Anthony James Otterblad went to be with his Savior Jesus Christ on August 11th 2013 at 2:00 p.m. after a long battle with ALS. He was born on June 13th 1952 in Rochester, MN. Anthony was a graduate of Stillwater High School in Stillwater MN. He proudly served in the United States Navy for over 6 years, primarily aboard the nuclear submarine the USS Nautilus.
Anthony is preceded in death by his mother Marie Ellen Otterblad and his father Robert Leonard Otterblad.
He is survived by his sisters Roberta Duckworth and Eleanor Wilhite, two nieces, Trisha Neuman and Faith Duckworth and four nephews, Timothy Stivender,Wyman, Michael and Robert Wilhite.
Anthony was a long time resident of Pasadena Texas. He was a loving brother and uncle who placed family first, a friend who would give all when called upon and a patriot with an undying love for his country. An honorable man in less than honorable times, a rare combination you could say. He was not fashionable with his views… just honest. You will be missed.
Visitation will be Thursday, August 15, 2013 from 5PM to 8PM at Grand View Funeral Home. Graveside Services will be Friday, August 16, 2013 at 10:30AM at the Houston National Cemetery at 10410 Veterans Memorial Drive in Houston 77038.
