Michael Ray Anderton, 60, passed away at his home December 5, 2023. He was born January 6, 1963 in Austin, TX. Michael had a love for helping others and did so as a physical therapy assistant. He worked for Siskin Physical Therapy and throughout his career he helped patients for over thirty six years. Michael had the heart of an explorer and enjoyed traveling the world. He also had a love for hot sauce. In his many travels he built up a large collection. Those who knew him would bring back hot sauce as a gift for him instead of a t-shirt. Michael enjoyed goofy socks that matched his fun, kind, loving and generous personality. He also knew his music, as some would call him an aficionado of musical knowledge.

He is preceded in death by both his maternal and paternal grandparents.

Michael is survived by his loving wife, Vicky, son, Robert Phelps, parents, Jerry and Carolyn Anderton, step-son, Benjamin (Taneisha) Sutton, brother, Kenneth Anderton and two grandchildren.

A Memorial Service will be held at Siskin at a later date.
