Taz Anderson

[GlennW]

It is with great saddness to announce the passing of former GA Tech great Taz Anderson. His sister, Clay, has confirmed his passing this morning.

Very sad news. He really was a Tech great and I enjoyed watching him play.

Great Yellow Jacket. God Bless. Condolences and prayers for his family.

 

[OldJacketFan]

Very sorry to hear this! Thoughts and prayers out to his family and friends!

He had been in ill health for a while and they didn't think he'd make it about a year ago. He got better, and seemed to be healthier, but, obviously, never fully recovered.

Big loss for the Tech family. Sorry to hear this.

RIP. Hell of a GT man.

This and last year have been tough for Tech athletics so far. Sad to hear this.

 

[DCSS]

RIP Taz

One of Dodd's boys. Dodd would not have many more and none better. I believe I recall some chatter when Johnson was hired that Anderson was instrumental in the whole situation.

 

[Lexjacket]

He saved Georgia Tech Football more than once.

 

[awbuzz]

Yes he did.

Condolences to his family and friends.

 

[Boomergump]

Sad. God rest his soul.

Great Georgia Tech man. He will be greatly missed. Rest in peace. Job well done.

Go Jackets!

Rest In Peace

Man loved Tech. The Taz had great expectations for GT. He believed Tech should win.

What we could not do with a thousand more like him.

Glad his suffering is over and he can rest in peace.

Praying his family will feel the comfort of God's love.

Always a TECH MAN! R.I.P.

And yet another Tech icon is gone. He usually had a smile on his face, always up to something with Tech on his mind.

Previously an end, Taz moved to fullback and confounded defenses by being "a hard-driving fullback that could catch the ball"...not often seen back in the day. A fine athlete and a great Tech man.

RIP, old friend. Keep a light on for me.

One of my idols while I was in high school. And I came to Tech because I was a fan of those guys, not because I wanted to be an engineer. It paid off well for me.
