Daniel Dean Anderson was born on July 3, 1951, in Saint Paul, Minnesota, to Dean K. and LaMae M. (Shelley) Anderson. Dan grew up in Grand Rapids and graduated from Grand Rapids High School in 1969. He served in the U.S. Navy and then completed his education at Dunwoody Institute in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Dan married Jean Elizabeth Acheson on July 15, 1983. He owned and operated Vanity Cleaners for many years. Dan can be remembered for his love of the outdoors and enjoyed hunting, fishing, and snowmobiling with family and friends.
