Victor Martine Anderson Sr. was born in Louisville, Kentucky on September 8, 1964 to Lola Mae Lockett Reynolds and John Emory Anderson. He was a loving father, brother, uncle and friend to many. Victor passed away on September 18, 2023, at the age of 59.
"Big Vic" or "Vic Damone" as some called him, enjoyed being around his family and friends and was a dedicated fan of the Louisville Cardinals and Pittsburgh Steelers. In his moments of relaxation his favorites were listening to Tupac Shakur, old school music, "Black and Mild" cigars and being in love with "Mary Jane."
He never met a stranger and always loved having great conversations. Victor is remembered for his sense of humor, a love for throwing jokes and making people laugh. Most importantly, he made those he interacted with feel like they were part of the family.
