Kevin Curtis Anderson was born July 25, 1956 to Arvid (Bud) and Bernice (Toop) of Anderson in Cyrus, MN. He attended New Ulm Public School and was active in FFA. He worked at AMPI after high school and various other jobs. He then moved to Decorah, Iowa. He was with a traveling carnival when he met his future wife. They had a daughter and later divorced. From there he went to Polo, Illinois, where he worked for a railroad and other various jobs. This is where he was living at the time of his death with his dog by his side.

Growing up with 7 siblings at home, he would often play football, softball, or any other game being there was a large enough group to have teams. He enjoyed hanging out with his high school friends doing whatever they desired. A little partying took place. He was known through his younger years as “Bronson”. Most did not know his real name.

Kevin liked being outside fishing or hunting or whatever it may be. He was a quiet soul and kept to himself in later years. His remaining family members had not seen him in quite some time but he will always be loved and remembered.

Blessed be his memory.
