Larry Dell Anderson, born in Coos Bay, Oregon on November 6, 1964, passed away December 19, 2022 in his Peoria home. Larry was born to Larry Sr. and Kathryn Anderson, and was raised in Oregon until the family moved to Arizona in 1977.
Larry spent his early childhood by his father’s side, tinkering with any mechanical apparatus he could find. He had a competitive spirit and loved racing, particularly BMX bikes. He attended Trevor Browne High School where his ambitious nature developed into a knack for business. Larry set out on many aspiring endeavors throughout the years and eventually established Sun Ridge Roofing in 1996, which he owned and operated for 26 years.
Larry loved people and would drop everything for anyone in need. His infectious laughter drew others in, and his wholehearted and rebellious grin could not be concealed by his broad and carefully sculpted mustache. Larry had an avid love for animals, especially dogs, which he bred and raised with great care. Undoubtedly, Larry’s greatest love and passion was for his son, Wayne, whom he lived and breathed for. Larry loved watching Wayne competitively race quads and committed himself to providing Wayne with any and every opportunity to do so. Wayne is Larry’s greatest legacy, reflecting all of his father’s best qualities.
Larry is survived by his son, Wayne D. Anderson, his father, Larry D. Anderson Sr., his step-mother, Paulette Anderson, and his brothers, Jeff and Donovan Anderson. He is preceded in death by his mother, Kathryn D. Anderson and his brother, Wayne L. Anderson.
