Obituary: Former Chicago Bear dies of heart attack at 33

Associated Press

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Former Chicago Bear and Arkansas Razorback Ken Anderson has died of a heart attack at age 33.

Anderson's pastor, Dexter Howard of Life Harvester Church in Fayetteville, confirmed to The Associated Press on Saturday that Anderson died Friday night. Anderson was a minister at the church and was living in the Fayetteville area.

Anderson lettered for the Razorbacks from 1994-1997 and played for the Bears in 1999.

Howard described the defensive lineman as someone who lived life to the fullest and loved his family. The pastor and Anderson also were Razorback football teammates.

Dean Weber is Arkansas' director of equipment operations. He said Friday that Anderson was a great guy, a hard worker and a team player.
