Thomas Anderson Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Sandberg Funeral & Cremation Services on Jan. 2, 2026.
Anderson Thomas "Tom", age 80 of Lake Elmo. Passed away peacefully surrounded by family on December 4th. Tom is preceded in death by parents Selby and Leah Anderson; sister Barbara Gormanson; brothers David, Gary, and William; and his beloved twin brother, Tim, whose recent passing left a tender place in Tom's heart. It brings comfort to know they are together again. Tom is survived by his loving wife Susan; his children Jeff (Kelly), Brian, and Kyle (Natasha); and his three adored grandchildren Greyson, Audrey and Vivienne. He is also survived by his brother Howard (Val); his sister Linda Wilk; and extended family and friends. Tom was an avid fan of Minnesota sports. He enjoyed playing tennis and golf, fishing with family and loved to read and travel. He was a devoted husband, a proud father, a loyal brother and doting grandfather. We will miss his humor, kindness and constant love. A Funeral Service will be held Friday, January 9th with a visitation at 10:00am and service at 11:00am at Guardian Angels Catholic Church at 8260 4th Street North, Oakdale, MN. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be sent to donor's choice.

When I think of Tommy, I think of smiles and laughter, such a cute sense of humor and his love for fishing. I have not seen him since my North High School days but he left a lasting impression of how I wanted to be. He was a ray of sunshine at North High. My sincere condolences.
