Robert D. "Bob" Anderson, Jr., 62, of Hermitage, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Saturday afternoon, August 17, 2024.

Bob was born on November 2, 1961, in Camden, NJ, a son of the late Robert and Barbara Ann (Ehrhart) Anderson, Sr. He was a lifelong Shenango Valley resident and was raised in Sharon, PA and attended Sharon Schools.

A Journeyman Roofer, he worked for many construction companies, spending the majority of his time doing commercial roofing.

An outgoing person, Bob never met a stranger and was always the life of the party. A lover of music and frequent concert goer, Bob enjoyed all music, particularly the Grateful Dead and The Allman Brothers Band.

He loved the outdoors, hiking, camping, fishing, visiting the ocean and basking in the sun.

He is survived by his wife, Nicole Kilpatrick, whom he married on January 22, 2024; two daughters, Grace Anderson Conroy and her husband Wesley Conroy, Pittsburgh, PA, and Ellen Mechling and her husband Derek, Mars, PA; a son, Zac Anderson and his wife Chloe, Pittsboro, NC; two step-children, Amanda Wagner and her husband Clyde, Mercer, and Keegan Wise, Slippery Rock; and seven grandchildren, Theodore and Hunter Mechling, Beau and Sophie Anderson, and Jazmine, J.J. and Liam James Wagner. Also surviving are two sisters, Cindy Leyde, and Tammy Kitch and her husband Joel, all of Sharon; and a brother, Scott Anderson and his wife Emma, Sanford, NC.
