With immense gratitude we thank God for the life of John Charles Anders, R. Ph. More importantly, we thank Him for the everlasting life that is now at hand for John. By His goodness and grace, John was able to defeat pancreatic cancer on March 22, 2026, and entered Heaven where his faith is now sight.
John was born October 5, 1947, in Schulenburg, Texas to Charles J. and Leona A. Anders. John graduated from Weimar High School in 1966. He then attended Texas A&M University where he was recruited by Coach Gene Stallings to play football for the Aggies. He played there in 1967 and 1968, with his favorite memory being when Mo Moorman hit him so hard in a shotgun alley drill that it split his helmet off his head, leaving a headache that lasted for weeks and a special memory that lasted a lifetime. He later transferred to the University of Southern Louisiana where he played football as a Rajun Cajun for two seasons. After his college football career ended, he enrolled in the College of Pharmacy at The University of Houston where he received his Bachelor of Science degree in May of 1972.
