He is survived by his brother, Jeff (Angela) Hanson of Morrison; sister, Mary (Randy) Swearingen of Rockford, IL, and sister-in-law, Evelyn Hanson of Morrison; several nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Leonard (Dale) Hanson; sister, Barbara Skoog; brother-in-law, Henry Skoog; nephew, Kevin Skoog.
