Robert LaVern Anderson, son of Butch and Virginia Anderson, was born July 9, 1959 in Powers Lake, ND and entered into Heaven on April 9, 2020 at the young age of 60. He graduated from Kenai Central High School in 1977.
Robert lived in Reeds Spring, Missouri for the past twelve years, moving from Kenai, Ak. At the time of his death he was working as a well tender for Hilcorp Energy Company in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska.
He was such a loving and compassionate man. Anyone in this world who had the privilege to know him knew that. He loved his children and family more than life itself. His loud laugh was contagious, when you were around him you couldn't help but join in on his laughter and positive outlook on life. His love for the Dallas Cowboys gave his children and grandchildren something to give him a hard time about, as well as something to always remember him by. He will forever be missed by those who truly loved and knew Robert for the man he was.
Robert was preceded in death by his daughter Katarina Anderson, his parents Butch and Virginia Anderson, brother Kim Anderson, sister Kathy Anderson.
He was survived by, his wife, Elizabeth Anne Anderson of Reeds Spring, MO, daughters; Sabrina Anderson of Gramercy, LA, Kayla (Dan) Silver of Soldotna, AK, Sheena (David) Ashkenasy of Kenai, AK.

My condolences to the family of my friend Robert L. Anderson. I had the pleasure of meeting Robert when I came to Alaska to work. Robert gave me and the rest of his coworkers many memorable times. One of the many things that Robert and I have in common, is the fact that we both are "Real Dallas Cowboys Fans". God bless you and stay strong.

Robert was hands down one of the most fun and happy people I have ever had the privilege to work with. He had an uncanny ability to make people laugh even when things weren't always going our way. He was always willing to help ya out no matter how unfun a particular task was. He will be missed greatly and Endicott will never be the same without him here.

He was a great person that will be sorely missed by everyone who knew him. He left a lot for us to remember him by, but one thing for sure i wont forget is his laugh. He definitely left the room brighter than when he entered. Always would be the first guy to give you the shirt of his back if you were in need, although that shirt might be sleeveless. Thank you Robert for making our island a little more special while you were here.

We are so sorry to hear of Roberts passing. Robert was a life long friend of mine. I even got to go stay with him in Alaska when my parents, sisters, and I went on vacation many years ago. Although the last time I spoke with him was a couple years ago he was so easy going and friendly time didnt seem to matter. Always friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and yours in this time of sorrow. Rest In Peace Robert.

So sorry for your loss. Robert was a cousin I did not have the opportunity to get to know well. Through picture on facebook, I was able to see his love for his family. Prayers for all, from one of many North Dakota cousins. God Bless.

There is a lot to be said about Robert but the one that stands out the best is that you could trust that he would make you laugh. He was a great coworker and friend.

Few people I have met in my life make me smile any time I see them. Robert was one of them. Things were always a bit brighter (and louder, so much louder) when he was in a room and his ability for back-and-forth oilfield banter will remain unmatched. Ill never forget the time Robert got soaked while testing fire monitors (deluge guns). He got even and drenched almost everyone on the team laughing the whole time. Thank you, Robert, for making fire training fun. And thank you for teaching us to not sweat the small stuff. You will be greatly missed.
