David Anderson, 65, of Ely, our dear friend and neighbor, passed quietly in his sleep on Monday, Oct. 26, 2026, a beautiful fall day. If he could leave us with a few final words, perhaps they would be these: “Be compassionate. Care for others. Be the best human being you can be, and everything else will fall into place.”
A devoted father and loyal friend, Dave is survived by his daughter, Esther; brother, Brian; and former wife, Susan. He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered.
