When he was eight years old he moved to Kennewick, Washington.

He leaves behind a legacy which will be remembered for his work ethic and his loving attitude to everyone around him. His life exhibited Godly wisdom, humility, and genuine compassion for others. This is the way we will remember him.

Dear Janice & Family,
Our deepest sympathy to you all. Scott was always smiling and willing to help. I remember the time he took to talk to me about my relationship with my son. He genuinely cared. You are in our prayers.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Scott Hansen from the Cafe at Queensgate.
Although I did not know Scot Hansen, I do know Ben, and know that he is a wonderful, kind, and caring, human being because of Scot and Janice. I feel deeply saddened that your family is going thru such a difficult time, and that each of you let the love of everyone around lift you up. I send you all love and hope that you will heal with time. Even though I only know Ben, I feel a tremendous amount of love for all of your family. I am so sorry for your loss and if you need anything, I will be there.
We mourn with you. We also take comfort with you in our Lord Jesus Christ. We will continue to lift all of you up in prayer & rejoice in the memories our families have shared together over the years. We will be out of town on the 4th. 2 Corinthians 1. Much love – The Roberts family
Hanson Family,
Ken & I went to high school with Scot & Brad. We have fun and happy memories of Scot. Later in life when we would see him in public he was still friendly and talked about Jesus, he even asked if we were believers. Our hearts ache for you and your loss. You are in our prayers.
I went to high school with Scot, and I remember him as a very gentle man, kind hearted. Later in life, Scot became our family accountant. My wife and I are so sad to hear of Scot’s death. But God’s Grace and Providence will prevail. In his Name we pray.
Dear Janice and Family:
We are still in grief and much shock of the news of Scot. As you know, our lives have touched in different arena’s since the early 80’s. Always in a positive and encourageing connotation. We sought Scot’s financial/business advice & expertise, even before we needed his accounting help. A trustworthy businessman for sure.
This world as we know, has lost a very valuable vessel, as well as a special touch from God that Scot always projected to others.
You & your family will be in our thoughts and prayers for a very long time. We won’t be able to make the service on Saturday as in recovery from pneumonia right now.
Love to all & may God’s Blessing’s hold you all together and near to HIS OWN heart. This will be a very difficult time for you. Please contact us, if there is anything we can do to help you with things.
To the Hansen Family,
I only met Scot one time when I made an appointment to meet him in his CPA office after my husband passed away and had financial/accounting concerns. He was recommended to me by a friend who knew him and because of his Christian character.
Scot took the time to ascertain my situation and answer my questions to my satisfaction. He was very kind and caring. When it was time to go, and I asked about the consultation fee, he told me there was no charge. I was very touched and appreciative for his generosity and it was a definite indication of his Christian character, and I have never forgotten him.
I am so sorry for your loss and pray God will surround you with His loving arms and loving family and friends to support your family through this time.
Dear Janice,
What a horrible shock to hear of Scot’s passing. I can’t imagine the pain you and your family are feeling now. I just met Scot but heard you always say what a good and kind man he was and that he was very good to you. When you introduced us, his bright smile and eyes are the things I remember the most. I am so very sorry to hear of his passing and knowing that you must feel such awful pain. This should never happen to a sweet person like you, Janice. My heart goes out to you. Sincerely, Trudi Scheele
Hansen Family, I am so sorry for the loss of your husband and father, Scot. I had the pleasure of attending school and graduating at Kamiakin with Scot and his twin Brad. I grew up in the same neighborhood, and am remembering today the fun times Scot, his buddy Donny Coburn and I and few other kids had sledding down Young street in our neighborhood one year. Scot was a very smart and confident kid, and I enjoyed his sense of humor and friendship. I only saw him once after we graduated – he was lit up, and so excited about his new found relationship with Jesus – he was so happy to be walking with Him. He was just shining! He will really be missed, and I will treasure those childhood memories.
Dearest Janice & family,
Clark and I are deeply grieving your temporary separation from Scot, as well as ours. We love him like a brother and we love all of you, too! Please know that we are praying for you throughout each day, with aching hearts. Praise the Lord, that He is stronger than our adversary and that NOTHING can separate us from His love, in Christ Jesus!!! Scot is safe at home with the Lord and we rejoice in TRUTH! our love and blessings to you, the Gunions
Janice and Family,
Although I had not met Scot in person, I feel I knew him well though his loving wife, Janice. Scot will be missed by so many, and he is loved by more. It would have been my honor to have met Scot in person. I am beyond words as to how sorry I am for your loss of such a wonderful and Godly man. I remain certain that Scot is resting in God’s loving care. May God bless his family at this time with peace, healing, love and care, until they are with him again.
Janice and Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Scot was a student, mentor, friend and confidant. He always had a smile. He was a super listener, and he told you what he thought was in your best interest…even if you didn’t think it was. He often spoke about how proud he was of his family and the time he was able to spend with them.
We will miss his guidance. Scot was the best!
With our deepest sympathy,
Hank & Nancy Sauer
May God be with you Janice and your family at this difficult time.
Scot was a special friend when I worked next door to him. Daily prayers and sharing were our routine on Gage Blvd.
Recently I had the opportunity to review one of my clients with Scot and was able to pray and get my hugs in.
I know that God has a special place for him and you all will be together again one day.
Julie
Janice and family- My thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult of times. Tom Owen
Dear Family:
Scott and I went to college at CWU together. He was the greatest and I have talked to Scott at several CPE classes in the last years. I loved Scott and wanted you to know that he was well respected in our community of CPA’s. If I can help in any way please let me know and I will try.
May the Lord hold you up in this time of crisis. God Bless You.
David D. Schelert
Janice and family….love to you and prayers. May God hold you tight.

Janice & family
All of us from Baker & Giles will miss Scot’s expertise, knowledge & especially his smile. Our prayers are with you during this very tough time.

Dear Janice and Family,
My husband and I used Scot as our accountant and he truly was one of the most honest, ethical and caring person that we have known and worked with! I will miss being able to pick up the phone and talk with Scot on any issue I had and believe me I had some pretty dumb questions but he ALWAYS took the time to talk and explain things. Troy and I pray for all of you and the family to somehow have the strength to carry on. Though we haven’t had the privlege of knowing you and the rest of the family Scot spoke often of you and his kids and loved all of you very much! Troy and Jill Sanchez
Dear Janice and family, I am late in hearing about Scot’s passing, which has an even greater impact, given the loss of my Mother Rosita on October 13th in Kennewick.
That said, my deepest condolences and sympathy go out to you, and I pray the Father’s Love and gentle hands will surround each of you and give you comfort in these days that are so unsettling.
I remember Scot fondly, and I enjoyed getting to know him more in my journey with him to Dave and Nancy Lykken’s wedding years ago in the Seattle area.
This is indeed a tragic loss in many respects, both for you and the community.
I pray that the Grace you need to handle each day, and to put this into perspective will be yours speedily.
I personally understand that it is a challenge and effort to reach that place, given my own grief regarding my Mother, and now Scot’s passing also.
I send my Love to you, and trust that you will rest in the bosom of the Father’s Love even more so.
Dear Janice and Family,
Much love and prayers to you. I have great memories of working with both of you on your home.
Jay
