William Anderson Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Crowell Brothers Funeral Homes & Crematory - Peachtree Corners Chapel on Feb. 5, 2026.
William "Bill" L. Anderson was born on October 21, 1950, in Coatesville, Pennsylvania. From an early age, he showed a love for adventure and creativity, spending time surfing as a child and developing a lifelong appreciation for music. He later became a talented saxophonist, sharing his gift and bringing joy to those around him.

During his college years, Bill was active and athletic, participating in recreational basketball teams and forming friendships that reflected his outgoing and vibrant spirit. He went on to build a successful career in finance, becoming a respected and accomplished accountant known for his dedication, integrity, and strong work ethic. After many years of service, he retired, leaving behind a legacy of professionalism and commitment.

In 1972, Bill married the love of his life, Beverly, and together they shared a beautiful marriage spanning more than five decades. They built a loving family and a life centered on faith, laughter, and togetherness. Bill was a devoted husband, a proud father, and an adoring grandfather who cherished time spent with his children and grandchildren.

In his later years, Bill made his home in Lawrenceville, Georgia, where he created a warm and welcoming environment filled with love and joy. He remained active in his faith as a proud and engaged member of 12 Stone Church, embracing fellowship and community. He also treasured sunny days at the beach with family and friends, continuing his lifelong love of the ocean.

Bill peacefully passed away on January 30, 2026, at the age of 75. He will be remembered for his vibrant spirit, zest for life, and the deep love he shared with everyone fortunate enough to know him.

Bill is survived by his loving wife, Beverly Anderson; his children, Candace Anderson Jones and Damon Anderson and wife Brittani; and his cherished grandchildren, Alyssa Jones, McKenna Jones, Grant Anderson, and Griffin Anderson. He is also survived by his brother and sister-in-law, Lewis "Lew" and Janet Anderson; sister, Karen Miller; as well as a host of nieces, nephews and extended family.

Bill was preceded in death by his father, Lewis Paul Anderson Sr., and mother, Rosemarie Keenan Anderson; son-in-law, Lee "Rob" Jones, and brother-in-law, Lee Miller.

A celebration of Bill's life will be held on Saturday, February 28, 2026 at 3:00 pm at 12Stone Church, 1322 Buford Dr, Lawrenceville, GA 30043, where family and friends will gather to honor his remarkable legacy. In accordance with his wishes, Bill will be cremated.
