Gary and your dear family,   Cindy and I join in expressing heartfelt sympathies to your family at the passing of your wonderful family.  I love your mom and dad and enjoyed them tremendously, especially when we were in Atlanta.  In fact, after playing a church bb game in Florida, I remember choosing to ride home with your mom and dad even though my family had traveled to the game.  Your father was a beautiful man, always kind, always upbeat and delightful to be with.  Our love and sincere best wishes to you all.  Clint Ensign

54 years ago the Lord gathered numerous families over a few months to Sandy Spring ward of the Atlanta stake. The Hansen family was one of those families. They have been a blessing to the Atlanta area ever since.  Oren was a great man who loved his wife, his children and his God. He was always doing service for others both here on earth and the other side. It was a blessing to know him and his family. Their example of service and devotion to the Gospel was an inspiration to me. I look forward to meet him again.

I am so sad to hear of his passing. I lived near Mabel- Vivian’s  mother. We would see Bro and sis Hansen every summer when they came to visit her. They were both so delightful. He would come visit me after Mabel passed away when he came to town to visit family. He was an inspiration and such a good example of dedication, faith and love. He will be missed. What a great man!

I'm very sorry to hear about the passing of Uncle Oren.
My mother Helen and myself are deeply saddened by the passing of our beloved Oren Hansen. While our hearts ache at his absence, we find comfort in the restored gospel of Jesus Christ and the knowledge that death is not the end. Through our Heavenly Father's plan of salvation, we know that families can be together forever and that those who have faithfully lived their lives continue their journey in the spirit world.
Uncle Oren's life, love, and example will continue to bless all who knew him. We are grateful for the memories he created, the kindness he shared, and the testimony he leaves behind. Though we will miss him dearly, we take peace in knowing that through the Atonement and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, we will see him again.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Hansen family during this difficult time. May the Lord's comfort, strength, and peace be felt by all who mourn, and may faith in His eternal promises bring hope and healing in the days ahead.

I will never forget the great times I had with the Hansen family while living in Roswell Georgia with Oren and Vivian  for several months after my LDS mission to Florida. They were always willing to help. When they were in Utah Oren helped me for many hours laying down ceramic tile in a home that I owned. He was truly a Christ like and also his eternal wife Vivian.

Gary and Melo, 
I am so sorry about the loss of your father. 
The Hansen family were very good to Gordon’s mom Norma Jean and Gordon 
Gordon passed this past March. He spoke highly of your association.
Thank you

Any time a life ends there is sadness, but can you even begin to imagine the joy Oren is experiencing now!!!! Bob and I moved here with our many children in 1991. Several times over the years Oren and Vivian have shown up at our house… totally unexpected…. With just the right tools in hand to fix whatever we had broken!!!! They listened to the Spirit and acted quickly on those promptings. When I was RS Pres I saw them do the same for many others. My husband, Bob, loved Oren. Bob passed away 5 years ago. I know he was so happy to see Oren again!!! Many heartfelt prayers for your family. You can all be so proud to be part of his family.

I am sorry for your loss. Oran appointed Johnny Overcash as the Boy Scout leader in the ward, and Johnny stayed in scouting for forty years. He always thanked Oran for putting him where he was happiest. Oran was a great man who impacted so many people.
