Bob Hensley Dan Blue Abc Regulations 1994 Nc
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dan Hensley.
Daniel Jon Hensley, 55, passed suddenly Dec. 20, 2016, in Kalispell from sadness.
Dan was born on the beautiful summer day of Aug. 13, 1961, in Kalispell to Jack and Connie (McCown) Hensley, and was greeted with delight by his older brother Mark, who was awaiting his arrival at their home on First Avenue West, at the house with the welcoming red door.
Dan was baptized, received his first communion and married at Bethlehem Lutheran Church where he was a lifetime member.
Dan attended Hedges Elementary School. Kalispell's east side is where he spent most of his life and owned his first home. His first-grade classroom was directly across the street from the house where his mother was born. His childhood was spent playing baseball in the east-side fields, swimming and ice skating in the beauty of Woodland Park and making precious memories with his family and friends. Love filled the Hensley home and life was lived to the fullest.
Summer days on Swan Lake and Flathead Lake with family were the highlight of the years. Dan loved the water … he loved the freedom of skiing and being at the water's edge. He especially loved Flathead Lake and all the fun and laughter it created. During the fall seasons of his teen years, Dan spent time grouse hunting and fly fishing with his father, grandfather and brother, and elk hunting with his uncle Gary in the Bob Marshal Wilderness. Life was big, it was exciting for him, and mostly it was interesting. He was taught many life skills through the wonderful men in his life. Freedom was felt, and life was full of possibilities.
Dan graduated from Flathead High School in 1980, enjoying football, basketball and track. He was the starting running back his senior year for the Braves. He accomplished many goals, and he was respected and admired by his peers. During his senior year he earned his private pilot's license, and shared wonderful stories of his flights. He was selected for Montana's Boys State his junior year, and earned the Greg Little award his freshmen year.
His passion for snow skiing and golf carried throughout his life. He loved the good camaraderie of Thursday golf outings with the boys and the friendships it grew, and he enjoyed golfing with his dad, his son and sisters too. He was a wonderful support to his family, and was so helpful in their endeavors and was thrilled to see his son, Christian, excel in basketball and football, and to see Chloe find a passion in running track, and in growing to be a fine young lady.
Dan graduated from the University of Montana in 1984, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration degree. His time at UM was highlighted by his Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity brothers, and meeting friends and family throughout his life at the Grizzly football and basketball games.
He was employed by the Valley Bank of Kalispell for over 31 years. Dan was a sound, conservative businessman and loved serving his customers. He was a member of the Buffalo Hill Golf Course, a member of the University of Montana Alumni Association, a member of the SAE Fraternity, and served on various community associations throughout his lifetime.
In 1994 Dan married Sonya Wendt and welcomed lovingly their two precious children, Chloe Danielle in 1998, and Christian Maxwell in 2001.
The family loved to vacation together and spent many days together on Flathead Lake. Sonya loved Dan deeply. The love they shared throughout their 22 years of marriage kept evolving in activity and adventure. Their Canadian trip was a highlight, a very special time for her where Dan encouraged her to try something new by putting on fishing gear and casting! They loved adventure.
One of Chloe's fondest memories with her dad was time over a special dinner where they shared favorite times together and memories of the past … and they laughed and laughed! She loved her dad. His charisma and personality will be cherished. Christian especially enjoyed all the love and support of his father's embrace, whether in his athletic endeavors, or teaching him the life skills that will carry him through his own adulthood. Dan was a proud father and he was loved by his children. He encouraged the love of sports from skiing and basketball, to the simple joys of learning to a drive boat. His life will be cherished.
Dan will be sweetly remembered for his gentle soul, his witty sense of humor and his desire to live life full of compassion and kindness. His parents loved him so much, as we all did. He will be deeply missed.
Dan was preceded in death by his parents, Jack and Connie in 2011; his grandparents, Acil "Ace" and Buenetta (Siblerud) McCown, and Logan and Hazel (Brown) Hensley; and his uncle, Gary Robinson.
Dan's memory will be cherished by his wife Sonya of 22 years; his children, Chloe, Christian and Laken (from a previous relationship, husband Jeff Anderson and son Mason); his older brother Mark (Michelle), his sisters, Jane, Jean (Brent Estep) and Joan (Joe Brennan); his uncle Bob Hensley and family, Chuck and Karla Werk, in-laws Rod and Ilo Wendt; nieces and nephews, Logan, Ryan, Jackson, Emiley, Jesee, Katherine, Christine, Caroline, Kathleen, Jack, George, Kaitlyn, Molly, and numerous Siblerud and McCown cousins and family, including his Aunt Diane (McCown) and Uncle Bob McGwier, Aunt Paula (McCown/Robinson) and Jeff Little, and their children and families, Holly McGwier Butcher, Rob McGwier, Beth Ann Leonardo, Kristen Waggener, Rebecca Robinson and Melissa Smith.
A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 27, at Bethlehem Lutheran Church, the day Dan's parents were married at the church 58 years ago. An open house reception to honor Dan will begin at 4 p.m. at Buffalo Hill Golf Course.
A memorial fund has been established at Valley Bank of Kalispell to help others in need.
