The Texas Senate has passed a resolution honoring the life and legacy of Roy Vincent Anderson, who passed away on April 20, 2025, at the age of 96. Born on October 22, 1928, in Patmos, Arkansas, Anderson was a devoted husband to his late wife, Ruth, and a proud father to his children, Mitch, Bruce, Cindy, and the late Avis Annette Anderson Nix. He enjoyed a fulfilling career as a route delivery driver for Holsum Bread and cherished his time spent with family, gardening, fishing, and playing the harmonica. A man of strong faith, he was an active member of Buchanan First Baptist Church.
The resolution expresses deep sympathy to Anderson's family, including his sons, daughter, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and many friends. It acknowledges the profound impact he had on those who knew him and emphasizes the legacy he leaves behind. The Senate has resolved to prepare an official copy of the resolution for his family and to adjourn in his memory.
