James Anderson, our beloved son and brother, went home to be with Jesus on Saturday, January 24th after battling heart failure. He was 64 years old. He brought us all much joy with his 10-year-old sense of humor and amazing memory for all kinds of TV trivia and family events. James had Parader-Willi syndrome and was blessed by many in the special needs community. He loved summer camp, bowling and all kinds of TV drama and comedy like I Love Lucy and A Christmas Story. We are thankful that he lived longer than expected and the Lord took him peacefully home with the care of Pikes Peak Hospice. He will be greatly missed by his mother Gwen Anderson, brother John, and sister and brother in law Floyd and Lynne Sebald, but we look forward to our reunion in the Lord Jesus Christ.
