Bryan joined his family in heaven on March 14, 2026, after a brief and difficult battle with a critical illness.
He was born in Santa Cruz, California, on August 20, 1954, to Alvin Andrew Anderson and Betty Janice Zweifel. He attended Soquel High School and earned his bachelor’s degree in business finance, with a minor in religious studies, from San Jose State and Cabrillo College.
Bryan’s proudest accomplishments included testifying before Congress for the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act and serving as a negotiator for the AFL-CIO. After his parents passed away, he moved to Fallon, Nevada, where he opened Dialogic Systems Computer Consulting Firm, which he operated locally for more than 40 years.
Community service was at the center of his heart. He started the Foster Children’s Christmas Party, where he collected toys and desserts for children across five counties in lieu of consulting fees.
Bryan met Rose Anderson in 1988. They became instant best friends, a bond that blossomed into marriage on February 17, 2001. Bryan instantly loved Rose’s three children and stood by them through tumultuous challenges, including the death of one child and raising her child, Jarron, along with their own daughter, Sarah. He also helped care for his nephew Alvin while his brother served in the Navy. Guided by his love for Jesus Christ, Bryan lived by the conviction, “That’s what family does.” He regularly attended Oasis Community Church and found joy in celebrating the Jewish feasts with friends and family, advocating that the Bible was a whole, unified book, not two testaments put together.
Bryan was an outlaw sprint car driver for Crystal Edwards, enjoyed NASCAR racing, and was an avid San Francisco Giants fan, a passion he loved sharing with his daughter Lauren.
He was preceded in death by his parents; his brothers, David and Dale; and his daughter, Stephanie. He is survived by his wife of 25 years, Rose Anderson; daughters Lauren and Sarah Anderson; sons Aaron, Jordan, and Jarron Benham; nephew Alvin Anderson; and sistersinlaw Beth and Shawn Anderson. Bryan enjoyed his 10 grandchildren: Lauren’s sons, Samuel and Benjamin; Aaron’s wife, Dalas, and their children, Phynex, Christian, David, and Brantley; Jordan’s wife, Misty, and their children, McKayla, Tyler and Harper; Stephanie’s son, Jarron; and Alvin’s wife, Kris, who is expecting their son, Soren. He also leaves behind numerous nieces and nephews.
Services for Bryan will be held at Smith’s Family Funeral Home on March 28, 2026, with a public viewing at 9 a.m. and the service to follow at 11 a.m. at 505 Rio Vista Drive, Fallon, NV 89406.
There will be a meal, fellowship, and open house at Bryan and Rose’s home at 195 N. Bailey St., near Safeway.
Bryan dedicated support to local food banks. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Out of Egypt, the local food bank, or the benevolence fund through Oasis Community Church.
