I went to Hartnell College with Preston. He was a great friend to me from the time I met him. Preston helped me whenever I needed it, I was going through a hard time bouncing around from couch to couch and he opened his home to me when I needed it. I was going to play on the woman's basketball team my 2nd year at Hartnell and Preston and I were always grabbing a ball and either playing one-on-one at the school's gym or shooting around at the parks. I had left Hartnell for a little while but stayed in contact with Preston. Now that I am back at the school and finally going to play for them I only wish Preston could be in the stands at one of my games, cheering me on with that big smile I used to see all the time. He is greatly missed and will be with me every time I step out on that court because that is where his heart was.

I think I talked about Preston more than any other missionary from the mission.  I loved his stories and frank attitude that he had towards others.  He taught me a lot from the time that I had to serve around him and will be greatly missed.  We used to sit around and talk about different doctrine books that we would write when we were older that revolved around our experiences as missionaries.  I will never forget his amazing sarcastic sense of humor and his ability to always tell me that my theories about the Gospel were crazy.  He also crushed me in basketball week in and week out.  I love him and will miss him greatly.

I will always remember you.You was very friendly and help full person Preston.

I will never forget Preston's HUGE smile and cute chubby cheeks as a baby and toddler.  He was always smiling and laughing. I will always love his joking nature and remember laughing at the videos he put on facebook a few years ago when he attended BYU-Provo.  They would be video's he and his friends would make pranking people.(We have many pranksters in our family) The videos usually ended with someone yelling, "PRESTON!"  My heart goes out to to my Uncle Corey, Aunt Tricia, and cousins Lindsay, Morgan, Carson and Whitney.  You are in my thoughts and prayers daily.  I love you all.  Preston will always be kept in my thoughts and heart.  We love and miss you Preston.

Preston was a darling baby and a good young man.  His smile and laughter was infectious to those around him through out his life.  We love and miss him.  We love and care for his family very much and offer our condolences.

To The Preston Family, I didn't know your son but i do remember his story from Salinas. I was very sadden when my children told me about your son. My heart and prayers go out to the Preston family.

Most of my memories from High School include Preston (BIG) . He was always good at making those around him laugh and have a good time. I am saddened by this loss and sad for his family! Thanks for always giving the group a good laugh and making things fun Big!

I herd of this story a while back when he went missing if I remember correctly. my prayers and thoughts goes to the Anderson family and those who are associated with. I never met the guy but im sure God has a plan for him in the aferworld. He will be in good hands doing work from up above. RIP PRESTON ANDERSON

Preston will be truly missed. He was apart of the Hartnell family and forever will be engraved in our hearts. We miss you every day and will cherish every moment with you.

I have a lot of good memories with preston from college. He will be missed. I will be praying for his family. So sorry for your loss
