Michael Alderson Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 7, 2021.
Celebration of Life for Mike Alderson Date: Sunday, September 26, 2021 Time: 1–4pm Location: Bella Collina Golf Club, 200 Av. La Pata, San Clemente, CA 92673 For those who are unable to attend in person, the Celebration of Life will be available on Zoom (link will be provided closer to the event date). The following is a moving eulogy that was written about Mike: Mike Alderson went to heaven on Saturday, August 7, 2021. Mike spent his life devoted to his mother Bette Alderson and his five children. Then eight years ago, he met the love of his life, Sherry. Together they built a new life full of love and happiness that now includes 6 children, 18 grandchildren, and 6 great grandchildren. Together they spent the last few years of Mike's life traveling across the country spending time with them all. Mike was known best for his love for family, love of music, fishing, racquetball, his friends and neighbors, and most of all, his love for life. Mike lived life to the fullest! We are all saddened by the absence of Mike, but know he will be remembered, never forgotten, and loved forever! Thank you

Words can not convey the deep sorrow we felt when hearing of Mike's death. The tragic way his life ended only compunded the grief we had in our hearts. The world lost a shining light and a beautiful soul with his passing. May he rest peacefully in heaven. Jim and Jill Alderson

He was my best friend from age 9 till college age when I left for east coast I got back in touch with him a year ago. This is so wrong. We had a blast as kids. Played on the same little league time ( ed would drive us to practice. We would pack the back of the truck. I lived with the Alderson’s for a year mike and I shared a room. He always let me put on my music. When we were young we made a tape with my brother. The Ricky baker funny show. I’m so sorry Betty he loved you so much. And I’m real sorry for his children and grandchildren. I’m also sorry for you Cindy steferi. I love the entire alderson family. I love you mike You did good
