Brent Clayton Anderson
July 20, 1949 - Sept 19, 2014
Brent Clayton Anderson began a new journey from the comfort of his home in Salt Lake City, Utah, following a courageous battle with heart disease.
It is difficult to imagine our lives without Brent Clayton Anderson's physical presence. The world became a better place on July 20, 1949, when he was born to Clayton Francis and Lucille Ungricht Anderson in Salt Lake City. He was the couple's first-born son. Brent has always been known for being true to himself, keeping his word, and sharing wisdom from an age gone by with others. He also showed great kindness and possessed a loving approach to all people and circumstances. Perhaps you are among the many people who have had the good fortune of being blessed by his goodness, virtue, and many gifts.
Brent's soul, now released from the limitations of mortal frailties and infirmities, expands into the blissful freedom of love divine.
"Blessed!" was Brent's response when asked to describe his life. He was enriched with loving parents and friends. Brent loved the beauty, beyond the ability of words to describe, of experiences both seen and felt while hiking the Uinta/Wasatch Mountains, deserts of the southwest, and during his world travels. He thrived on camping, fishing, prospecting, singing, dancing, listening to music, traveling, a little gambling, the metaphysical and developing bonds with people and animals. One of Brent's talents was his ability to excite the imagination, as he would paint a picture upon the canvas of your mind with expressive and vivid meaning through his stories. During Brent's lifetime he traveled for many years outside of the United States, and he was fortunate to find joy and great value in the rich experiences of the more than 32 countries visited.
Brent LOVED life fully and enjoyed helping others and inspiring their lives. He both knew, and loved God. He was blessed and received love from people in every aspect of life and around the world. Brent served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to the French-speaking France Switzerland Mission. He was a graduate of Bingham High School. He attended Utah State University and was a graduate of the Utah College of Massage Therapy. Brent was a student of Yogic Philosophy and had a strong belief in giving back to society by providing many hours of volunteer service. His community service included working with troubled teens and the terminally ill. He was generous in his giving to philanthropic charities and worthwhile causes.
Brent worked with his family's excavation business and following graduation from massage therapy, he enjoyed a rewarding career as a Massage and Physical Therapist dealing with athletes, elderly, pre-natal mothers, infants, and the general public.
Among Brent's papers was found the following note he had written: "THANKS to God for a wonderful and exciting life filled with love, adventure, friends, and joy! Thank you world for all the love you gave me. I am looking forward to the future, reunions, and what's to come. I look forward to seeing you on the other side."
Brent is survived by his sister Jeanne Anderson Dehlin (Patrick-deceased), brother Brian James Anderson (Laila), and numerous nieces and nephews. They knew him as the "Silver Dollar Uncle" as he always passed out Silver Dollars to them every Christmas. His nieces and nephews love him. He also leaves behind dear friends in Salt Lake City and Palm Springs, California. Brent was preceded in death by his parents.
At Brent's direction, he will be cremated and his ashes will be spread at some of his favorite locations. He also asked that a "celebration of life" not be held. Rather, Brent has asked others to take a quiet moment and reflect on the joy of their lives today, regardless of the circumstances, and enjoy the good memories of moments shared together. If so inclined, kindly make a donation to
a favorite charity
in memory of this kind and good man.
We express sincere appreciation and heartfelt gratitude to the staff of Canyon Home Health Care for their support and tender care during our time of need. Special thanks to Kim and Kolby.
