The Obituary
Glen Clark Anderson, age 79, went to be with his Lord Jesus on June 23rd, 2024, in Medford, Oregon.  Glen was born in Glendale, California on November 26, 1944, the son of O. Kenneth and Rhoda Anderson.  Glen's family on his father's side had come to California and Oregon in the "Preacher's Wagon Train," in 1853 and settled in the Applegate area and Jacksonville.  Glen always enjoyed time spent in the area with cousins, aunts and uncles.

Glen spent his younger years in Louisville, Kentucky where his father was posted with the Weather Bureau.  During that time Glen was involved with the Boy Scouts, attaining the rank of Eagle Scout.  Glen attended Colorado State University and went on  to teach history in Cheyenne, Wyoming and Richland, Washington where his son Kenneth was born to him and his wife Diane.

Glen went on to earn his law degree and served as a law clerk for Alaska Supreme Court Justice Robert Erwin, who became a very important friend.  Geln held positions in both the Alaska Attorney General's office as well as becoming a District Attorney specializing in White Collar Crime.  Glen was then appointed to the District Court Bench where he gained a reputation as a very kind and caring Judge who listened respectfully to people in his court.

Glen and Yvonne were married in 1983 and his appointment to the Superior Court Bench sent them to Valdez, Alaska in 1991.  Upon his retirement in 1995, Glen and Yvonne moved to Medford and spent the ensuing years in travel and spending time with family.  Glen and Yvonne were both faithful members of St. Peter Lutheran Church in Medford.  Glen is survived by his wife Yvonne and son Kenneth, grandchildren Josie and Trevor; several great-grandchildren and his stepson Todd and wife Charity.  Glen was preceded in death by his parents O. Kenneth and Rhoda Anderson, and a brother Kenneth.

Glen was  a wonderful friend through our years at Lyndon and Waggener.  

It was so wonderful to be able to spend time with Glen and Yvonne at the reunions.  

He certainly will be missed.

I am very sorry to hear of the death of Glen. A good fellow. I knew him at Waggener. But I believe that he picked up the motorcycle after WHS graduation. smiley

I am so sorry to hear of Glen's passing. What a lovely tribute from his wife. Glen obvioiusly grew from a young man of integrity to a man who was a wonderful blessing to his family. May they find comfort in the days ahead in joyful memories of a good husband, father, and grandfather.
