John Anderson Obituary
Vancouver, WA
April 26, 1963 - May 28, 2024
John William Anderson ,61 or affectionately known by his childhood friends, as "Bean-O" went to be with our lord on May 28th, 2024 after a long battle against Cadasil.
John was born on April 26th, 1963 in Cornwall, NY. Survivors include his daughter, April Anderson, Oakland, CA, mother Theresa Anderson of Vancouver, WA, brothers Robert, (MaryFran) of Tualatin, OR, Donald, (Jaime) of Cumming, GA, sister Tracy Anderson of Pingree Grove, Il and many beloved aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins. He was predeceased by his father, Robert J. Anderson, Sr. (1998).
John was a proud graduate from James I O'Neill HS. After high school John lived in several states as his career in Technology sales with Sato Corporation took him throughout North America and Asia. John was an elite performer winning numerous awards and accolades. Due to the onset of his illness he was forced to give up the career he cherished.
John enjoyed the outdoors in the Pacific Northwest. He loved fishing, hunting and golfing but most of all he loved his family and the life they built in Washington.
John had an unbelievable sense of humor and any occasion was greatly enhanced by his unique perspective. John was immensely proud of his daughter, April who made him so gratified upon her graduation from the University of California, Berkeley.
As per John's request, no funeral or memorial service will be held.
