Steven Kent Anderson

Our beloved husband, father, uncle, brother, grandfather and great-grandfather Steven Kent Anderson passed away on Saturday, July 13, 2024, after a brief battle with pancreatic cancer. Steven was born on March 9, 1944, to unknown parents and adopted by two loving people, Lewis James and Dorothy Maxine Hill Anderson. They later gave life to his only sister Trudy B. Anderson Helton. Steven attended Ogden City Schools and graduated from Ogden High in 1962.

Steven was a car enthusiast and learned to be a mechanic. Steve joined the Army and was an aircraft mechanic in Vietnam from 1962 to 1966. Upon returning from service Steven returned to vehicle repair and worked for several shops, finding his rightful place working at Automatic Transmission Center. It was during this time that his mother introduced him to the love of his life, Linda Jean Lanham. The pair said their vows on July 28, 1972, and from that day on never looked back.

On August 17, 1976, the happy couple said hello to their daughter Monnica Lynn Anderson Stott. On April 7, 1980, their joy doubled with the blessing of their son Travis James Anderson.

He then went to work as an aircraft mechanic at Hill Air Force Base and found his true calling. Steven worked on fighter jets from the F4 up to the F16, enjoying his lunch break playing cards with his friends there. He eventually was chosen to work on the F18 contract and had the honor of signing the banner that now hangs in the museum.

Steven was affectionately known as "Andy" by his colleagues and was moved to flight test and felt like a kid again. After 32 years of working there, Steven decided to retire. At home now and not much to do, he decided to spoil Linda and start filling her wish list. They went for a second honeymoon in Moab, UT, and spent every minute of the day telling her she was loved. It was his turn to be spoiled when they shared their Golden Anniversary and drove to Colorado to ride the Silverton train.

Steven was given the surprise of his life and was blessed with his best friend and grandson Joshua in 2002.

He had room in his heart for a lot of interests, fishing, camping, hiking, and held a bit left for poetry. His favorite poet he shared with Monnica was Edgar Allen Poe.

Steven is survived by his wife, Linda; daughter, Monnica (Jeffrey Jr) Stott; son, Travis (Janet) Anderson; grandchildren, Breonah, Cody, Joshua, Michael; one great-grandson Travis; sister, Trudy; sister-in-law, Brenda Lanham; nieces, Angela, Megan (Daniel) Price, and Robyn; and nephews, Kevin and TJ as well as their children. He also had children he adopted by heart, Blake, Stacey, Tessa, and Whitney. Steven was preceded in death by his parents, mother-in-law, Deloris Bigelow Lanham; father-in-law, Robert Louis Lanham; and brother-in-law, Larry Monroe Helton.

Funeral services will be held on Friday, July 19, 2024, at 11 a.m. at Lindquist’s Ogden Mortuary, 3408 Washington Blvd. Friends may visit with family on Friday from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. at the mortuary. Interment, West Weber Cemetery.
