In Loving Memory of
Edward Carl Hansen of Terrace, B.C.
January l4, l96l- January 5, 2012
Ed lost his fight with pancreatic cancer and passed away in a hospice in Vernon.
Predeceased by his mother Margaret in 1992, Ed will be deeply missed by his son, Darcy of Kelowna, his dear friend Denise of Kelowna, father Alan (Faye) of Clearwater, brothers Leroy (Leslie) of Dawson Creek, Raymond (Judy) of Fort St. John, Hans (Esther) of Fort St. John, his sister Anna of Vernon, and his nieces and nephews, Heather, Kristin, Shelby, Erik, Tyrone, Stacey Marissa, and Jeremy and a host of good friends.
Ed was born in Kamloops and raised in Clearwater. After high school he went to Fort Nelson and became a heavy-duty mechanic and worked mainly in Prince George and Terrace. Five years ago Ed began to work for the Hunter Dickinson Mining Group based in Vancouver, B.C. They sent him to work at Farallon Minerals in Mexico. He enjoyed touring the Mexico countryside in his Volkswagen bug. He returned to Canada often and spent his leisure time in Terrace and the Okanagan, where he visited family and friends. While in the Okanagan he and Darcy toured around on his Norton. He was looking forward to going to Chile with the management team in 2012. However, in September 20ll he found out that he had inoperable cancer and would not be able to go.
At Ed's request there was no service. There will be an informal gathering to celebrate Ed's life at a later date.
