Tony Anderson Obituary (1953 - 2026) - Durham, North Carolina

Tony Anderson went to be with the Lord Tuesday July 14 2026 unexpectedly in his home after a brief illness. Tony was born August 25, 1953 in Virginia. He was a wonderful husband and provider to his wife. He retired from American Tobacco Company in Durham. He loved being by the water whether it be the ocean or the lake. He loved to fish, he loved watching all sports, being outdoors and he was a master of all trades. He could fix almost anything. He enjoyed Creflo Dollar Ministries daily. Tony had 2 beagles Molly and Bella that he loved and cared for dearly. Tony is survived by his wife Sheila. His son Brad Anderson, grandson Brayden. Brother Troy Anderson of Eden. Sisters Christine Harry (David) of Clayton and Lorraine Griffith. Tony was preceded in death by his mother Pauline and father David Anderson. Brothers Frank, Junior, and Oscar Anderson. Sisters Emily, Jo Ann, and Geraldine. A special thank you to our niece Stacie Clayton for assisting Sheila with Tony’s caregiving and medical needs. He will be loved and missed everyday. A private celebration of life will be at a later date for family. We will cling to the Word of God until we meet again. Nehemiah 8:10 The joy of the Lord will be our strength.
