POCATELLO — Former Pocatello mayor Greg Anderson passed away Monday following a massive stroke.
“It’s been a roller coaster of emotions,” Anderson’s son, Tim Anderson, told the Idaho State Journal. “There were signs of hope, but it was not something he could overcome in the end.”
Anderson was the mayor of Pocatello from 1998 to 2002. He also served on Pocatello City Council.
The city of Pocatello issued the following statement on Anderson’s death:
We are saddened to learn of the passing of Pocatello’s former Mayor Greg Anderson. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Cheryl, as well as his family during this difficult time.
