John Anderson Obituary
Left to cherish John's memory include his loving wife of 34 years, Cherie H. Anderson; his sons, John H. Houston, Christopher Houston, William Anderson, and Joshua Anderson. He was predeceased by his parents, and sister Janice Anderson.
John enjoyed motorcycles and fishing in his spare time. He and his wife, Cherie rescued, raised, and cared for numerous animals over the years. They especially enjoyed their miniature horses and taking them to various festivities around town, including the Christmas, Veteran's Day, and Mardi Gras parades. The residents of Sims VA Nursing Home also enjoyed visits from the miniature horses. At one time, John served as a member of the Bayou George Volunteer Fire Department.
A memorial service will be held at East Bay Baptist Church; date and time will be announced soon.
