Clifford Anderson

Clifford Frank Anderson, passed away January 24, 2024 with his wife at his side. He was born in Oakland, California to his parents Frank Anderson and Opal (Garrett) Anderson.

Clifford graduated from Sunset High School in California in 1964. He attended Bethany Bible School in Santa Cruz, California after he went to his lifetime career as a professional driver, also leading souls to Christ wherever he got a chance.

In 1966 he went with a group of youth to North and South America to do mission work. He delivered newspapers in the morning before he went to school thinking that he would get a chance to talk to people about Jesus. He truly had a burden for the lost world.

He then came to Columbus and attended World Harvest Church, visiting nursing homes and assisted living, people that are sick at home to get them ready in accepting Jesus as their personal Savior. He also visited prisons and homeless people bringing them to church to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ.

In 2012 to 2017, he and his wife visited the South Pacific Fiji Island to do their mission work doing crusades, revivals in different villages. A lot of people were saved and born again. He was truly loved by all the people with his patience, funny jokes, encouraging them not to give up, and to continue the work God had called them to do, by continuing to trust Him everyday.

He is survived by his loving wife Ekari Anderson, sister Christine Radbaugh, son Paul Anderson, daughter Michelle Gutirazze and granddaughter Annalasia, and cousins, Judy & Brett Brandt.

He was raised in church all his life. He took the Fijian choir and they visited thirty-seven churches in America raising funds to build the church in the island of Fiji. He was in trouble from his parents when he resigned from his full time job. He told his parents that is what God called him to do. Now they have a most beautiful double story building in the Fiji Islands because of his obedience. He is truly missed by the Fijian people and friends in the USA.

Visitation will be Saturday, February 3, 2024 from 11am until the time of service at 12pm at Newcomer NE Chapel 3047 E. Dublin Granville Rd. with Elder McKee officiating.

The family would like to thank all of the Northland Senior Village for their support, World Harvest Church, Chip and Families, Bella Care Hospice, Eileen and Gene, Bobby Frederick, Newcomer and Staff and all of our friends.
