Hartley Anderson

The world just lost one of the good guys. Hartley Anderson passed away peacefully in his home on December 29th. His sweetheart and business partner of 55 years is Gaye Laub of Tremonton. They served an LDS mission in Hayward, California and he was a Korean War veteran. He was born in 1930 to Alvin and Mary Anderson in Bear River City.

He had insatiable passions including defending the constitution, spending time with his grandchildren, growing youth through scouting, church service, sharing his home, and building an international business. He and Gaye were the original founders of a series of companies that harvest and sell health products from the Great Salt Lake including Marine Minerals, Trace Minerals Research, and Mineral Resources International. MRI is still family owned and operated.

He is survived by wife, Gaye, children: Corey (Bonnie) Anderson, Clinton; Farley (Helen) Anderson, Paradise; Curtis (Carolyn) Anderson, West Point; Matthew (Chieko) Anderson, West Haven; Bruce (Susan) Anderson, West Haven; Val (Karie) Anderson, No. Ogden; Rhonda Boren, Ogden. He has 30 grandchildren; 7 great-grandchildren and two sisters Audriene Braegger, Willard and Reva Merrill, Preston. He was preceded in death by his parents, grandson Adam, and brothers Nathan and Ellis.

Funeral services will be held Thursday, Jan 3rd at 12 noon at the Westwood LDS Ward Chapel, 2123 N. 2000 W., Farr West, with a viewing from 10:30-11:30 am at the church. Friends may call on Wed. Jan. 2nd from 6-8 pm at Myers Mortuary in Ogden, 845 Washington Blvd.

MRI will close Thursday in his honor.

He will be interred in Bear River City.

Hartley made an incredible difference for his family, employees, people he helped, and thousands of business associates around the world. We already miss his humor and loving, Christian example.
