Greg was born in Milwaukee, WI on October 21, 1967 to W. Kermit Hansen and Olga Hansen. He grew up in the Milwaukee and Waukesha areas and attended Waukesha North High School.
Greg was extremely proud to have served in the US Army from 1989-1996 as an Intelligence Analyst achieving the rank of Sergeant. During this time he received the 3 Commendation Medals, 2 Achievement Medals, 2 Conduct Medals, National Defense Service Medal, and Southwest Asia Service Medal and was Soldier of the Year. He was stationed in Misawa, Japan and Ft. Carson, Colorado. He served in Kuwait during the Gulf War and was a veteran of the Military Action in Somalia.
During his time in the army and in his career Greg traveled the world making friends wherever he went. He always had a story to tell. Greg played Rugby for years and had been a member of the Denver Highlanders, Colorado Springs Rugby Club and Omaha G.O.A.T.S. He enjoyed riding his motorcycle and especially loved the Green Bay Packers.
Greg is survived by his children, Alicia (Jesse) Block and Cassie Hansen of Richland, WA; AC1 Shane Hansen of Wichita Falls, TX; Parents Olga Hansen, Aventura, FL and Kermit and Verna Hansen of Waukesha, WI; sisters Laurel (Jon) Stadler of Germantown, WI and June (Ron) Speltz, Cedar Rapids, IA; grandsons, Connor and Noah Block; nieces Alison, Sydney and Angela Speltz, nephews Jake, Austin and Mitchell Stadler and Sawyer Speltz.

Hey Greg,
I heard this song on the radio this morning by Brad Pasiley called "When I get where I'm going." You came to mind immediately. I looked it up on YouTube. Another that comes to mind if Gone by Blink-182. I remember you singing it word for word when it first came out.
I miss you my friend...RIP.

From our initial days contracting with MCI in Cary N.C. in 1998, through revamping the USPS and NASDAQ Enterprise Wide Networks for MCI , into our days on the rugby pitch, to the last time we spoke in 2012. You will always be my friend Greg. My heart aches, and I will miss you dearly. Hand salute to you and your life. God has you now and may he bring peace to all you leave behind. You should've called man...

Our prayers for Greg and the entire family. Really impressive military background. Would like to hear more about Greg's military time at a later date. It's always a shame we have to wait until we read a person's obituary to know more about a person. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help the family. Love, The Kureys
