Wayne Edward Anderson was born October 8, 1958, to Roger and Rose (Bombeck) Anderson in Brookings, SD. He grew up in Stickney, SD, and graduated from there in 1976. He then attended Mitchell Tech for plumbing and pipe fitting.

Wayne married Charleen Uhing in 1980. He then moved to Wyoming, where all five of his children were born. The family relocated to Clarinda, IA for work. After 12 years of marriage, he moved to Stickney with his three oldest children and started his plumbing business. Later in his career, he joined the local 300 plumbers and pipefitters. Wayne grew a strong fellowship with his Union brothers.

Wayne enjoyed bowling, swimming, stock car races, and all sports. His favorite hobby was fishing and camping with family. He loved watching his gameshows and western movies. Most of all, Wayne cherished spending time with his kids, grandkids, and great-grandson. Wayne was one of a kind and was always thinking of others. Wayne was looking forward to sharing more memories in his retired years. Wayne was a man of many nicknames, Virgil Ward, Igar Anderson, but most importantly, Dad and Grandpa. We love you, always and forever.

Wayne is survived by his sons, Jason Anderson and Mark (Ariel) Anderson all of Mitchell, SD; daughters, Lisa Anderson of Mitchell, SD, Vicki Anderson of Waconia, MN, and Kayla Anderson of Yankton, SD; 15 grandchildren and one great-grandson; and brothers, Gordon Anderson of Stickney, SD and Darrell “Red” (Joyce) Anderson of Watertown, SD.
