Mr. Anderson, 83, of Preston, MS passed away on Thursday, March 19, 2026.

Kent was a jack of all trades from as early age and could fix or build almost anything. He built his own house by himself that contains some beautiful cedar work. He retired from the MS ANG after 27 years, where he was known as “Dynamite” by his co-workers. Kent spent his last years enjoying living in the quiet country and puttering around with many projects. He was always ready and willing to help anyone in need as long as he was able.

Survivors include his son, Todd Anderson; daughter, Heather Savall; step-son, Gary Sanderford; grandchildren, Haley Kitchings, Brooklyn Anderson, Dustin Anderson, Trey Savall and Stuart Sanderford; sister, Glenda Sue Jackson; and a host of nieces and nephews and their families.

Mr. Anderson was preceded in death by his wife, Barbara Sanderford Anderson; parents, HG and Agnes Anderson; step-sons, Larry and Chad Sandford.

Pallbearers: Greg Riley, Chris Lafferty, Stuart Sanderford, Jena Riley, LaNae Jackson and Shana Lafferty.
