The Tehachapi News 
Alexander Darson

July 25, 1920 – Sept. 5, 2004

Alexander Darson, 84, of Tehachapi passed away on Sept. 5. He was born on July 
25, 1920 in Trenton, N.J. 

After earning a PhD from Ohio State University, Alexander entered the United 
State Marine Corps where he was wounded in action in the battle of Guadalcanal 
and was awarded the Purple Heart. He did films training for the military while 
recuperating. 

Alexander found a love for the theatre and became the first actor to play the 
role of Zorro. He was in several commercials thereafter. Being quite versatile 
and always having a thirst for knowledge, he earned another doctorate degree 
in chiropractics. Having property in Tehachapi and a love of fresh, clean air, 
he moved here permanently in 1986.

Alexander was a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Screen Actors 
Guild. He left a wealth of knowledge and a love of nature to his family and 
friends. As he related his life and memories to nurses Pam and Mary of 
Tehachapi Hospital, he stated that he had a full and happy life and lived it 
exactly as he wanted and was ready for the next journey. He died with dignity 
as he had lived it.

Alexander is survived by sons, Scott Darson of Tehachapi and Greggory Darson 
of Northern California; brother and sister-in-law, George and Juanita Peto; 
niece, Nancy Peto; and nephew, Georgie Peto, all of Columbus, Ohio; and niece, 
Sandy Kelly of Burbank.

Private services will be held in Northern California. Wood Family Funeral 
Service handled the cremation arrangements.
