Zed Anderson

– Our sweetheart, dad, and grandpa, Zed Anderson, returned home peacefully to his Heavenly Father surrounded by his family on Tuesday morning, February 10, 2009. Zed fought a courageous battle against Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and defeated the disease 10 years ago. After the disease returned in the fall of 2007, he underwent a bone marrow transplant in November of 2008. He fought through many setbacks and challenges, but the effects of the disease eventually took his life. Zed was born to Byron H. and Dixie Anderson in Afton, Wyoming, on August 30, 1958. He graduated from Star Valley High School in 1976 and attended USU and WSU in Industrial Technology. On May 26, 1978, Zed married his sweetheart, Lannis Jackson, in Freedom, Wyoming, and they were later sealed as a family in the Logan LDS Temple. He was a faithful member of the LDS Church Hooper Fremont Ward, where he was serving as Financial Clerk. From the time Zed was a small boy, he had a deep passion for cars. He became a professor of Collision Repair at Weber State and later worked for General Motors as a Service Technology Group Instructor. Zed loved to teach and share his love and passion for cars with anyone interested in learning. He was later self employed, specializing in collision repair and classic auto restoration. He loved to spend time working in his shop with his sons. Zed loved to spend time outdoors with his family camping and dutch oven cooking. He spent many years sharing his life and love of the outdoors with the Boy Scouts of America. He was a great example of courage, strength, love, and faith to those around him and left an impression on all he met. He will remain in our hearts forever. Zed is survived by his devoted wife, Lannis; two sons, Kory (Kristie) Anderson, West Haven, and Brady Anderson, Hooper; three daughters, Kristy (Jason) Mayes, Ogden; Melissa (Jerry) Rasmussen, Sheridan, WY; and Chelsi Anderson, Hooper; two grandsons, Parker Anderson and Boston Mayes; a brother, Ron, and three sisters, Lark, Fawn, and Dea. He was preceded in death by his parents and a brother, Bing. Funeral services will be held Monday, February 16, at 11:00 a.m. at the Hooper Freemont Ward Chapel, 4675 West 5500 South.
