Dennis Anderson
Dec. 30, 1957-Sept. 20, 2013
Mountain View, California

Dennis (55) died at home following a two year struggle with cancer. He grew up in Palo Alto and worked for many years in retail motorcycle sales and as a promoter of Supermoto racing.

Dennis liked to go fast and was enthusiastic about extreme sports such as flat track motorcycle racing and jet skiing in ocean waters. He loved photography, bicycling, ice hockey, the beach and telling stories, complete with all the sound effects. He was an optimistic "glass half-full" person, always willing to help his friends and family. He made everyone feel special and made them laugh with his favorite expressions like, "BLAM!"

He is survived by his wife Sue; his parents Maggie and Andy; twin brother Neil; brother Reed; sister Beth; nephews Blake, Alex and Phillip; nieces Jovanne, Stephanie and Erica and his beloved dog Domino.

Thank you to his team at Valley Medical Center, the Cancer Support Group and VITAS Hospice.

A celebration of Dennis' life will be in mid-October.
