Paul Mahlin Hansen

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Paul Mahlin Hansen, born on October 13, 1928 in Salt Lake City, Utah and passed away on October 17, 2023 in Saanichton, British Columbia.

Paul was an accomplished man, a lawyer, professor, judge and chartered accountant.

He was a passionate and driven individual who loved to work on projects.

Over the years he also enjoyed spending time with his dogs, tending his flower garden, painting, and visiting his cows.

One of my favorite memories of him is when he found a nest of quail eggs, went and bought an incubator and all the little chicks that hatched followed him round the yard in single file. He was a true animal lover.

Paul loved his wife Marie of 68 years more than anything, his two daughters Jane Hansen and Liz Turner, his 4 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren.

We extend our gratitude to our friends and caregivers Plerie Patnon and David Williams for helping us care for our parents. Thank you Plerie for your continued friendship and dedication to our family, and to David for your unwavering friendship to Paul and our family. We could not imagine going through this journey without you both.

We ask you to please visit Paul's tribute wall and maybe listen to his favorite song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqhCQZaH4Vs while you look through his pictures and reflect on his life.

Paul will be deeply missed and forever in our hearts.
