Dave Benedict Hanson
August 20, 1967 ~ January 13, 2014
It is with great sadness that we announce that David Benedict Hanson, born August 20th, 1967, passed away on January 13th, 2014 following a brief but courageous battle with cancer.
David was born and raised in Kamloops, BC. He attended UBC, graduating with a degree in Microbiology. While at UBC, David met his future wife and soul mate, Susan, who remained by his side for the next 25 years. Together they raised two beautiful children Zachery and Alannah of whom David was very proud. An avid outdoorsman, David spent time hiking, hunting, and fishing with his children, brother, and father. One of David's greatest gifts was the ability to make each person he met feel special. His innate sense of curiosity, partnered with his love of people and strong work ethic, was the backbone of his successful career. David earned the respect and admiration of his clients, and colleagues. As an accomplished piano player, David was often found at home playing his grand piano.
David and his sister Majella Hanson started their final journey to heaven together on January 13th, 2014. David is survived by his wife Susan, son Zachery, daughter Alannah, parents Ben and Leonie, sisters Meagan and Fiona (Des) (Gunnar, Hugo, August, Magnus, Guinevere) and brother Jeremy (Teresa) (Mattea, Seppi, Lorelai). The family wishes to thank Drs. Yoshida and Lim, friend Karen Smith for her support, David's co-workers at Kerr Wood Leidal, and all of the friends and family who helped us during David's difficult journey. A very special thank you to Dr. Elinda Ho for her extraordinary support for David and Susan as a professional and close family friend
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in David's name to the BC Cancer Foundation.
A funeral service was held on Saturday,
