James Hanson Obituary
He was born on December 14, 1937, to Arthur and Clara (Scott) Hanson. James married his beloved wife, Beverly Hull, on June 7, 1957, and together they shared 67 wonderful years of marriage.
James had a deep love for the outdoors, especially hunting and fishing. He was a proud member of the 4-H Fair Board and the Sheffield Gun Club, and he founded the Denmark 4-H, where he made a lasting impact on many young lives. James worked as both a dairy farmer and a carpenter for many years, and his dedication to his work and family was evident to all who knew him.
James is survived by his wife, Beverly; his children, Dan Hanson, Debbie Thompson, and Wayne (Leanne) Hanson; his grandchildren, Olivia (Michael) Anderson, Lucas Slusher, Shayna Hanson, James Hanson, Dwayne Hanson, and Wyatt Hanson; four great-grandchildren; and his siblings, Shirley Smith, Esther Jurcenko, and Mary Dumperth.
He was preceded in death by his parents and several siblings.
A funeral service (no visitation) will be held on Saturday, February 15, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at Fleming & Billman Funeral Home, 49 W. Jefferson St., Jefferson, Ohio, with burial to follow at Oakdale Cemetery.
In honor of James' love for 4-H, the family kindly requests that memorial contributions be made to the 4-H Foundation.

I love you Daddy. I will always be your little girl. Your love has made me strong and has taught me to never give up no matter how rough or bad things got. This love has helped me get through so many challenges in my life and will help me get through the ones to come. I will miss hearing you say I am your little girl, you love me, and you are proud of me that always came with such great big hugs. I will miss coming to spend time with you and Mom. I know you will always be watching over us in heaven and helping us get through the battles that may come.
Always know I love you, and you will be forever in my heart.
Love your daughter,
Debbie
