It is with profound sorrowfulness to announce the death and funeral services of Mr. Michael E. Anderson of Columbus, OH, formerly of Circleville, OH. Michael passed peacefully in his sleep at home surrounded by his dedicated partner of over 30 years and his beloved pets Lucky & Honey.
After courageously fighting Stage 4 cancer in 2014, the cause of death was complications of the radiation. Which through all the years Mr. Anderson never complained, never was angry with people, life or G-d. Mr. Anderson remained strong and devout in Lord Jesus Christ.
Born in the month of October on the Twenty-Fifth Day in the year of Nineteen Hundred and Fifty-Seven, in Circleville, OH, to the late Mr. Richard E. Anderson and Ms. Hazel “Pearl” Carter-Anderson.
Michael thoroughly enjoyed life by attending church, family reunions for the Boyer & Carter families, traveling to the Florida Keys, Myrtle Beach, Jamaica, Niagara Falls, Frankenmuth Michigan, St. Petersburg Florida, San Diego California, Hidalgo & Tijuana Mexico. Michael was always proud to be from Circleville, OH and most of all being born during The Circleville Pumpkin Show, and going to The EKS.
Mr. Anderson was a maintenance tech worker for 33 years of service to the General Electric lamp factory in Circleville, OH. Prior to that position, Michael had fond memories of working with his late sister Ms. Carol Anderson-Gilmore at Glo’s pizza parlor.
When the workday ended at the factory, Mr. Anderson happily hung-out with his friends at the Circleville, OH B.P.O.E (The Elks Lodge, being a proud lifelong member).
Michael always looked forward to going with guys to the Little Brown Jug in Delaware, OH and each year, The Circleville Pumpkin Show. His fun dream and goals were to be on The Price Is Right and Cash Explosion Show and cheering on The Ohio State Buckeyes. Mr. Anderson was predeceased by his loving grandparents: Mr. Baldwin Anderson & Ms. Leona Boyer-Anderson and Ms. Marie McElhaney-Carter & Mr. Jessie Earl Carter.
