David Hannah III - 1944-2015
David Hannah III passed away peacefully and unexpectedly at home on Tuesday December 29, 2015. A native Houstonian, he was born September 3, 1944, to Catherine and David Hannah Jr.
He started his professional career with the Burkhead Manufacturing Corporation, then entered the real estate business. As an officer for the Ayrshire Corporation he developed property in Texas, Louisiana, and Australia. His most recent position was with Houston Executive Airport.
Born prematurely, David was extremely hard of hearing which makes many of his accomplishments noteworthy, among them, earning a pilot's license before getting a driver's license, building a one and a half inch scale, working replica model of a Mikado steam engine and building by hand two miles of track for his model trains for The Browning Railroad in Chappell Hill, Texas. David met Kenzie Ganchan, when she was three weeks old when their mothers brought them both to the local sewing club. He married her in April 1970 and loved to boast that he met the love of his life when he was just three years old. His love of trains and planes was only eclipsed by his love and devotion to his family and his grandchildren. Always genuinely happy to be helpful in any situation and with the friendliest of dispositions, he never knew a stranger. He was a great husband, father, grandfather, neighbor and friend. He will be missed by many.
David served as the Vice President of the River Oaks Property Owners association, served as an Election Judge for Precinct 217, was on the Aviation Committee of the Houston Chamber of Commerce. He was also a founding member of the Houston Area Live Steamers (HALS) and most notably served on the board of the Houston Ear Research Foundation for over 33 years.
He was a life-long member of the First Presbyterian Church of Houston and a member of St. John the Divine.
He is survived by his wife of 45 years, Kenzie Ganchan Hannah, his sons David Hannah IV and wife Michele, Richard Ganchan Hannah and wife Lana, and John Marshall Hannah; grandchildren Julia, Lena and Pierce Tongate, and Price and Charlie Hannah, brother Douglas Hannah and wife Flo, sister Glen Hannah Cole and husband Hugh, his favorite aunt and uncle, Rita and John Hannah as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
In lieu of flowers the family suggests donations in David's name to: Houston Ear Research Foundation; 7737 Southwest Freeway, Suite 630, Houston 77074.
There will be a private graveside service at Glenwood Cemetery. A memorial service will be held at The Church of St. John the Divine, 2450 River Oaks Blvd, Houston, Texas on Tuesday, January 5th at 11:00 AM with a reception to follow at Sumner's Hall.
