Robert Hanson Obituary
Loving husband, father, grandfather and physician, Robert Emile Hanson Jr, also known as Dr. Hanson, Doc, or Bobby, was born on August 27, 1939, to the late Adrienne Ann Alexis and Dr. Robert Emile Hanson. He concluded his service to mankind on December 5, 2022.
Dr. Hanson was most known in Beaumont for caring for his patients. In fact, one seldomly ran into a person in Beaumont that was not a patient of, or delivered by, Dr. Hanson. He was also an advocate for education, an amazing cook, and had a love for rescue cats!
He leaves to celebrate his life, his wife, Deborah Ann Thibedeaux Hanson; sons, Michael Hanson, Alan Hanson, Ryan Hunter (Elicia), and Paul Hanson (Michelle); daughters, Piia Hanson, Robyn Hanson, Ahli Little (Jeremy) and Mikn Simon (Peter); goddaughter, Brandi Gordon; eleven grandchildren, Meagan, Adrian, River, Kamren, Ean, Rylee, Sira, Maya, Paloma, Niia and Solana; and one sister, Dr. Adrienne Hanson Walton of Hayward, Ca.
Dr. Hanson believed that life was about service. In life, he gave his time and talents to help patients entrusted to his care. In death, he continues to support education by donating his body to his alma mater, Meharry Medical College. He would encourage others to donate to science as well. In lieu of flowers and other gifts, please consider making a donation to the Humane Society of Southeast Texas, or your charity of choice.

I knew the elder Dr. Hanson and his beautiful sweet wife in Nacogdoches, Texas. I only knew the younger Dr. through my sister in law in Houston when he delivered my nephew over 40yrs ago. The entire Hanson family were remarkable and talented kind people. I pray that God gives him eternal peace and that he also gives peace and comfort to his family waiting to see him again. May God's grace follow them all. My sincere condolences, on behalf of the Patton and Jones family, Nacogdoches, Tx.

I will always remember my years of working for Dr. Hanson while in high school through the work program. He allowed me to continue working many years afterwards. I experienced going to the hospital with him, traveling to his Silsbee office a couple of days a week and so many memories. It was while working for Dr.
Hanson that I became pregnant, he was not just my employer, but also my Obstetrician! I was so happy to have him deliver my one and only child! I can't forget his wife Deborah and their entire family. They truly welcomed me into their home and family and I'm forever grateful. You all are in my prayers.
