Jonathan Anderson Obituary
February 7, 1951 - September 20, 2025
Jonathan Joel Anderson, better known to many as "JJ"-departed this world on Saturday, September 20, 2025 after a 22-year battle with prostate cancer. He faced cancer with the same stoic resolve and tenacity he brought to the courtroom.
More than anything, he loved his wife of 51 years, Janet and his children, Emily, Kathryn, and Jonathan. The joy in his life came from seeing them grow, and earning the title of "Ababa," bestowed by his seven grandchildren, whom he loved without reserve.
JJ is survived by his wife, Janet Brooks Anderson and children, Emily Anderson Lukanich (Christopher), Kathryn Anderson Murphy (Brian), and Jonathan Lee Anderson (Caitlin). And also by his grandchildren, Eleanor Murphy, Abigail Murphy, Conor Murphy, Sean Murphy, Ian Lukanich, Christian Lukanich, and Cillian Anderson, He is also survived by his sister, Pamela S. Anderson and brother, William F. Anderson.
Services will be held at Grace Episcopal Cathedral, 98 Wentworth Street, Charleston, SC 29401, on Thursday, September 25 at 2 p.m. Burial at St. James cemetery will be private.
In lieu of flowers, his family requests donations be made in his name to either: The Lowcountry Foodbank or Grace Church Cathedral.
A memorial message may be sent to the family by visiting our website at www.jhenrystuhr.com.
