her favorite memories were mopping the floors until they smelled like bleach, her battle buddies, and surviving the gas chamber. After graduation she reported to Fort Chaffee Joint Maneuver Training Center, in Fort Chaffee, Arkansas. She started off as MP13 and later earned her title of MP6. Through her time serving in the military, she accomplished becoming “Police Officer of the Year” at Fort Chaffee, Arkansas, moving up in rank to Specialist, Judging at the Wilson Matches, and obtaining various well achieved awards.

Lexi began her law enforcement career in Johnson County, Arkansas at the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office in 2022 as a jailer, and in 2024, she accepted a road deputy position. She graduated from the Fort Smith Police Academy on June 14th, 2024. After graduation she earned the title of JC23, where she worked highway patrol.

One of the many things Lexi will always be remembered by is her love for her two sons, Jaxson and Braxton. Some of their favorite things to do were playing at the park, fishing, swimming, coloring, and going to McDonald’s for the boy’s favorite happy meals. During any free time, you could catch her drawing, painting, listening to music, gardening, spending time with family, and hanging out with her friends. She will always be remembered by her beautiful smile, strong-willed personality, and the ability to light up any room she walked in.
