In the grand tapestry of human existence, Shaddy Allen Ahmad, who experienced only 41 summers on this grand earth, took his final journey on July 31, 2024, surrounded by loved ones.

Born on October 27, 1983, in the heart of Oklahoma City, Shaddy proudly carried the intertwined heritage of a Choctaw lineage from his mother, Evadith, and a Jordanian lineage from his father, Ahmad . Now, in the cosmic dance of life, Shaddy reunites in the spiritual realms with his father, Ahmad Ahmad, grandmother Edna Dawson, and uncle Gary Osborne.

Shaddy is remembered in love by his wife, Michaela, and their remarkable four sons: Steven of Wichita, KS; Xavier; Isaiah; and Liam from Oklahoma City, known as the Ahmad Squad.

Forever loved and cherished by his family, which includes his mother, Evadith Ahmad, and sister, Rhonda Coffman of Oklahoma city, OK. He is also held dear by extended family, including his in-laws Lori and Duane Dahlem of Crescent, OK, as well as siblings-in-law Chris Rogers, Nick Rogers, Louise Rogers, and Josh Dahlem, his aunts Evelyn Osborne and Nancy Reed, as well as his uncle Earl Reed. Shaddy's life is also commemorated by a many cousins, nieces, and nephews, creating a rich tapestry of family connections.

A lifelong sports fan, Shaddy found joy supporting the Atlanta Braves, OSU Cowboys, and the Oklahoma City Thunder. Shaddy spent his youth playing baseball at Putnam City Optimist Baseball club where he continued to feed his passion of baseball teaching and inspiring numerous young athletes through the years by coaching all 4 of his son's teams.

Shaddy truly knew how to inspire and teach young kids the game. But he had a way of always turning it into an inspiring lesson for life. He continued to use his passion to share his extensive knowledge of the game through umpiring.

To honor Shaddy's legacy, a Celebration of Life will take place at his happiest place, the PCO Little League Baseball Fields on Saturday, August 24, 2024, at 7 PM – a tribute to his enduring love for the game.

In his memory, the family kindly asks for donations to the PC Optimist Baseball League in lieu of flowers.
