Gary Anderson


Gary Anderson, 63, of Charlotte, Mich., the kind of man who would do anything for a friend, but also a stubborn guy that liked to do things his way, died April 30, 2021. He was born in Charlotte on July 27, 1957 to Melvin and Dorothy (Lucas) Anderson and lived his entire life in the town. Gary worked at General Motors for 30 plus years before his retirement. Family meant everything to Gary, he enjoyed always making Christmas breakfast for his family. They remember lots of good times spent together as a family and will cherish the memories, including stories of his yard work in cut off jean shorts. Some of Gary’s favorite activities include bowling (he was on many different leagues over the years and was proud of his perfect 300 game), watching NASCAR, barbecuing, and playing games on his computer. He was previously a member of the Eagles Club in Charlotte and served as club secretary.
Gary is survived by his wife, Rhonda Anderson; children, Jennifer (Sam) Walters, Gary (Miranda) Anderson, and Trenton Anderson; nine grandchildren, Damon, Dakota, Hailey, Maci, Jacob, Isabelle, Arianna, Raylynn, and Lily; one great-grandson, Finley; his father, Melvin Anderson; siblings, Carl (Cathy) Anderson, Karen (Curt) Keck, and Brian (Vicky)Anderson; and his best friend, Doug Dickinson. He was predeceased by his mother, Dorothy Anderson.
A memorial service is being planned for a later date. Friends and family are encouraged to share memories of Gary on his tribute page at PrayFuneral.com. The family is in the care of Pray Funeral Home, Charlotte.
