David Bernard HAKANSON

David and I often talked about hockey and Park High. He had found memories of those days. He was an amazing person. More Insight than most, lots of love to share, had a giving heart, and yes loved his clothes. I see him strutting around wearing one of his newest finds smiling and at peace!

Dave and I were cousins. I have many fond memories of our youth, such as the time we got chased by Farmer Howard's bull in a field now populated with homes in Cottage Grove. I also remember attending Dave's hockey games when he played for St. Paul Park HS. Dave was one of the best players on the team and in the conference.
I will miss you Dave. Our whole family will.
Rest in God's peace.

As kids, my cousin Dave and I used to explore the rural spaces of St. Paul Park, including trying to catch wild pigeons in one of the barns so Dave could convert them to homing pigeons. Dave was fun to be with and I look back on those days with fond memories. I am happy he now has the peace that he has been searching for.

Rest well Dave, you are a beautiful spirit

David I will miss your smile and our little chats. Rest in peace. You told me that you were ready and would be happy to go when God called you home. Welcome home David, your pain is finally gone. Fly with angels and be free.

Dave was a wonderful resident at MCC and will be missed. He always had a smile on his face and greeted me every morning and it made my day. I will always remember him calling me Janie and his Vikings and Twins shirts he wore on game day. ( He was a snappy dresser for sure!)
