Mark Anthony Anderson, a devoted husband, father, son, and brother, ascended to the heavenly realms on November 29, 2024, following a heart attack. Born with the essence of July 13, 1970, in Morton, Mississippi, Mark was the beloved son of Shirley Williams and Melvin Anderson. Growing up in Midland, TX, his passion for driving emerged, leading him to meet his soulmate Veronica in 2012, culminating in their marriage on February 14, 2018. Mark took immense pride in his son and step-children, celebrating their achievements with unabashed joy.

Known for his vibrant persona, memorable blue eyes, and quick wit, Mark created lasting bonds with countless individuals who held him dear. As a dedicated family man and an ardent sports enthusiast, he found joy in supporting teams like the New York Jets, Alabama Crimson Tide, Boston Red Sox, and St. Louis Cardinals. His zest for life extended to traveling nationwide with his beloved wife Veronica.

Mark leaves an indelible imprint on those fortunate to have known him. He was a guiding light, a pillar of strength, and a beacon of laughter to his family and friends. His profound impact on all who crossed his path will be forever cherished.

He is survived by his adoring wife Veronica Anderson, his mother Shirley Williams, his son Tyler Anderson, step-children Valerie and Marcus Curnutte and Vita Kieffer, his siblings Butch and Timothy Anderson, Joe Williams, Mo and Luis Saucedo, and Lela Dawkins, his nieces, nephews, and great nieces and nephews, and his cherished feline companion, Meeko.

Mark was preceded in death by his step-father Leland Williams and grandchild Javier Mendez III.
