Dean Hanson
Dean Hanson, 75 of Mindoro, WI passed away August 21, 2026.
He was born to Charles and Delores on August 12, 1951. He served in the Army, stationed in Germany, and Korea. In the past he worked construction, and general carpentry. He enjoyed many outdoor activities, including hunting, and fishing. Especially those that brought him closer to the river, where he felt most at peace.
Dean had a special sense of humor, and always had something witty to say, in the hopes that it would brighten someone’s day, and put a smile on their face. He especially enjoyed travelling north to the Black River Falls Casino with his wife, to spend some time socializing with the many friends he made there over the years. Dean married Judy Antone in 1979. They spent 47 loving years together and cherished every moment of it.
He is survived by his wife Judy, their son Troy, his siblings Duane, Debra, and Curt. Along with his grandchildren Kyle, April, Clayton, and Aurora. Dean and Judy kindly took in and raised Kyle and April.
They were always enthralled by the many stories Dean would tell.
Per Dean’s wishes there will be no service or gatherings.
Coulee Region Cremation Group is assisting the family during this difficult time.
Sympathies to Judy and Dean’s family. Will miss seeing him in town. Cherish the memories. Class of 1969 Melrose Mindoro 🙏
