Troy Wayne Hanson

life story

A Devoted and Loving Husband, Father, and Grandfather

Troy W. Hanson, age 57, of Ramsey, passed away peacefully on October 29, 2026, after fighting a long, exhausting battle with cancer. He has now descended into Heaven.

Troy served in the United States military and spent many years working with the United States Postal Service. An avid outdoorsman and car enthusiast, Troy enjoyed driving his Camaro, golfing, fishing, and traveling when possible (even if only a few hours away). His truest joy was found wherever his family was. Troy was a proud and supportive father and grandfather who enjoyed watching Abigail dance and then watching Sophia follow in her footsteps to the stage, watching Callaway excel and find passion in football, baseball and basketball, and getting to the rink when he could to watch Sophia and Lincoln take the ice in their shared love of hockey, and he was endlessly proud of his eldest daughter, Tina.

Troy is survived by his loving wife, Carmelle; children Tina (Mike) Eidsmoe, Abigail Hanson, and Callaway Hanson; mother, Judy Martineau; father-in--law, Brad Meyers; sisters-in-law, Mondai (Mike) Sherman and April (Toby) Kilby; brother-in-law, Bradley (Jackie) meyers; and his cherished grandchildren, Sophia and Lincoln Eidsmoe. He is also survived by many loving aunties, uncles, and cousins.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents, his brother Chad Hanson, his mother-in-law Diane Meyers, and his step father Terry Martineau.
