David Wilford Anderson

David Wilford Anderson Passed away on December 25th 2021. After a brief but valiant battle with pneumonia. He was 77.
David was born in Salt Lake City, Utah on December 5th 1944. To Arnold "Andy" Anderson and Jean Martha Anderson. He was their only child. David graduated from Granite high School before attending the University of Utah where he earned a bachelor's degree in Philosophy.
After school Dave joined his father in the family business, "Andy's Automotive". Dave helped his dad to grow the business and when his dad retired, he officially took the enterprise over and ran it successfully for many years. After Arnold's passing Dave sold Andy's Automotive and took a position running a brand-new auto body shop in sunny St. George as a joint venture between St. George Ford and Stephan Wade Chevrolet. Thus, the family moved to St. George Utah and has loved the red sand and palm trees ever since.
An enthusiastic skier (snow and water), Dave lived in a condo right on the Ski slope in Park City, Utah. In his younger years Dave loved skiing with friends and family. Later in life after age and a broken leg diminished his ski trips, Dave turned his attention to golf. His favorite past time was to drive to mesquite and gamble, golf and eat at the buffet!
Dave was a beloved husband and father who is survived by his wife Kathy Anderson and his children Stephanie Evans and her husband Randal, Michelle Ashburn, Drake Anderson and his wife Monica. Also survived by his loving grandchildren who will miss their grandpa.
Dave is preceded in death by his parents Arnold and Jean Anderson and his stepson Thomas Clardy.
