Micheal Shawn Anderson

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of Micheal Shawn Anderson, affectionately known as “Mike.” 

Mike departed this life on January 20, 2026, in LaBelle, Florida. He was born on December 11, 1971, in Fort Myers, Florida.

Mike was a beloved son, father, brother, and friend who dedicated his life to the well-being of those he loved. He is survived by his parents, Everett  “EJ” Anderson Jr and Terrill Lynn Pregge; his devoted son, Chase Anderson; and his beloved daughter, Mykah Anderson. He is also survived by his life partner and soulmate of 14 years, April Aguilar, along with his three stepdaughters, Nyah, Lainee, and Abbie Aguilar, whom he loved as his own; and his sister, Lynn Music.

Mike was a proud and devoted Papa to Elijah “Eli” Anderson, Saegan Anderson, and Collins Webb, who he adored deeply. He was preceded in death by his beloved brother, Everette “Jay” Anderson III

For many years, Mike owned and operated his own scrap hauling company, a venture he pursued with determination, pride, and passion. A man of many trades, there was little he could not do—or fix. He was well known throughout his community not only for his strong work ethic, but also for his kindness, generosity, and willingness to help anyone in need, a true reflection of his character.

Outside of work, Mike found peace and joy in the outdoors. He had a deep passion for hunting and fishing and he loved passing on and sharing his love of the outdoors to those around him. These moments reflected who he was at his core: patient, grounded, and deeply connected to the simple things in life.

Mike’s heart was as big as his dreams, and he touched countless lives. He was a man’s man who told it like it was—no sugarcoating—and the person you could count on in any situation, big or small. He gave the best advice, always had a story to tell, and showed his love through loyalty, honesty, and action. The impact he had on so many lives is immeasurable, and he will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
