Michael Patrick Anderson
Michael Patrick AndersonBasketball-NCAAMichael Patrick Anderson, 56 of Marion and formerly of Prospect, died Wednesday February 1, 2023 in Marion.

He was born September 27, 1966 in Marion to the late Michael P. and Flora Mae (Reaper) Anderson. He was also preceded in death by a sister, Rhonda Anderson and a brother-in-law, Dale Carr.

Mike was a 1984 graduate of the Elgin High School. He excelled in all sports, football, basketball and baseball. Whatever sport he was doing, he was usually one of the best. In later years to keep in touch with sports, he actually became an official. Mike held the scoring record at Elgin in basketball for many years, even without the three-point line.

Mike had worked for Baker Concrete and with Tom Harris in construction.

Mike will be remembered for his stubborn, competitive spirit. Life was not always easy for Mike, but he was helpful to many and was known to have a little bit of fun once in a while.

Surviving are his children, Kain and Kori (Geavonni Ross) Anderson
Special friend, Kim Rauscher
Siblings, Ed (Penny) Roberts, Mark Vaughn, Katie (Mike) Shaffer, Beth (Mike) Lehmann, Barb Carr and Lisa (Dave) Lehman.
Nieces, nephews and many extended family and friends

Private services will be held at a later date.

I had the privilege to have coached with Mike when I began my coaching career. After losing contact for numerous years we reconnected and began officiating basketball and baseball together. He was always a great mentor and person you could count on at the drop of the hat

This is just so sad. I well remember Mike and Katie spending time in Elgin's library. Mike liked to have a bit of fun, but he was never disrespectful to me or any of the student helpers. He was an awesome athlete, adding excitement to Friday night football and flare to the basketball games.  I used to see him occasionally in the grocery with his young kids; he always spoke to me and seemed to be having fun being a dad.  My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Kindest regards,

Paula Everett
