Conley Wyatt Andersen

It is with tremendous sadness that we announce the passing of Conley Wyatt Andersen. He left us on

November 20, 2024, at the age of 74, after battling a brief illness. Above all, Conley’s life was defined by

his devotion and love for his family.

He was born on October 30, 1950 in Paso Robles, California, to Keith Sanders Andersen and Cleone

Wyatt Andersen. He was the second of three brothers and grew up exploring the rolling hills of Paso

Robles. Throughout his childhood, Conley attended The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and

was also a member of his local Boy Scouts chapter.

Conley graduated from Paso Robles High School in 1968 and began attending Cal Poly State University,

SLO, where he majored in Architectural Engineering. Throughout these years, he played the bass guitar in

a local band called Statesboro. They performed throughout California, growing to be a musical success on

the Central Coast. Conley was proud of his band and often reminisced about his wonder-years of creating

and performing music. He passed his love for music down to his children and introduced them to all of

the greatest artists and bands.

Conley decided to switch gears and forge a new path in his life. He left his Architectural Engineering

education and began his journey of law school. He also found a sport that would become a lifelong

passion: tennis.

While playing tennis on a sunny day in 1977, Conley met a beautiful woman named Sandy. Sandy began

frequently showing up to join his tennis matches. It wasn’t long until they were spending all of their

waking hours together. By 1979 they found themselves in a little white chapel in Morro Bay where they

vowed to love and honor each other, in sickness and in health. This kickstarted the making of a thing that

Conley would treasure more than anything else in his life: his family.

Conley worked full time, attended law school, and supported his growing family; it was grueling, but he

persevered. One day, all of his hard work paid off: He passed the California Bar Exam. He began his

career as an attorney, and would carry his immense pride for his work until his last days.

Conley is survived by his wife: Sandra Andersen, his children: Kristin Feavel, Amber Main, and Laura

Brian, his grandchildren: Cali White, Austin Feavel, Millie Sandoval, Ethan Feavel, Logan Davis, Avery

Davis, Lucy Davis, Daxton Brian, and Micah Main Jr., and his great-grandchildren: Rosie Feavel, Evelyn

White, and Stephen Sandoval. There is nothing that Conley (aka “Toots,” Dad, Papa, Popcon) adored

more than spending time with the people he loved. He had a real soft spot for his grandbabies, whom he

would always have some sort of yummy treat stashed away for.

The world has lost a wise, empathetic, funny, and loving person; the type of person it needs more of. His

family and friends are deeply saddened by his sudden loss. His smile and his sweet voice will never, ever

be forgotten.

A memorial service will be held on Tuesday, December 3rd at 4pm at Legacy Church, 5545 Ardilla Rd.,

Atascadero
