Danny Hansen Obituary

Danny was a loving and devoted husband, father and grandfather. He helped so many people achieve their dreams of home ownership through his 36 year career in real estate.

Danny welcomed me to the Real Estate business 34 years ago, and was my go-to source for help when I needed the advice of someone who had a head start in the business. Later, we shared fun times flying R/C airplanes together.

To Danny's Family,
I am so saddened to hear of Danny's passing. I first met Danny when I needed to sell family property because of a death in the family. Danny made every step of the way easy and without any kind of sales pressure. He diligently sat Open Houses in a very slow market. He was a pleasure to work with and knew his business front and backwards. Danny's son-in-law, Brian, is the best friend of my son (Ryan) and that's how I met him. I remember how proud he was when he walked Danielle down the aisle, beaming all the way. I was looking forward to reconnecting with him and Linda when they came south to scout out retirement possibilities for the winter months. Danny was such a pleasant human being to be around and I can only guess there will be many, many people who will be saddened to hear of him leaving this planet much too soon.
Linda, I hope those for 42 wonderful years with Danny will give you the strength to get past this dark time and that your memories of those years will give you comfort as you navigate each day. Danielle & Brian, I know how you must be hurting so much to lose your dad so early on -- consider yourselves lucky for having had such a loving father for the time you did have. He set a good example of how to live one's life.
With loving thoughts,
Suzy Prescott, Sun City, Arizona

Linda and family - I will miss long-time friend and flying buddy Danny. I first met Danny when he helped my purchase my first home in the mid 70's. Later, I interviewed with him, and he encouraged me to "try" Real Estate. He enrolled me in real estate school. Later - we met, and have enjoyed flying our R/C planes together. He helped countless flyers obtain their solo certificate as their instructor. Danny was a great contributor at our club meetings. On behalf of the Flaming Geyser Flyers, we will miss our dear friend Danny. Our best you you and your family.

Linda & family, I am so sorry to hear about Danny's passing. I always considered him one of the best agents I every worked with. He was very funny and I loved previewing with him, as did the rest of us at Windermere Real Estate/Fauntleroy, Inc. A lot of us haved moved on to other agencies to lower our costs and general overhead expenses but we will all miss him.
