VINCENT KIRK ANDERSON
Vincent Kirk Anderson was born August 24, 1960 in Harrisonville, Missouri and departed this life on October 11, 2024 at Delmar Gardens of Lenexa in Lenexa, Kansas, at the age of 64 years, 1 month and 17 days.

Vincent worked as a millwright for most of his life, working several places including Stahl’s Specialty Company in Kingsville, Missouri.
