Publish in a newspaper

Dean F. Anderson, age 61, of Hanover, MN, formerly a 35 year resident of Maple Grove, MN and grew up a proud North Sider, passed away unexpectedly on January 2, 2023.
Dean was so proud of his family and the experiences they shared. He spent 30+ years as a carpenter and Superintendent mainstay at North Memorial Hospital and was truly apart of the North "Family". He was an avid outdoorsman who loved hunting and fishing and would make any excuse to get out in the woods or out for a pontoon booze cruise around the lake. He was a strong, reliable and loyal man who would drop anything to help others. Many will miss the endearing quality he brought to every room and relationships he built with others.
Dean is survived by wife of 35 years and love of his life, Brenda; favorite son, Derek (Michelle); and proud grandfather of Cameron, Bria and Abigail; five siblings, Roy Anderson, Karen (Rudy) Rathert, Linda Anderson, Kenny Anderson, and Daryl (Roxanne) Anderson; along with many loved nieces, nephews, and countless great friends.
Preceded in death by parents, Roy and Nora Anderson; nieces, Tiffany Guerra-Jacques and Jennifer Hughes.
Services to honor this wonderful man will be a visitation held on Monday, January 9th from 4-7 PM at Washburn McReavy Glen Haven Chapel in Crystal, MN with a Funeral Mass on Tuesday, January 10th at 11 AM at Mary Queen of Peace Catholic Church in Rogers, MN, with visitation one hour prior. Burial to follow at Gethsemane Cemetery in New Hope, MN.

Dean we all loved you at Fleet Farm and you were my work husband. You will be truley missed at work. We all adored you. Dean always talked about his grandkids and wife and kids. He showed me the beautiful house he had made for his wife family and grandkids. When he went deer hunting he said he was bringing me venison and thuringer. We all gonna miss and love him. He was a awsome coworker and friend. My heart goes out to all of you so dearly. Sheila.

Dear Brenda, we are so saddened by the loss of Dean. What great memories though of our cocktail hours out in the street. Leon is wondering who he is going to harass now. Wish we could be with you, but please consider this a huge hug from the both of us. You will stay in our thoughts and prayers.
