Brent W Hansen born April 3, 1944, in Ogden Utah, to Walter Alfred Hansen and Isabelle Goodsell Hansen, passed away on December 12, 2018 after a short battle with ALS (Lou Gehrigs disease) at his home in Layton, Utah.
Brent was born and raised in Ogden Utah, he attended Ogden City schools and graduated from
Ogden High School in 1961. Brent was active in sports his entire life, was an accomplished violinist, and music was an important part of his life.
Brent worked 55 years as a painting contractor owning his own business and working for others, creating lasting and loving friendships. Brent worked all of the world painting temples for his church, eventually working on almost every continent. Brent also spent several years as a volunteer with Weber county Search and Rescue and jeep posse. He loved the outdoors, hunting and fishing throughout his life and was an avid Salt Lake Gizzleys fan and booster.
On September 20th, 2008, he married Kris McGill and together they shared the happiest years of their life. They were very active in their church, held many positions, and after her death he spent time as an ordinance worker in the Bountiful Temple. He was focused on service to his fellow man, with empathy being one of his greatest gifts.
