Anderson, Mickey Lee View/Sign Guest Book LAKE ANN — Mickey Lee Anderson, 27, of Lake Ann, went home to be with his Heavenly Father on Aug. 1, 2006. Mickey was born in Portland, Maine, on Sept. 21, 1978, the son of Joel Anderson and Susan (Stebbins) Smith. He proudly served his country in the United States Army for seven and a half years, and was a highly decorated war veteran. Mickey served overseas twice, and on his most recent assignment to Iraq, survived direct gunfire and was ultimately the recipient of the Military Order of the Purple Heart. Mickey savored life to the fullest. He enjoyed spending time with his family and friends, working on various projects around his home, the outdoors, movies, and making those around him laugh. He had an adventurous and spontaneous spirit and his smile, sense of humor and friendship will be terribly missed. His family and friends, however, take great comfort in Mickey's relationship with Jesus Christ, and look forward to seeing him again in Glory. There is no doubt that he is working on some project or another in his Father's Kingdom all the while making those in Glory with him laugh with his antics. Mickey is survived by his wife, Katie Rene' (Brosier), whose love overflows for him and who will miss him more dearly than words can express; and three sons, James, Micah and Owen, who loved to wrestle with their daddy and help him with his projects. He also is survived by his father, Joel Anderson; mother, Susan (Stebbins) Smith and stepfather, Doug Smith (East Hartford, Conn.); brother, Victor and family (Bucksport, Maine); sister, Heather Anderson; grandmother, Dorothy Stebbins (East Hartford, Conn.), (preceded in death by his grandfather, James Stebbins); grandparents, Milton and Flora Anderson (Monson, Maine); father- and mother-in-law, Richard and Sandra Brosier; his special battle buddy, brother-in-law, and best friend, Shane (Wendy) Brosier; sister-in-law, Kelli Brosier (Cliff) Reppart; sisters-in-law, Holly Brosier and Emily Brosier; and countless aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Memorial Fund for the Anderson boys at any Honor State Bank location. Checks may be made payable to Katie Anderson. Visitation will take place this evening, Aug. 4, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Reynolds- Jonkhoff Funeral Home in Traverse City.
