Alan Richard Hedderman Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Alan Richard Hedderman, 66, of Cary, passed away on August 8, 2019 in Raleigh, NC. Funeral services will be held at 10:30 am Monday, September 30, 2019 at St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church, 804 High House Rd, Cary, NC 27513. Family will begin greeting guests at 10 am. Arrangements are by Wake Funeral and Cremation Services. Al was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to Alma Davis and Nelson James Hedderman on March 31, 1953. He spent his career in sales, flourishing and building success because of his natural ability to quickly build rapport with others. At the time of his passing, Al worked for CEA Power, undoubtedly his favorite workplace. He built strong relationships with co-workers, and traveled around the US turning his customers into friends. Work travel often took him to Maryland, which afforded him weekends to spend with family. In his free time he enjoyed playing golf, whether for a charity cause or with his friends. It provided him with yet another opportunity to socialize and build relationships with others. Through the years, Al enjoyed sharing his love of basketball with others, especially by coaching several youth basketball teams. He built friendships with several of his former players who are now adults and visited him regularly in his final days. Al also loved football, specifically, the Dallas Cowboys. He could often be heard yelling at the TV and having ‘friendly’ debates about his beloved team. Al is preceded in death by his sister, Linda Hedderman-Ellenes, and his father, Nelson James Hedderman. Al is survived by his daughter, Amy Hedderman, his son, Bobby Hedderman; sister Donna McKalip (Wayne Lewis), brother-in-law Elwood Ellenes; his Mom Alma Davis; Grandson Braxton Cobbs; nephew Ryan McKalip (Layla Mckalip); Great niece and nephew Quinn and Connell McKalip; and his best friend, Bill Hollis. The family of Al Hedderman wishes to extend our sincere thanks to Wake Med Cary and Transitions LifeCare hospice for such kind and gentle care.
