Nickolaus Ryan Anderson Obituary (1994

Nickolaus Ryan Anderson, 26 years old, of Silverdale, Washington, passed away suddenly on Saturday April 18th. Nickolaus, otherwise known as Nick, was kind, generous and loving. He excelled at culinary and enjoyed preparing meals for friends and family. Nick was very social and was often surrounded by friends or with his brothers. He was an athlete. He participated in the Central Kitsap Ski School trips. As an adult, he became an avid snowboarder and enjoyed exploring our lovely Washington Ski resorts. As a youth, he played little league baseball for North Kitsap and Babe Ruth for Central Kitsap. Nick also belonged to Boy Scout Troop #555. When he was twelve, he prepared and trained for a four-day hike to Olympic National Park Glacier, which he would have described as nothing less than epic. Nick also enjoyed kids and being a youth mentor and coach. During his high school years, he was gainfully employed by the YMCA's Youth Center. Nick was loved by his family. They vacationed together often. Favorite family getaways included: Disneyland, Walt Disney World, Virginia's Children's Museum and Busch Gardens. He also enjoyed camping with his family at Dosewallips State Park, Ocean Shores and Seaside Oregon; where they would play mini-golf, ride bikes and play favorite games at the local arcades. Nickolaus is survived by his parents Hollie Anderson, Richard Anderson and stepmother Mary Anderson; grandmother, Gloria Tyler; brothers Erik Anderson, Sean Anderson and Robert Kleinhans; and his loving companion and dog, Tiva. Nick is preceded in death by his grandfather John Tyler, Uncle Travis Tyler; and his grandparents Raedean Walker, John Walker, and James Anderson. In lieu of flowers, to honor his love of dogs, donations made in Nick's name to the Kitsap Humane Society would be greatly appreciated.
