Lorell Anderson, II
November 17, 1971-September 28, 2021
Lorell Anderson, II of Toledo, Ohio transitioned to his heavenly home on September 28, 2021 after battling renal failure.
Lorell graduated from Rogers High School and enrolled at The University of Toledo with a major in English Literature. He went further to pursue academic excellence at the Bowling Green State University, graduating magna cum laude with a Master's in Public Administration. During this time, Lorell was an avid tennis player and one of the most notable coaches at Maumee Valley Country Day School for many years. He excelled in teaching and training high school students the mastery of Tennis. Lorell was very successful at a young age, being a forerunner in Education, sports, business management and the "Ministry" outside of the walls.
He worked many years in the Toledo Public School System as a teacher and the University of Toledo as an instructor. Lorell always knew that he had an entrepreneurial spirit, which led him to establish his own agency, Toledo Metropolitan Housing, developing homes for the underserved communities. Shortly thereafter, he pursued his passion in aiding, caring and mentoring the disabled population under the auspice of I-Care Home Health in Toledo, Ohio and the surrounding areas. He also served as an Academic mentor to Foreign Students, where he provided housing, transportation and training. He was a staunch member of the Democratic Party, serving and campaigning for the fight towards political justice.
More importantly, Lorell was a Minister of the Gospel, sharing his life story with those who were suffering with addictions, past hurt, pain and anyone who needed encouragement. He opened his home to the marginalized population, sharing his resources to all that were in need. His favorite song was "Let your Power Fall (You have won again) by Zacardi Cortez. Truly he believed that Jesus Christ has won the victory over death, hell and the grave. His love reached to the depth of family, friends and even strangers. Lorell Anderson, II touched countless lives all across the world. He will forever be remembered for his beautiful smile and generous spirit that will be forever with us for years to come.
