Obituary for
John Rick Anderson
John Rick Anderson passed away on August 16, 2018 at Collier Hospice in Wheat Ridge, Colorado.
John was born in Greeley and moved to Glenwood Springs when he was in elementary school. While living in Glenwood, he quickly developed a love for downhill skiing. John graduated from Glenwood Springs High School and then attended Baylor University, where he played on the university’s Lacrosse team and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in business in 1990. John later moved back to Greeley, where he worked as a property manager for his family and with friends in the building construction industry.
John was known for his playful, sarcastic wit. He loved movies, family and friends, and the Colorado outdoors where he could ski, fish, hike, and camp. John’s winsome personality endeared him to many.
He is survived by his wife, Nichole Anderson of Greeley; daughter Tyler Anderson of Longmont; mother Wanda Anderson of Greeley, and brothers Steve Anderson and his wife Torie of Kersey, and Jeff Anderson and his wife B.J. of Anchorage, Alaska. John is also survived by Nichole’s parents Karen Ochsner and Jim Dillman of Loveland, sisters Mandi and Amy, and brothers Wayne and Jack, as well as multiple nieces and nephews.
A public memorial service will be held on Friday, September 14 at 11:00 a.m. at Mountain View Church in Greeley.
