OBITUARI ES Damon David Anderberg USK

As he grew up on a farm outside of Cheney, he had many adventures with his “Best Buddies.” Mr. Anderberg was a huge fan of the Seattle Seahawks.

He was proceeded in death by his father, Gary. His family said that because we are surrounded by not only those we are related to, but by those God has put in our lives, a special acknowledgment goes out to Big Joe and Little Joe, Sean, Tyler, Darel, Ryan, George & The Coffee Bunch and to all his Brothers-in-Arms. “We will profoundly miss our beloved Damon. So in his memory treasure and cherish the time spent with your own family and friends. For you never know what time you might have,” his family said.
