Stanly Marshall Anderson

It with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of one of the most amazing men on the planet. We imagine he is rocking out with Ozzy. Stanly Marshall Anderson “Bird” left this world on July 21, 2025, at 2:02PM.

Stanly was born and raised in Rosepine, LA and moved all over the place. He was born January 19, 1972, to be an all-American wild child with a heart as big as the sunrise in the Louisiana sky, he was filled with the most amazing sense of humor and gift of sarcasm.

Fighting stage 4 Adenocarcinoma, he was a warrior to the end and did all he could to stay with his family, Lori, Destiney and Mary Anderson. He even chose to donate his body for cancer research to help find answers to prevent this from happening to his children in the future. He was always going above and beyond for those he loved. He lived his life to the fullest, loving and being the best husband, father, brother and friend to anyone he trusted.

Stanly was the real deal and the complete package, he had the most amazing personality. He healed Lori’s broken heart and made her be able to love again. To say he will be missed is an understatement.

He never met a stranger. He was quick witted, sharp with a comeback, loved a good joke. You either loved him or hated him and he was fine with whatever you choose. He was the center of his family’s world and spent every single day doing all he could for the people in his world. His family believed in see a need, fill a need.

Stanly’s favorite pastime was family and trucking. His passion was finding new adventures with his family, including car shows, festivals, parks, hunting, cook outs, being a professional breakfast chef, watching movies, he loved visiting Hodges Gardens, any kind of event, Lost Frontier, monster truck shows, fairs and wrestling. He was always helping friends in need, he believed in keeping his word and was blunt direct and to the point. He believed in trucker philosophy. He was the ultimate trucker and having that being said, it was literally his truck driving family, his daughter and his wife, that was his entire word. He was a teamwork makes the dream work kind of man. Sometimes the truck came before family, that’s no joke, they had him for 16 to 18 hours a day. We were thankful for every minute we got with him. One of the last statements Lori said to him was keep the highways to Heaven open and that’s what he is doing. All the greats of the Gen X world are following his path. He was the love of Lori’s life.

Until we meet again my love, I loved you most, your wife and children.

He is survived by his loving wife of twenty-four years, Lori Ann Anderson of Leesville, LA; daughters, Destiney Marie Anderson and Mary Elizabeth Anderson, both of Leesville, LA and one daughter that he didn’t want mentioned because she broke his heart; his brothers from the trucking world, Tommy “Porky Pine” and Tosha Fowler, Chris “Stock” and Amanda Clark, David and Rebecca Boykin, James Thompson, Weston “Woody” and Nicole Decker, Shannon “Short Circuit” and Shelly Lytle, Justin Kendall Lopez “ Problem Child”, Reginald Jackson “Reggie”, Larry “Lil Man” and Rose Lockhart, Mark and Jessica Stephens, Michael “Cornbread” and Chasity Burlison, James “Twinkle Toes” and Cindy Brister, Russell Frank Parker “Hollywood” , Donald “Doughboy” and Kara Powers; favorite sister, Shanna and Merida Shirley, Vicky Brister and Davy Goodeaux; sons by choice, Devan Aden, Glendon Louis Simmons “Cooter”; Stanly’s saving grace, Aunt Kathy and Uncle C.
