Brian Hansen Obituary

Brian Carsten Hansen of Phoenix, Arizona passed away suddenly on
March 2, 2008 at the age of 62. Brian grew up in Saskatchewan, Canada – the second child in a family of seven, all of whom still live in Canada. Brian, his beloved wife Cory, and cherished daughters Kelsey and Bree-Anne moved to Arizona in 1985. There he continued his computer consulting business that he started in Calgary in 1979. He brought his love for hockey to Arizona and continued playing regularly until RV trips to Rocky Point and Flagstaff took him away on weekends. Brian is survived by his wife, his daughters, his mother, Ann Hansen, and siblings Bev Thompson, Terry Hansen, Maureen Karakachuk, Amber Boyarski, Gail Kolodniski, Neil Hansen and a large extended family. Service will be held at 6 pm Wednesday, March 12 at Hansen Chapel, 8314 N 7th Street, Phoenix.

Brian and I were classmates and graduated from Keliher High School in 1964 . We were a very tight knit group and were all good friends during those formative years. His sister Bev and I were also good chums. With Kelliher's homecoming in July of 2009, we were hoping to see a lot of our "old group"....so sorry that Brian will not be here to join us...but he will be in our thoughts.

Please accept my sincere sympathy. He was away too young to leave this world!! You and your children will be lost without him.

I was so sorry to hear about Brian's passing. I graduated with him, and haven't seen him since, but some of us have been wondering where our classmates were. I know you will all miss him dearly. Sincerest sympathy to you and your family.

Many years ago, Brian and I formed the Arizona Progress Users Group. He helped organize it, get out the mailings, and do the many things needed to form a group. He attended the meetings and always had something to offer. It could have been a comment, a technical tip, or a different perspective. In one way or another he always added to the meeting, and we were richer for him being there. I believe that is the type of person he was.
He will be missed.
