Jim Anderson Obituary

Jim Anderson, age 74 of Sauk Centre, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family and friends on Saturday, October 7, 2023 at his home.

Visitation will be Friday, October 27 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at St. Paul's Church in Sauk Centre, followed by a memorial mass with Father Brady Keller officiating.

Jim was born February, 13, 1949 in Alexandria, Minnesota to Gus and Irma Anderson. On September 26, 1969, he was united in marriage to Barbara Jacobson.

Jim worked as a florist for Anderson Florist until he got his real estate license. He eventually got his broker's license and started his own company, Century 21.

Jim loved having a few beers with friends while watching football, baseball, hockey and of course The Price is Right. His garage door was always open, and his refrigerator was always full. He loved being surrounded by family and friends.

Survivors include his wife Barb Anderson of Sauk Centre, daughters Bobbie Jo (John) Sogge of Prior Lake, son James Anderson of Sauk Centre; brothers Chuck Anderson, John Anderson and sister Cheryl Keller; sister-in-law Jean Anderson; grandchildren Ian, Dylan and Brittany; three great grandchildren Cameron, Ashby Jo and River Grace.

Jim was preceded in death by his parents; brothers Bill and Bob; and sister Janet.
