Born in Saluda County, South Carolina, Mr. Anderson was the son of the late Gary Martin Anderson and Betty Preston Anderson. He later made his home in Clearwater, South Carolina, where he built a life rooted in faith, family, and hard work. He retired after many years of dedicated service in the textile industry. A faithful and devoted member of Mercy Gate Church, he was also proud to be part of their F.T.O.
Mr. Anderson loved the outdoors, especially camping and fishing. He also found great joy in taking rides through "The Valley" in his truck, always curious to see what was happening and to enjoy the simple pleasures of life.
Above all, Mr. Anderson was a loving father and devoted Papa. He cherished time spent with his children and grandchildren, often content to sit nearby and lovingly supervise, simply enjoying their presence. He was deeply loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to Gentiva Hospice, especially Brittany and Tamika, for their compassionate care and support.
In honor of the love Mr. Anderson had for his church, memorials may be made to Mercy Gate Church.
