Earl Nelson Hansen, age 86, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on May 30, 2023.

He was born on October 21, 1936 to Harold and Cleonda Nelson Hansen.  Earl married Louise Busetto and was blessed with four children, Leslie (Terry), Kevin (Kathy), Kerry (Denise), and David. Earl and Louise would later divorce.

On February 13, 1982, Earl married the love of his life, Glenda Prettyman Lehman. They were sealed in the Manti Temple on July 16, 1998. She added five additional children to the family, Larry (Peggy) Lehman, Sandra (Brent) Johnson, Nadene (Scott) Davis, Mike Lehman, and Ralph Lehman. Two more children would later be added to Earl and Glenda’s ever-growing family, as Mike and Mariella Oman joined the family.

Earl liked to work and play hard. He loved to hunt the Duncan Mountains, fishing at Flaming Gorge, Fish Lake, and Scofield. He also had chariot horses and flat track horses with Kevin for many years. When time came, Earl and Glenda were snowbirds in Arizona.

Earl served in the National Guard. He worked for the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad as a carman for 24 years. He also had the Hansen Roofing company since 1960; David and Kerry own and run it today. He also has been involved with the Spring Glen Canal company for over 30 years. There are also the hobby farms, Black Angus cows, and hay fields all around Spring Glen with his boys. If something needed to be done, call Earl and he would make sure it was figured out.

He was a devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His family was his biggest accomplishment, as well as his pride and joy.
