David Hanson Obituary
David Erick Hanson, 73, of Blue Springs, Mo., passed away in his home Sunday, June 18, 2017.
Services will be held Saturday, June 24, at Good Shepherd Christian Church, 111 S.W. Woods Chapel Road, Blue Springs, MO 64015. Visitation will begin at 10 a.m., followed by a funeral service at 11:30 a.m.

David was born on July 8, 1943, in Bucklin, Mo. As a young man, David worked at Kenworth Trucks and later worked driving for Consolidated Freightways and then Kohl's. He was a Teamster and a proud member of the UAW. All who knew him will say he seemed to know everything there is to know about cars of all kinds and eras. He worked each day's crossword puzzle in the newspaper, was an avid reader and loved listening to music. He was a member of Good Shepherd Christian Church in Blue Springs, Mo. David loved his family and rarely missed an event where he would have a chance to celebrate, or cheer on, or brag about those he loved.
David was preceded in death by his parents, Erick and Violette Hanson; his wife, Deanna; and granddaughter, Monica.
He is survived by three sisters, JoAnne Fox, Edith (and Bill) Gordon, Hilda (and Dale) Sayler; brother, Philip Hanson; daughters, Lauri (and Steve) Phillips and Lisa Conner (and Howard Spector); sons, Jim (and Bobbi) Hanson and Steve (and Karina) Conner; 8 grandchildren; and 1 great-granddaughter.
Arrangements: Royer Funeral Home, Grain Valley, 816-847-4441.
