Michael Anderson Obituary
Michael John Anderson passed away on Oct. 18. He was 47.
Michael was born on Oct. 19, 1962, to John R. and Darlene K. Anderson in Two Harbors, Minn. He was their third child.
He resided in Suisun City, Calif., and worked for Solano County as an employment resource specialist III, where he just received his 10-year pin. He also worked at GTE Mobilnet and Lawrence Berkeley Labs prior to his employment with Solano County.
He will be greatly missed by everyone who he came in contact with. He had a way of making everyone smile and laugh with his jokes and sense of humor, and more than that his generosity toward others.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Darlene K. Anderson.
Survivors include his father, John R. Anderson of Silver Bay, Minn.; sister, Donna Goutermont and brother-in-law Galen of Juneau, Alaska; brother, Scott Anderson of Silver Bay, Minn.; along with nieces, Kristine Collins, Brandi Anderson and nephew Pete Anderson; and many loving friends and family members.
Our lives will not be the same without you.
There will be a Celebration of Life and potluck at 500 Kinglet Court, Suisun City, Calif., on Friday, Oct. 22, at 5 p.m. Please come and share your pictures and favorite stories of Michael.

Mike, it has been years since I'v had any contact with you, but I do remember how you helped out with my children Mike and Jerry when we lived in MN. Donna and family, I am so very sorry for your loss, it is hard to understand, and will take time to put in the back of your heart, but Mike will always be there just as your Mom. Remember your Mom and Mike are together watching over you all here on earth. I remember your story about the shopping cart Donna, maybe Mike will send you a message also that he is in a good place now and at peace. God bless you all. Love you

Michael will always hold a very special place in the hearts of those that he worked with. Obviously this world was not big enough for a personality such as his....I can still hear him singing (Cher) "Do you believe in life after love?" You will be missed Michael. There will never be another like you. Never the black sheep...always pink.
