Daryl Hanson

Daryl Bryce Hanson, 85, was born August 22, 1935 in Minot, ND to Art and Margaret (Tremblay) Hanson, the youngest of three sons. After a long walk down a path of fading memories, he passed away on March 6, 2021 at Kind-er Care in West Fargo, ND. His Wife, Janis Hanson, was by his side. Daryl was a very successful banker and real estate developer by day, but his greatest interests were in his music and his local community. His multi-instrument talents were enjoyed in the El Zagal Shrine Circus Band and German Band, or playing piano at rest homes, to name just a few. Daryl was active in many fraternal organizations, leading many at various times. His devotion to community led him to sponsor a youngster in the Big Brother Program, as well as providing a very active presence in the state-wide political process. If a group needed someone to support their cause, Daryl was ready to jump in. His ambition and gregarious nature will be missed by all! Daryl is survived by his wife Janis; his children Michael Jay Hanson (Jennifer Manson) of the Philadelphia area, Kari Ann Rumpza (Douglas) of Fargo, and their mother Joyce Hanson of West Fargo; Janis’ children Bruce Curtis of Fargo and Lisa Well (Martin) of Bismarck, 8 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. Daryl was preceded in death by his eldest son Jeffrey Alan Hanson, his parents, and brothers. The family would like to express their gratefulness to all the Kind-er Care caregivers for their compassionate care. There will be a private family gathering at a later date.
