Fellow classmate Japji Brar also came to the funeral to say goodbye. She says he is already so missed, and their whole class is grieving.
"I don't know how I kind of put into words or whatever. You saw him. You got this like, happiness when you saw him," Brar said.
Brar says it's hard for everyone to come to terms with what happened.
"No one, no one wants to say anything because it's we were all so heartbroken. Everyone had some type of connection with him. We all, like, knew him as a good friend or like he'd always be there," she said.
His twin brother Ranj spoke about his work ethic and the goals and dreams he had for the future, which will now never come true.
"I would get a 97 on a test, he would get a 100. I would play a good game, he would play excellent," he said.
Anderson says he knows he made the right choice to say goodbye to a great friend.
"He is an awesome friend, and I know for two years he was the funniest person I knew at that school. I got really close with him after seventh grade, and then I felt I wouldn't be right if I didn't come," he said.
