Dennis died Thursday evening, December 8, 2016 surrounded by his family and
friends at his home in Albert Lea. He was 58 years of age.
Dennis was born September 8, 1958 in Belmond, Iowa, the son of Roger and
LaVonne (Clark) Hanson. He attended Belmond schools until moving to Mason
City, IA, in 1965.
Dennis went into the trucking industry at a very early age and in 2006 he stepped
out to create his own business, "Hanson's Truck Line" in Albert Lea, MN.
Dennis kept very busy with his business and loved doing it. He was interested in
car shows and his own hot rod in his spare time. Also had his dog Bella who was
always at his side.
Dennis was a very generous man and shared his blessings with many. He had no
children of his own but adopted many in his heart. When anyone was having a
crisis in their life, Dennis would be there to comfort and help them through it. He
loved helping others to meet their dreams in life.
He was elected to join into a car club in November of this year and enjoyed
meeting new people and made lots of friends. In October of 2015 Dennis was
given the gift of life thru a dear friend Steve Schiff who donated him his kidney.
Those left to cherish his memory include three brothers, Loren Hanson (Diane) of
Mason City, IA, Ronald Hanson (Tammi) of Mason City, IA, Eugene Hanson of
Woodward, IA, sister Lois Schwartz of Many, IA, many nieces, nephews and other
family members and many good friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents, brother Terry Hanson and wife Diane,
sister Linda Thayer and husband Claude, niece Amanda Gomez Cook, nephew
Scotty Phifer and two loving pets Bunky and Beaner.
Dennis got his nickname "Doc" from my grandfather when he was a little boy. Grandpa loved watching "Gun Smoke" on Saturday night and one night he started calling him "Doc" and it just stuck with him thru our childhood years....
"Spirit in the Sky" just one of many of Dennies favorite songs...
