Alison Duray Lordeman, affectionately known to some as "Ali" or as her father called her "lil petey", passed away unexpectedly at the age of 29 on Saturday, August 29th in Phoenix, AZ.

She was born in Olympia, Washington, but became a child of travel and rebirth in many places including lowa, Minnesota, and Colorado. Ultimately finding home in Tucson, Arizona, leaving a trail of laughter, bright color, and unforgettable memories in every place she lived.

Alison poured her creativity and love for making others feel as beautiful as she saw them in her work as an esthetician. She was effortlessly cool, entirely unashamed of being her authentic self, and walked through the world as a living piece of art-adorned with beautiful tattoos and an ever-changing canvas of brightly colored hair. If Alison was in the room, you knew it. She was the ultimate life of the party and a natural caretaker. She possessed a legendary, infectious laugh, and a loud passion for life.

She had an incredible taste in music, and deep appreciation for live shows & festivals, with a deep love for Odesza. She enjoyed hiking in nature and spending quality time with her people. She was a massive WWE fan. YEET! Never missing Monday Night Raw with her fiancé, the love of her life, Havel Respes, whom she was joyfully engaged to this past June. 

Family and her tight-knit circle meant the world to her. As the youngest of six children, born to Karen and Michael Lordeman, she held a uniquely cherished place in her big family as "The Baby" and was protected and kept as such by her siblings: Aaron, Justin, Jay, Karrah, and Danielle. As the youngest child, spoiled with love, she knew how to spoil her own fur-babies Khiva and Joji. She was extremely proud to be the "Favorite Aunty" to her beloved nieces and nephews: Leo, Mia, Samuel, and Eleanor. Beyond her immediate and extended family Alison also leaves behind a Tucson family of dearest friends and coworkers.

Alison taught everyone around her what it meant to live life authentically unapologetic. To laugh until it hurts. And to love fiercely. Her spark cannot be replaced, and she will be missed beyond measure by everyone who was lucky enough to be part of her world.
