Bruce Anderson
May 26, 1955 - December 17, 2021
Reflections of Life
Bruce was born in Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Texas to the parentage of Mr. Louis and Mrs. Juanita Williams Anderson on May 26th, 1955. He was born the fourth child of twelve loving siblings.
He received his formal education in the Fort Worth ISD, attending M.L. Kirkpatrick and graduating from I.M. Terrell HS as part of the graduating class of 1973. After graduation, Bruce attended Tarrant County College. After moving to Tooele, Utah, he received his Bachelor of Business Administration degree from the University of Utah.
Following his completion of military duty, serving 14 years in the US Air Force, he temporarily settled in Los Angeles, CA, accepting employment at the Aberdeen Chemical Agent Facility. After years of employment there, a promotion prompted him to accept relocation with the company to Tooele, Utah, where he retired after 25 yrs.
Under the guidance of his parents, Bruce accepted Christ as Lord and Savior and was baptized at an early age. Reaffirming his faith in Christ, after settling in the state of Utah, he became a faithful member of the Calvary Baptist Church SLC, under the pastorage of Dr. France A. Davis. Bruce was a faithful member of the Ushers auxiliary until his death.
Preceding him in death: his parents, Louis and Juanita Anderson, oldest brother, Frankie Wright, and his grandparents.

I've known Mr Bruce since I was around 12 yrs old. He has always been like a grandpa to me......and when I had my daughter....he always spoiled her with money and gifts. Mr Bruce and I ended up working together at the VA Hospital for a few years......I always made sure to get one of his amazing bear hugs. I will always cherish the talks we had and the love he gave not only myself, but my daughter as well. WE MISS YOU!!

Lil' Brother, it's still hard to believe you moved on to your Heavenly home. The many times I told you to move home..this wasn't what meant! It is no doubt we will see you again. You are there with Daddy, Momma & Frankie; but, the real comfort is in knowing you are resting in the arms of Jesus. See ya in the morning, love you so much! Your Big Sister..

My Condolences to the family, I am Deacon David Hollins and one of Bruce's friend. As I set here thinking about our laughter over the years gives me great Joy to know God put us together and what a friend he was. Very mild and humble spirit and had a since of humor like you would not believe if you got to know him. Bruce and I drove the church van, song in the Men choir and were Masonic brothers. Mr. Pittman, Bruce and I would have so much fun laughing and joking together. Bruce was committed to everything he was involved in, he loved his job with the VA, serving as an Ursher, singing and driving the church Van. I have several great memories but one that stick out right now is when he and I drove the church van to Rock Springs, WY. I drove up and he drove back to Salt Lake,One stop in Wyoming we had to make was at the one Popeyes restruant so we could grab some chicken before returning to Utah. Bruce and I love food and talking about what we would cook, I been asked over the years if we were brothers and I would say yes with lots of laughter then explain we were good friends and church members. Bruce will be truly missed by me and his Utah family. I know God has a plan for all of us and I know I will see him again. May continue to Bless You all and give you the strength to keep Holding on to God's Unchanging Hands. In Jesus Name I Pray. Amen
