Jimmy Alderman spent 35 years filling the lives of his loved ones with laughter, smiles, and great happiness. Born to James Earl Alderman, Jr. and Carol Jean Alderman, née Kahler, he was the pride and joy of his Mom and Dad, always keeping them on their toes. Early in life, Jimmy wanted to be Superman and he paraded around in a cape imitating his hero; he carried the same adoration of the Man of Steel into his adult life and was frequently looking for ways to help his friends and family. In 2005, Jimmy met the love of his life, Cassie Rayman, and she completed him in so many ways. They picked on one another, made each other laugh, lifted each other up, and kept one another grounded. Together, they doted on their beloved English Bulldog, Reuben, and enjoyed spending time together in and around their home in Locust Point, Baltimore. Jimmy spent the latter days of his life using his gifts and pursuing his passion of high-end stereo equipment with his friends at Just Audio.

Jimmy was preceded in death by his Grandfathers, Ernest Elwood Kahler (Ernie), James Earl Alderman (Earl), and his Dad, James Earl Alderman, Jr. (Jim). He is survived by his loving Mom, Carol, as well as by his Grandmothers, Vernada (Jo) Alderman, née Edwards, and Frieda Kahler, née Kerstetter. His surviving siblings, Sheri & Jeff Mendon and Krissy & Matt Hanneken, will miss Jimmy's daredevil antics and mischievous pranks but most of all his love and company. Uncle Jimmy ("Underwear Gummybear") will always be adored and fondly remembered by his nieces and nephews, Tyler, Carter & Ella Hanneken, Alex & Riley Nichols, and Sydney & Will Sohan.
