It is with great sorrow and sadness that I report the passing of Harry Tucker Anderson, age 23, of Round Rock, Texas, on Wednesday, June 11th. He was born on August 8th, 1990 in Ft. Myers, Florida. Harry’s stepfather, John Stadtmiller, and his lovely mother, Sandra, are friends of mine. The Stadtmillers own the network where I broadcast my weekly show.
This is a case of bad things happening to good people. I know the Stadtmillers to be kind to a fault and this is why they have the devotion of both staff and broadcasters at RBN. We are family at the Republic Broadcasting Network and we are all in a lot of pain right now. My heart aches beyond description for the Stadtmillers as they attempt to cope with this horrible tragedy. I ask that all of you keep the family in your prayers as well pray for the soul of Harry. Despite the loss, we can take comfort knowing that one day Harry will be reunited with those who loved him in a blissful afterlife.
Harry attended Round Rock Christian Academy, and then graduated from McNeil High School in 2009, where he enjoyed theatrical work and appeared in many plays. He later attended Austin Community College in Round Rock and UT Arlington, TX.
Harry was a unique blend of intelligence, humor and good looks. With an eye for fashion, he excelled in sales and marketing while working at Brooks Brothers clothiers. Harry even dabbled as a personal stylist. He is survived by his father, Richard L. Anderson,and Fiance, Lisa Magsanay and Harry’s mother, Sandra K. Fiore-Anderson and step father John C. Stadtmiller, both in Round Rock; his grandparents Richard & Betsy Anderson, his aunt Betsy Lee Anderson, and uncles Harry and Kip Anderson, all in Tennessee. His Grandfather Arnold F. Fiore of Ft. Myers, FL, his uncle Arnold Fiore and wife Kathy Fiore of Ft. Myers, FL, aunt Jody North and husband Jerry North of Riverview, FL, uncle David Fiore, aunt Patti Fiore of Ft. Myers, uncle William Fiore of Atlanta. Cousins Adrienne Fiore, Melinda Burriss and Davie Fiore.
Harry was a gentle soul with a kind heart and he often lent a helping hand to those in need and he will be missed by all of those who knew him. Harry only spent 23 years on this planet, but he touched many people with his love and warmth.

I attended the memorial service for Harry yesterday. Though it was profoundly sad, it was a lovely tribute to him. His friends and family filled the entire sanctuary. I was impressed by the number of people there to pay their respects proving that Harry was held in high esteem and very loved. I pray that his mother, Sandra, will find solace in that.
