With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Brian K. Anderson, a beloved husband, father, grandpa, brother, and friend, who left this world on Sunday, April 13, 2025, at the age of 69 after a 9-month battle with cancer. He was surrounded by his loving family in his final hours. Born in Kenosha, WI on June 2, 1955, to Earl and Jeanne (Hammel) Anderson. He was a graduate of Tremper High School.
On August 29, 1981, he married the love of his life Maureen Powers.
In his earlier years he was an avid Harley Davidson rider. He enjoyed being a Bucks season ticket holder and would have loved to see them go to the playoffs. Brian had a love for live music and spent time listening with his wife and friends. He was a role model in the local recovery community and a revered mentor to other people in recovery. He was a “jack of all trades” and knew a bit about everything from small engine repair to gardening and was always willing to use his skills to help others. He worked hard as a machinist at LPI, Abbott Laboratories/Hospira, and Ocean Spray, where he was awarded employee of the year. After retirement he loved spending time with family, traveling, and helping to care for his grandchildren.
He is survived by his wife, Maureen; his daughters, Michelle (Bryan) Koss, Rachael (David) Wright and Janelle (Corey) Heim; his grandchildren, Connor, Della, Veda, Bryson, Calvin, Ava, McKenna and Owen; his siblings, Mark (Margie) Anderson, and Linda Milke and many nieces and nephews.

April 15, 2025Dearest Maureen, Michelle, Rachael, Janelle and family, We are so completely heartbroken over your loss. We know how hard Brian fought his illness so that he could be there for you. Talking with Brian, his illness was not his biggest fear. It was his fear of not being able to be here to take care of his beloved family. Please know that he will never leave you. He will always be there with you. Watching, caring, worrying and always wishing for the best for his family. You will always be able to talk with him. Ask him a question, and be sure that he will always have the right answer for you. You were all his world!! Our deepest sympathies, thoughts and prayers are with you all. For more than 50 years it has been our honor to have such a wonderful person for a friend. Through the countless good times, and some not so good, Brian was always there for support. We have tried to be there for him as well. The memories are overflowing with the great times we shared with Brian and Maureen over the years, (so happy we got to go see Ringo together last year!). The memories will never fade nor will our love for Brian (he will always be Bra Bra to us!). The pain and suffering are over now Bra. Rest in peace dear friend. Love always, Claudia and Paul
