Bradley Lyle Anderson

Bradley Lyle Anderson, 68, of Finland, MN passed away on December 15, 2024.

He married Susan Piron on April 15, 1989 in Aurora, IL. They moved back to his hometown of Finland, MN in March of 1990 and together raised their two daughters, Sarah and Jenna.

Brad appreciated the outdoors, he worked hard at his business of 34 years, Anderson Land Development. He was known to play just as hard, enjoying snowmobiling, 4-wheeling, fishing, and camping.

Brad was proud to be from Finland, it was his playground, and he was an integral part of his community. Over the years he shared his time and equipment to many local organizations, businesses, and neighbors. He didn’t fool us with his tough exterior, he had a huge heart and he treasured “his people”. He has left us with many great memories and stories.

He was preceded in death by his father, William Anderson; nephew, Travis Vargas; sister-in-law, Jeanne Piron; and brother-in-law, Dave Balough.

Brad will be greatly missed by his wife, Susan; daughters Sarah (Derek) Gagner and Jenna Anderson; mother, Joan Anderson; brother Doug (Pat) Anderson; sister, Teresa (Dan) Anderson; and grandson, Boden Gagner.

Brad will surely be missed by his family, friends, and community.

The family will be holding a Celebration of Life on Sunday, May 4, 2025 at 11:30 AM at the Clair Nelson Community Center in Finland.
