$862.00After a long and courageous battle with Parkinson's Disease, Donn Anderson passed away peacefully on May 19th, 2022. Donn was born to Donald and Florence Anderson on December 23rd, 1945. After graduating from high school, he spent three years serving in the US Army. He went on to attend Dunwoody College with a degree in Drafting and Estimating and was an accomplished residential architect for over thirty years.
Donn is survived by his sister Terry (Ted), his three children, Janine, Jessica (Alex), and Jon (Adria), and two grandchildren.
Donn enjoyed spending time outside, and especially loved camping, photography, playing tennis, and carpentry. In 1998 he fulfilled his lifelong dream of living "up north" by purchasing a large wooded property close to St. Croix State Park. He rebuilt the old house on the property into a beautiful home for himself. He loved to use his antique tractor to cut walking trails in his woods.
He will be greatly missed by his family, friends, and all who knew him.
