Joseph Anders Obituary
Joseph Archie Anders Jr. passed away on November 28th, 2022 at age 67 after an incredibly too fast cancer diagnosis. He passed without pain while holding the hands of both his wife Kelley and daughter Lauren.
One of Dr. Anders' many loves was his career as a Doctor of Internal Medicine. He loved his patients, his colleagues, and above all he loved fighting for what was right. He has touched many lives throughout his 40+ years practicing medicine and surely would have continued if given the chance.
Joe was a gypsy at heart. One of his passions was travel- something he loved doing and something he loved planning so he could share the experience with those he loved most. Close family, Friends that had become family, The Hogs, and anyone else who was open to his best recommendations.
If he was not in the hospital doing rounds or traveling, Joe was golfing. A boring game to some, but a complete unwind for himself.
The world was not ready to lose Joe Anders and his small family will have a hole that cannot be filled, but memories of him will always be.
He had an unforgettable soul, a kind heart, and a genuine love for the life he had created that was surrounded by his favorite people.
Joe's visitation & service will be held on Sunday December 4, 2022 with visitation from 11am-1pm with service to immediately follow.
Let us all remember Joe the way he would want us to remember him.
In lieu of flowers, we would kindly appreciate donations made to Englewood Hospital.

Dear Kelley and Lauren sending my condolences. I got the opportunity to work with Kelley and Dr.Anders at Otsego Memorial Hospital in Gaylord Mi. When your family moved to Florida we lost a great Physician and co-Worker´s .However listening to Joe in the cafeteria talk about where he had to travel in the winter so he could Golf was hilarious. Remember Northern Michigan is not year round golf . So to be able to do the sport year round is a bonus. I understood the move and what a asset to Florida to gain a great physician and wonderful family. RIP Dr.Joe Anders.

So sorry to hear I can´t even begin to describe him, probably don´t need to because anyone that knew him knows exactly what I mean. A diamond in the rough, full of life, spoke his mind, loved to laugh and oh yes, the golf and travel. Krista and I have been reminiscing all week...."remember the time we went to his place in St. Maarten and he would call us every day while sitting at the nurses station" to check in on our adventures and see how much we loved it Or dare to call him on the golf course LOL . His patients loved him, he sat down and talked with them...gift of gab too! He left his mark and yes, left way too soon! Treasure your memories Kelley and Lauren as I know you will. Deepest condolences from Gaylord, Michigan (he touched many lives here and I´ve heard great stories, much sadness in the community and prayers for you in church yesterday after his death was announced)

I worked with Dr Anders a few years ago, I always admired him for the time and patience he has for his patients, and you would always find him sitting on the end of the bed, rather than a chair
He was a wonderful man and Dr. My deepest condolences go out to his wife and daughter and may he rest in peace. He will be greatly missed.

My brother was admitted to Naples hospital and we were notified to come . We were located in Auburndale Fl and had to drive which was a few hours away. Joe was waiting for us to arrive which was very late. He explained the situation and let us know how ill he really was. I will never forget his kindness and always let him know how much that meant to us when I saw him at family functions. He was a wonderful and compassionate Dr. Rest in peace Dr.

Last week, one of the Notre Dame publications displayed an autumn photo of the walkway that led to the site of Holy Cross Hall, where we lived for four years. Joe was one of the classmates I thought of seeing on that path on our way to classes. My condolences to his family, and may he rest In peace.
