Michael E. Anderson, Jr.

ANDERSON, Michael Edward Jr., of Clarkston; passed suddenly October 30, 2022 at the age of 68. Beloved husband of Jennifer; loving father of Audrey Smith, Ryan (Mia) Anderson, Tyler Anderson, Jessica (Tyler) Brashaw, Nicholas Anderson, Bryce Anderson, Connor Anderson and Reardon Anderson; proud grandfather of Ava Brashaw, Layla Brashaw, Cecilia Brashaw, Zyan Smith, Camden Smith, Adelyn Memering, and Amelia Smith; special brother of William (Zoraida) Anderson, Carol (Joseph) Gallagher, Doreen (Raul) Anderson , and Karen (John) Mastria.

With thanks and praise from a grateful nation, we honor Mike's service to our country as a sailor in the United States Navy. Stationed in Crane, Indiana, Mike was truly honored upon receiving recognition as the #1 recruit in his training class which earned him the prestigious "Navy Club of the United States Military Excellence Award." Following his graduation from training, Mike went on to serve as a Naval Hospital Corpsman.

Following his naval service, Mike went on to graduate from Indiana University, Bloomington in 1984, earning his degree in Computer Science. After several years in the industry, Mike became a successful Chief Information Officer and executive leader in his field, and eventually answered the call of entrepreneurship by becoming the CEO & Founder of his own company.

While Mike was always a hard worker and dedicated to his career, he had a passion for something far greater in life,…his children. He was simply born to be a Dad and put his children first at all times. Always giving, forever teaching, the greatest coach, and loved expressing his inner being through dancing, singing and making Dad jokes. His children were loved unconditionally. Mike was a father through & through and it was, by far, his Superhero talent. Mike lived for his children and his love for each of them was rooted deep within.

"A Father's Love is
Timeless
Forever Lasting
Has no beginning
nor end
Eternal"
