MO; the second child of the late James E. Hansbrough II and Zenna Mae
Hansbrough. He was born with an incredible talent for art and thus moved
to Kansas City, MO at an early age to attend the Kansas City Art
Institute. He was known for his incredible drawings, his love for people
and beautiful heart and spirit. He served The Plaza for almost 30 years as
a beloved Security officer. He loved and cherished his late wife Cheryl
Hansbrough with all his heart and soul as well as his family and friends.
He departed this life peacefully on Wednesday May 22, 2024. He will be
greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.

Dear Family, I'm saddened to hear of James making his transition. We lost touch over the years, but we remained great friends. I met James in 1971 as a freshman at Sumner High School in St. Louis. We became best friends and shared many life experiences in art, tennis, bicycling... and more. James was an inspiration for me to become an artist. We used to compete to see who could do the best drawings, of course, he would win with his awe-inspiring fine graphite drawings. We were roommates in KC and I'll always remember how cool and smooth he was, he had style and class. He loved great music and was the life of the party. I will miss my friend and will cherish our youthful times together.
