Brian Anderson Obituary
West Boylston - Brian Matthew Anderson, 38, passed away unexpectedly in his home on Friday, July 16, 2021.
Brian was born in Worcester, son of Gayle (Guerin) Sharigian and the late Franklin J. Anderson. He grew up in Auburn where he later graduated from high school. Brian's love and talent repairing cars is what lead him to pursue this as a career. He later graduated from Wyoming Technical School and was employed, most recently, at Imperial Hyundai of Milford. Previously, he had worked for Herb Chambers Hyundai of Auburn, as well as many dealerships throughout the state.
Brian not only had a passion for working on cars, but also found the time to enjoy the great outdoors. Fishing, 4-wheeling and golf were among his favorite past times. Brian loved his New England sports teams, the Bruins being his favorite. Brian was very kind and loving, he was the type of person who would always be willing to help others in need. He was loved by many and will be greatly missed.
He leaves behind his loving mother, Gayle Sharigian and her husband Charles of West Boylston; his siblings, Kevin Neil Kelleher of Bigfork, Montana, Laurie Burton and her husband Kevin of Dayton, Maine, Lisa Fitman and her husband Kevin of Spencer and Stephen Anderson of Auburn. He was also a loving Uncle to several nephews and adored by his maternal grandmother, Theresa Guerin. Brian was predeceased by his father Franklin.
