January 24, 1949 — May 22, 2019
Michael Lee Anderson
Mike died May 22 with family present at Rosehaven Nursing center. He was born Jan 24, 1949 in Roseburg to Harry and Joan Anderson
Childhood was filled with Mischief makers, what we didn't think up. His future wife was one of those childhood buddies.
Mike graduated from Roseburg High in "67". He participated in cross country track and ran against Prefontaine a few times, admitting to loss. After graduation it wasn't long til Uncle Sam beckoned, he went into the Army and served in Germany with the Pershing Missile Brigade. He was awarded section chief and Sargent.
After serving his country he went to work for Roseburg Lumber for 37 yrs. He also volunteered for Lookinglass Fire Dept for 10 yrs.
Retirement was spent in lovely Melrose overlooking mountains; he loved it there, and cutting his own firewood. And many outdoor interests, helping Dixie with her ongoing planting hobby. He also dearly loved target shooting with his good buddies Bob Hollenbeck & Jimmy Merritt. Bullets and BS as I called it.
There are so many wonderful people that helped us along the way, VA hospital, River House, Bristol Hospice, Mercy, Rosehaven and Firemen that came to our home on numerous occasions. Roseburg has a big heart.
He leaves his wife Dixie, daughter Sara (Richard) son Ryan. Sisters Monica (Jeff), Gail (Ross) Tammy (David), Brother Richard, 2 grandchildren & 2 g. grandchildren. He was preceded by brother Geary & Mom & Dad.
His good Buddies Bob, Jimmy & JC will miss the many laughs. In lieu of flowers please make donations to local VFW.
We love you more Mike!
