John Anderson’s family has made a heartfelt request to fans following the country music legend’s death.
The Country Music Hall of Famer died on October 21 at the age of 71. Now, his loved ones are asking fans to honor his memory in a meaningful way.
Family Asks Fans to Donate Instead of Sending Flowers
On Monday, October 26, Anderson’s family shared a special request with his fans.

The family specifically asked fans to support the Outdoor Fund through Bass Pro Shops. The fund supports conservation efforts and helps protect wildlife, lands, and waters.
The request reflects Anderson’s deep love for the outdoors.
“Your donation is a meaningful way to celebrate John’s life and keep his love for the outdoors alive,” his family said.
Fans can contribute to the Outdoor Fund by rounding up purchases at Bass Pro Shops or Cabela’s to the nearest dollar, either in stores or online.
