Kenneth Heber Anderson, 84, died February 21, 2024 peacefully at his home in Highland, Utah. He was born November 24, 1939 in Ioka, Utah to Leland Dan Anderson and Thressa Elvira Bowden. He attended Olympus High School in Holladay, Utah. He married Joyce Loraine Pierson in North Brookfield, New York on December 12. 1959.

He enlisted in the Army in 1957 – 1959 spending time in Germany until he was involved in an accident, resulting in the last few months of his service in Walter Reed Army hospital in Washington, DC. Upon being honorably discharged, he returned with his bride to Utah where he started working in construction, drywalling with his father for a few years, doing cement for a few more years, until he got into building homes, gas stations, warehouses, and other large projects. He was later employed by Ellsworth Peck and ended up with Furst Construction Co. with Craig Bennett as his boss, and forever his friend. He enjoyed the outdoors all his life, whether it was fishing, camping, hunting, or just taking rides around the countryside checking out the wildlife. His love for his family could never be surpassed by anything; they meant the world to him. He was always excited when another baby was born, and every one of them has a story to tell about some of the funny, loving, memorable, or teachable things he did with or for them. He was more than just a grandpa to them.

He is survived by his wife, Joyce, of 64 years, his two daughters, Kristi (Patrick) Fitch and Julie Ybarra, 14 grandchildren, 10 great grandchildren, 2 great, great grandchildren, 4 sisters, Rea (Robert) Taylor, Joan (Johnnie) Johnatakis, Betty (Gary) Pedersen, and Kathy Anderson, a sister-in-law, Charleena (Bradley) Lutze.
