John Anderson Obituary
John is also survived by his daughter Brianna Seaback and her husband Jarred, and his son Jack Anderson. He was the adoring Papa to Julian, Colin, and Chloe Seaback. He was the brother of Lisa LeBlanc and her husband John, and Kristen Richardson and her late husband Scott. John also leaves behind many in-laws, nieces, and nephews. He was blessed to know so many wonderful people and while it is impossible to name everyone, please know that each of you was deeply loved and appreciated.
John was raised in East Hartford, CT and attended Bryant College in Smithfield, RI where he met Marybeth. After graduating he decided to put down roots in Rhode Island and has lived in the Warwick area for the past 40 years. John spent most of his career in the restaurant industry where he was a District Manager for Ponderosa Steakhouses, and later made a career change to Real Estate. Most recently he was a Commercial Property Inspector for Strategic Asset Services.
John had a zest for life and many interests, hobbies, and activities that he was passionate about. Whether he was on the boat, his motorcycle, or walking his dog Alice in the neighborhood, anyone he crossed paths with will remember his kind, compassionate, and outgoing personality. He enjoyed spending time with family at his condo in Dunedin, Florida and many vacations and boating adventures with friends. He was an active member at St. Gregory the Great since moving to Cowesett. His greatest and most enjoyable role by far was taking care of his grandchildren and bringing them on new and exciting adventures.
Family and friends are invited to a Mass of Christian Burial at 11am on Saturday April 5, 2025, at St. Gregory the Great Church, 360 Cowesett Road, Warwick, followed by committal prayers at Glenwood Cemetery, East Greenwich. Visitation will be held on Friday April 4, 2025, from 4 - 7pm at the Carpenter Jenks Funeral Home, 659 East Greenwich Avenue, West Warwick. Please visit www.carpenterjenks.com for online condolences. In lieu of flowers, donations in John's name may be made to The Tomorrow Fund. https://donorbox.org/the-tomorrow-fund
