Michael Shawn Alderman passed away on Monday, August 13, 2018 at the age of 53.
The son of Bill A. and Jenan England Alderman was born August 7th, 1965 in Tulsa, Oklahoma.  He began his education in the Wichita school system.  His father was later transferred to Tulsa.  There he would attend Mayo Elementary School and Skelly Junior High, playing baseball at both schools. He later attended Union High School.  While at Union, Michael enjoyed playing basketball.  After graduating in 1983, Michael enrolled in college at NEO A&M in Miami.  Eventually he transferred to Tulsa Junior College and then finished his degree at the University of Oklahoma Health Science Center. He was a member of Phi Delta Chi, a professional pharmacy fraternity, while attending pharmacy school. It was during his years in Oklahoma City that he met Lori Hampton.  They would marry on September 15, 1990 at the First Christian Church of Broken Arrow.  The couple made their home in Tulsa, where Michael had taken a job working for St. Francis Hospital.  A short time later Michael and his family moved to Owasso.  He would work  for Drug Warehouse in Tulsa  and later for Wal-Mart in Owasso.  He was currently performing contract work for RPhS Inc, a pharmacy relief services company.
Over the years Michael made an impact on many people.  Many of his younger co-workers looked to him for guidance.   He was known to give advice on everything from cars to education and finances.
In his spare time Michael had many hobbies and past times.  He loved grilling outside, and  watching sports, especially the Oklahoma Sooners.  He enjoyed classic cars and TV shows about cars.  Traveling was another of his favorites; Hawaii was one of his top destinations.  However, his family was his true passion.  His love for them was evident in everything he did.
He is preceded in death by his father, Bill A. Alderman.
Survivors include his wife Lori Alderman; daughter, Hannah Alderman; mother, Jenan Alderman; brother, Bill A. Alderman Jr.; nephew, Kameron and niece Jessica, along with numerous other extended family.
