Willie was born on November 6, 1981, in Lubbock, Texas, to Willie Dale Anderson and Jean Rochelle Anderson. He found great joy in life’s simple pleasures- fishing, being on the lake, riding in his boat, barbecuing, riding horses, riding his bike, high-siding, and most of all spending time with his beloved family.
Willie’s world was his wife and children, and he was theirs. Everything he did was for them. Willie always stood on business and, most importantly, on family business. He was truly a phenomenal man, rare in form and spirit—one of the realest to ever do it. To Know him was to love him. He was a true reflection of God’s greatest Blessing with his unconditional love for everyone who had the privilege to be blessed with his presence. Willie graduated in 2001 from Garland High School. He also received his CDL certificate from ATD’s Truck Driving School. Willie honored working for Frack Tank Rentals for many years.
