Brian Joseph Andersen

Remembering Brian Joseph Andersen

May 17, 1961 – September 18, 2026

Brian Joseph Andersen was born on May 17, 1961, in Camden, New Jersey. He was educated in New Jersey and went on to dedicate many years of his life to public service as a police department dispatcher. Through his years of service, Brian played an important role in helping others and remained committed to his work until his retirement.

After retiring, Brian made his home in Lake Wales, Florida, where he enjoyed a slower pace of life and the beauty of the outdoors. He had a genuine love for the water, especially surfing and fishing—two passions that brought him happiness, peace, and many memorable moments throughout his life.

Brian transitioned from this earthly life on Friday, September 18, 2026, peacefully at his home.

He leaves behind a legacy that cannot be measured simply by the years he lived, but by the people he loved, the friendships he cherished, and the lives he touched. Those who knew Brian will carry his memory through the stories they share, the moments they remember, and the love that remains.

Though he has departed this earthly journey, the things that brought Brian joy—the water, the waves, the outdoors, and the people he cared about—will forever be part of the memories he leaves behind.

A memorial service will be held at a later date.

For Brian

You answered the call, you served with care,

and left your kindness everywhere.

Then came the waves, the open sea,

the fishing lines, the moments free.

From Jersey shores to Florida skies,

your memory lives where the ocean lies.

Though you have sailed beyond our view, 

the waves will whisper back to you.

Rest peacefully, Brian, 

and may every tide carry the love you left

to those still by your side.
