Keith Anderson

Keith Walter Anderson, age 50, of Crosslake died Sunday, September 30, at St. Cloud Hospital.. Keith was born January 25, 1962, in Chisago Lakes, Mn. to Kurt E. and Patricia (Israel) Anderson. He attended school in Scandia, Cottage Grove and moved to Crosslake in 1972 and graduated from Pequot Lakes in 1980. He was confirmed at Crosslake Lutheran Church where he was a member until his death.

He did many small jobs in his youth. He worked at Crosslake IGA as a bagger and meat cutter for some years before going to work for Crosslake Lumber and continued with Simonson Lumber. He was passionate about his job and enjoyed meeting people. He joined the Crosslake Fire Dept. after graduation and recently retired as Chief.

Keith was many things but first and foremost a son, brother, husband, father, uncle and friend. Nothing else meant more to him. He wore a big grin (most of the time) and everyone loved his sense of humor and big hugs. He will be sadly missed.

He is survived by wife, Brenda (Auer) Anderson, sons Brandon and Chase and daughter Jordyn, all of Crosslake. Also surviving are his mother Pat of Crosslake, sisters Chris of Pequot Lakes and Jenny of Crosslake, aunts Barb and Marge, and many cousins, nieces and nephews.
