Mr. Karl Alderman, Sr.
Mr. Karl Alderman, Sr. was born June 11, 1956, in Lowndes County, Georgia, to the late Kado Alderman, Jr. and Pauline Alderman. Karl received his education in the Lowndes County School System and was a proud member of
the Lowndes County Vikings graduating Class of 1976.
Karl was an dedicated husband, father, grandfather and friend. He was a loving and strong willed man. He stood
by the decisions he made—always firm but fair. He was a hard working disciplined man whose employment career
included 35years of faithful service at Fields Custom Cabinets, where he later retired. Karl was a man of many
talents. In addition to spending time with his family, he filled his days of retirement with fishing and of course
supporting his favorite football teams: The Lowndes High Vikings and the Georgia Bulldogs.
He lived a life that demonstrated the teachings of Christ. He was a man of love, integrity, courage and conviction.
He was a faithful member of Newsome Street Church of Christ where his huge smile will be greatly missed.
