Morris Anderson Obituary (1932 - 2022)

Morris Evan Anderson passed away peacefully Tuesday, June 7, 2022. He was born May 14, 1932 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Dan and Myrtle Anderson. Morris graduated from Granite High School in 1950. He married the love of his life, Marlene Heugly, on August 15, 1951. Together they welcomed two sons, Scott and Brent. Morris was a hard worker, a trait he passed on to his sons and grandchildren. He built many of his homes and always made sure they had perfectly maintained yards. He and his business partner, Robert Clawson, started Superior Roofing in 1954 and built it into one of the largest, most respected roofing companies in the Western United States. Morris had high expectations of his family and employees and that paid off when he was able to retire at a young age. Together, with his sons, Morris developed over 500,000 square feet of commercial warehouses. Morris loved to dance and travel the world with Marlene. Golf was also a large part of Morris’ life. He was a member of Cottonwood Country Club and Hidden Valley Country Club in Utah and Ahwatukee Country Club in Arizona. Morris enjoyed fishing and spent time at Flaming Gorge until his stroke in 2015. Speech was taken away from Morris, but he was still able to communicate. His smile would light up a room and nothing made him happier than Marlene and his great-grandchildren. Morris showed strength and determination throughout his entire life. He has left a legacy, which his family is honored to carry on. Morris is preceded in death by his parents, Dan and Myrtle Anderson and brother, Russell Anderson. He is survived by his wife, Marlene Heugly Anderson. His two sons: Scott Anderson (Julie) and Brent Anderson. His grandchildren: Tony Anderson (Kaitlin), Tyler Anderson (Jessie), Courtney Anderson (Chelsi), Alexander Anderson (Shandy Van Orden), and Ashlie Crowder (Aaron). His great-grandchildren: Emmy, William, Beya, Ryder, and Beau. Private Interment - Elysian Burial Gardens at the convenience of the family.
