Brian Anderson Obituary

Brian John Anderson
June 6, 1961 - August 1, 2015
After 12 years of countless miracles, Brian John Anderson passed away from leiomyosarcoma on Aug. 1, 2015. Brian was born to Clyde and Geneil Anderson in Logan, Utah, on June 6, 1961. He was the fifth of their six children. He grew up in Logan, graduating from Logan High School in 1979. Brian worked for the family business, Anderson Seed and Garden, through his growing-up years and after his mission for another 12 years. He served an LDS mission in the Chile Santiago North Mission. He married his best friend and sweetheart, Kathy Anderson, in the Logan LDS Temple on March 30, 1984. They are the parents of five wonderful children and five grandchildren (with two more on the way). He loved spending time with his family, watching mysteries, old movies, and he loved to laugh. His dry, witty, "drive-by" humor will be sorely missed.
Brian had an insatiable desire to learn and a photographic memory. He loved fixing things, building things, and working with computers. In 1997 he made a career change. He moved his family from Logan to Pleasant Grove, Utah, and began working in the computer industry, which he loved. His final job was his favorite. He was the senior software quality engineer lead for mormon.org. He found great joy in using his talents to help the kingdom. He also served in many church callings through the years including stake missionary, ward and stake clerks, Elder's Quorum counselor, High Priest group leader, and he was blessed to be bishop of the Pleasant Grove Garden 2nd Ward. He truly loved these people.
Brian is survived by his wife Kathy; children Heather (Trevan Richins), Stephan (Laura), Brent (fiancée Michelle), R. Alex, and Natalie Anderson; grandchildren Geneil, Tavin, Kelton, Bredon, and Kate; parents Clyde and Geneil Anderson of Logan, Utah; and siblings Marian McCann, Karen Jeppesen, Paul, Lorraine and Mark Anderson. He was loved by so many and will be truly missed.
Funeral services will be at the Pleasant Grove Garden Stake Center, 1028 N. 1000 West, Pleasant Grove, on Aug. 8 at 11 a.m. Viewing will also be at the stake center Aug. 7 from 6 to 8 p.m. and again Aug. 8 from 9:45 to 10:45 a.m. prior to the funeral. He will buried next to his Grandpa John Hughes in the Mendon, Utah, Cemetery.

Dear Anderson Family,
My wife and I were in Cache Valley last week visiting our family there. I stopped in the store on Center Street and learned of Brian's passing. I was totally shocked! I offer my deepest sympathy to all the family. Brian was always close to me as he shared an interest in Photography that was my profession for so many years, and I was close to all the Anderson Family members whom I met while living in the same Ward when I was first married, and was a regular customer at Anderson Feed and Seed. I worked with the young men in the Ward and Brian was among them and I know he will be deeply missed by all of those who grew up with him and especially his family. I offer my love and compassion to you all during this time of mourning. He will always be a fond memory in my heart.
Blessings to you all,
Bryan Felt
Houston, TX

Dear Kathy & family,
I am sorry to hear of Brian's passing. Brian had been on my mind for several weeks, perhaps now I know why. I am sorry I didn't make a better effort to get in touch with him.

Brian and I started school together in kindergarten and stayed as classmates through our senior year of high school. I still recall a silly little skit we did in second or third grade as well as swinging across the canal on a sketchy rope just above his house.

I am glad to have seen him at our last class reunion in Logan - it is a good memory to hang on to.

Wishing you all the comfort you need, though I suspect all of you will be comforting all the rest of us.

All my love,
Jay Lenkersdorfer
