The FAIA community is deeply saddened by the passing of Dan Alexander. Dan was a valued friend, colleague, and leader whose loss is felt by so many across our association and Florida’s independent insurance community.

Dan was a past chair of FAIA and, at the time of his passing, was serving on FAIA’s Board of Directors as our National Director, representing Florida’s independent agents at the national level. Throughout his many years of service to the industry and our association, he gave generously of his time, experience, and leadership, and we are deeply grateful for all he contributed.

Our hearts are with Dan’s family, his colleagues and friends at the ThompsonBaker Agency, and all those who knew and loved him. He will be greatly missed.

The ThompsonBaker Agency family is deeply saddened by the passing of our cherished friend and colleague, Dan Alexander. For almost 36 years, Dan was a vital part of our team, serving our valued clients and co-workers with professionalism, integrity, and humor. As our Vice President, Dan was an important leader within our agency and played an integral role in shaping the ThompsonBaker Agency we know today. He was also a highly active and productive member of St. Augustine’s civic community, as well as Florida’s independent insurance community. Most importantly, Dan was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather, and a wonderful friend to so many. It was an honor and privilege to work alongside Dan, and his presence, leadership, and friendship will be deeply missed. Our hearts and deepest condolences are with Dan’s wife, children, grandchildren, and entire family during this difficult time. We are grateful for the many years we were fortunate enough to call Dan part of the ThompsonBaker family, and we will always cherish his memory.

With the Swiss Re E&O program available through FAIA Member Services, defense costs are outside the limits of liability—helping preserve your policy limits for what they were intended to cover. Your agency’s E&O coverage shouldn’t just check a box. Know what’s behind it. Learn more: https://ow.ly/WufI50ZG7br
