Byron Hansen, 84, of Fremont, NE, passed away Monday, December 28, 2020, at Methodist Fremont Health.
Byron was born in a blizzard on February 2, 1936, in Fremont, to Marvin and Sarah (Pascoe) Hansen.  He graduated from Fremont High School in 1954.  After school Byron served in the U.S. Navy as a “Seabee”from 1955 until 1961.  He was living in California during his time in the military.  Byron married Marilyn Sanders on February 26, 1956, in North Platte, NE and they raised 4 children.
Byron and his wife, Marilyn owned and operated 2 successful businesses, Commercial Roofing and The Sunshine Tavern in Fremont for over 4 decades.  He enjoyed many working trips over the winters to Texas and the two of them enjoyed many leisure trips to Las Vegas and to visit family in Arkansas.  Byron enjoyed playing cards, dice, horse racing and gambling while socializing and wearing exotic cowboy boots.  He also had quite the collection of fine cowboy hats.  Byron was a member of the American Legion and VFW in Fremont.  Many things brought Byron joy, but perhaps the thing he loved most was spending time with his family and friends.
