Carl Anderson Obituary

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Carl A. Anderson after a long and courageous battle with Parkinson's Disease. He passed peacefully with his wife Fran at his side. Carl was the eldest son of Carl and Mae Anderson. He graduated from Oregon State University in 1965 where he was an ATO and formed lifelong friendships with his fraternity brothers.
Carl served in the Oregon Air National Guard, 123rd Fighter Squadron for 10 years. Known as Capt. Andy, he flew the F-102 and F-101 with the Redhawks! He was adventuresome, opened minded, nonjudgmental, bright and a CAR BUFF!
Carl was a well known commercial real estate broker and founded Commercial Realty Advisors, NW - Portland with his partners in 1996.
We wish to thank the incredible staff in the Immediate Care Facility (ICF) at Maryville Care/The Sisters of St. Mary's of Oregon in Beaverton. Carl was a Christian and found strength in his Faith. RIP Carl.
A private graveside service was held in August in Redmond, Ore. Donations in memory of Carl's life may be made to Parkinson's Resources of Oregon (parkinsonsresources.org) or Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research.

Thanks so much for notifying me of Carl´s passing! I´ve had him in my Prayers since 2/2017 when I found out that he had Parkinson´s . I always felt we had a close connection since we both loved cars. Everything about Carl seemed classy and yes especially his cars!! So glad to hear that he had a relationship with Our Lord!!

He was a great guy who married my coworker Fran. We had many fun get togethers, many including fast cars, collector cars or baseball. Always a gentleman! Carl will be missed.
