Dane Russell Andersen

Dane Russell Andersen, cherished son, brother and friend, passed away on December 18, 2022. He was born on July, 23, 1997 in Austin, Texas and leaves behind his parents Russell and Sileide Andersen. He was preceded in death by his brother TJ, who tragically died in 2020.

Dane lived fast and furiously in his 25 years. He was an inquisitive, adventurous child who loved doing crazy BMX tricks with his beloved brother. He loved dogs, fishing and camping with his family. As an adult, he was an enterprising man of immense physical strength and determination, with limitless potential. Sadly, life events and depression issues lead him down a path to where he couldn't see that potential himself.

To my son,

Someday when the pages of my life end

I know that you will be one of the most beautiful chapters

Always keep me in your heart

For you are always in mine

Nothing, and nobody, not even time will ever change that

-Mother and Son, Forever Linked Together-

While he will be missed by his family and friends, all that loved him know that he is finally at peace. We find comfort in his final gift, which was to leave his organs to others so that they may benefit from his strength, his heart and his determination.
