Lars was born on February 2, 1958 in Pilot Point, Texas. He was preceded in death by his parents, Lars Ole Andersen, Sr. and Maurine Andersen Floyd. After the untimely death of Lars Sr., Maurine remarried to J.B. Floyd who later influenced Lars to follow in his own footsteps. Lars graduated from Denton High School and later from the Dallas Institute of Funeral Service choosing to join the family business with J.B. Floyd at Schmitz-Floyd-Andersen funeral home. He later became owner/operator of Schmitz-Floyd-Andersen where he served his community with honor and respect for many years before choosing to retire.

Lars enjoyed a life full of love and laughter. His many hobbies included baseball, cooking, hunting, gardening, bee-keeping, and most notably, a deep love of music. This love of nature and music brought him many lifelong friends over the years. Lars always strived to serve others before himself and worked with various charities and volunteer groups in the community. He developed a deep Christian faith as a young boy and stood strong in that faith his entire life.
