Faithful member of the LDS Church, he fulfilled many callings. He was a very loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Raynold and Melba Hansen, siblings Robert Hansen, Joyce Bown, and Janet Earl and his in-laws Miles and Elaine Roundy.
