In Memory of Scott David Anderson [pictured above, furthest right]
December 05, 1961 – August 28, 2019
I am thankful for the six years I worked at Comcast, and especially thankful for having worked with Nicholas Kaiho and Scott Anderson.
Scott was a devoted friend, a diligent co-worker, and devoutly faithful. If my own experience with Stage 4 Cancer these last two years has taught me anything, it is that life is not fair and we should not expect fairness in our lifetimes. It is better that we live well, that we try our best, and that we live our lives so that others will remember us for our humanity and not our failings.
Scott was a good man, an accomplished co-worker, and a kindred spirit in this journey. Victoria and I rejoice for having known Scott and Mitzie, and our hearts break for his passing. He will be sorely missed.
Scott David Anderson, 57, of Des Moines, Iowa, lost his battle to cancer at the comfort of his own home surrounded by his loving family on August 28, 2019.
Scott is survived by his wife, Mitzie, of 35 years, daughters Erika (Anderson) Bohon and Amanda Anderson, grandchild Caroline Bohon, brother Tom Anderson, sisters Janet (Anderson) Jansen and Carol (Anderson) Crum, and many loving nieces, nephews and extended family. Scott was a very devoted and loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend to everyone.
Scott served in the United States Air Force from July 1980 through March 1988. He worked as a Computer Engineer for Sonatype for the past two years.
Scott loved sports, especially baseball and college football. His favorite teams were the Washington Nationals and the Iowa Hawkeyes. He enjoyed spending his free time watching sports on TV and also enjoyed movies, biking, gardening, and reading.
He was a leader at his church, Emmanuel Baptist in Manassas, Virginia where he led the Awana Ministry and was involved in children’s ministry for 25 years.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Raymond and Madelyn, his brother, Douglas Anderson, and his niece Cindy Anderson.
Visitations will be held on Monday, September 9th, 2019, 10:30am-12:00pm at Emmanuel Baptist Church, 8006 Centreville Rd, Manassas, VA 20111. A Celebration of Life Service will follow from 12:00 to 1:00pm officiated by Pastor Tim Ma. Scott will be laid to rest at the Quantico National Cemetery in Triangle, Virginia. The family has respectfully asked only immediate family at burial site.
