Coach Charley Anderson was a devoted father, a beloved coach, and a man who left a lasting impact on many lives.
He was the proud father of Dan and Brad, and those who knew him often spoke about how deeply he cared for his family.
To his children, he was not only a coach admired by many but an even better father who supported, guided, and loved them unconditionally.
Charley was best known for his work as a wrestling coach and mentor, where he influenced countless athletes over many years.
People remember him as patient, kind, and encouraging, someone who believed in his athletes and helped shape them both on and off the mat.
Beyond coaching, he also touched lives as a driver’s education teacher, where his calm and gentle personality stood out.
One former student fondly recalled how he would read the newspaper while they drove, simply telling them, “Go where you want to go,” a memory that perfectly captured his trusting and easygoing nature.
His passing has deeply affected not only his family but an entire community.
Friends, former athletes, neighbors, and students have shared heartfelt messages describing Charley as a “sweetheart,” a mentor, and a positive force in their lives.
Many spoke of how he coached wrestling, taught them to drive, babysat them, or was simply a family friend.
Dan Anderson was the first to share the news publicly, posting that his father had passed away that morning.
At this time, the Anderson family has not yet shared details about a celebration of life or memorial services.
They are expected to share that information when they are ready.
Our heartfelt condolences go out to Dan, Debbie, Brad, and the entire Anderson family during this difficult time.
Rest In Peace, Coach.
