Jack Martin Hansen, age 67, of Decorah, formerly of Anthon, IA, was called to Heaven Thursday, Aug. 10, 2023, at his home, surrounded by loved ones after a brave battle with ALS.

Jack was born Sept. 25, 1955, to Martin and Donna (Waugh) Hansen. On June 10, 1979, he married the love of his life and soulmate, Peg. The couple raised three children and were blessed with six grandsons.

He was preceded in death by his parents, a brother (Danny), a son-in-law (Dave) and many aunts and uncles.
