Kenneth Hanson Obituary
March 31, 1937 - April 13, 2020
Kenneth Myron Hanson passed away in his sleep at home on Monday, April 13th. He was a beloved husband, son, brother, father, grandfather and great grandfather. Ken grew up in Elgin, Illinois. He spent his entire career serving his country. In his twenties he joined the US Air Force. He served 27 years and rose to the rank of Chief Master Sergeant. After retiring from the Air Force, he served 14 years teaching ROTC at Mainland High School in Daytona Beach. After his retirement from there, he spent countless hours volunteering with the Port Orange Police Department as a domestic violence advocate. Ken was loved by his family who knew he had a heart of gold under his crusty military sergeant exterior. He would always do whatever he could to help us when needed. Ken was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Barbara, and parents. He is survived by his sister, brother, daughter, son, 5 grandchildren, 2 great grandchildren and his dog. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Beacon Center, Daytona Beach.

Chief Hanson ... A great man ... he was instrumental in my continued pursuit to be an officer even while playing baseball in college... because of his mentorship from high school I continued with ROTC ... and enjoyed several years as an officer in the Army. I remember him always walking out to the batting cage to watch and talk to me as I hit baseballs at MHS... great memories of a great man
