Douglas "Dougie" Neal Hansen Obituary (1975 - 2020)

Douglas "Dougie" Neal Hansen passed away on September 2, 2020 in Ogden, Utah. Doug, son of David and Kay Hansen, was born September 2, 1975. The unexpected passing of our son, father, brother, and friend will leave all our hearts forever missing him. Those bright blue eyes were filled with unconditional love and support for all his family. Doug was always creating an adventure for whomever he was with, and was the life of every party. Doug was very kind, always welcoming, and always willing to get things done, as long as you gave him an extra hour buffer to arrive on time. Doug was known for his amazing hugs and the ability to make people smile. His laugh would light up an entire room, especially when he was sharing family secrets around the dinner table. Doug attended Davis High and graduated in 1993. He then devoted his education to becoming a Master Electrician. Doug left his mark on many commercial buildings and amenities that we enjoy today. Up until his passing, he was the head electrician over the new terminal's fire alarm system at Salt Lake International Airport. This role in the new airport terminal was a massive accomplishment that Doug was very proud of. He was a well-respected leader and co-worker within his profession. Doug had a giving nature and helped countless people with electrical needs during his spare time. Doug lived in the "WC" (Weber County) all of his life. Doug married Nicole Carson in 1999 and later divorced in 2017. Together they created their family of 3 boys. He enjoyed being a father, shooting guns, and listening to country music. He was an avid Denver Broncos fan, and was known in the family as the “fun uncle.” His passion for football carried over to watching his boys play football and lacrosse. Doug was always a daredevil, seeking thrills that most would not. This trait was passed down and shared by his boys, leaving no shortage of memories that will live on forever. Doug’s boys were his purpose, and the center of his life. He beamed with pride being with his children and watching them grow up. He was an amazing father, brother, and son. Doug is survived by his three sons, Hunter, Hayden, and Holden; parents, David and Kay Hansen; siblings, Lynne (Mike) Sampson, Jared (Karen) Hansen, Bryon Hansen, Jamie (Nate) Rothe, as well as 11 nieces and nephews, grandmother Myrna Hansen, and other extended family members. He was preceded in death by Grandpa Richard Hansen, Grandparents LaMont and LaVona Wakely, and Aunt Robyn Grable. In honor of Doug's wishes, there will only be a viewing, which will be held at Jenkins-Soffe Memorial Tuesday, September 8th, from 5pm-8pm. 1007 W. South Jordan Parkway. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to an America First Credit Union account in memorial of Douglas Hansen. Account #9117714. All donations will be added to his boys’ education funds.
