Chuck was born on December 7, 1956 in Moline, the son of Charles A. and Elizabeth Jean (Gordon) Hanson. He was employed in Buffalo, IA as a grain operator. Chuck loved his family and enjoyed his work, which for over thirty years was at the grain-barge loading terminal Cenex Harvest States (CHS) near Buffalo, IA. Another activity was his bike riding on the bike path along the river. The Green Bay Packers were his favorite team for many years. His house was filled with Packer souvenirs. And then there was music. He was deeply into contemporary music his entire life. He grew up with the popular bands of his era, like the Grateful Dead and the WHO. He played their music. He went to their concerts. He became a very accomplished musician, writing his own tunes, playing the bass and guitar and even doing some vocals. He and his drummer brother, Terry Hanson, were in several bands together, starting early on with Moonshine in the 70s. In later years they united with John Harris and Dave Nicholson to form Country Blue. This band was so popular it played twice each weekend for five years at the Fleetwood Tap in Coal Valley and was honored to be the Grand Marshall one year at the Valley Daze parade. Chuck also played in a number of other bands such as Gypsy Blue, Smokehouse and the Hoot Gibson band in venues throughout the Quad cities and nearby communities. Blue Grass music was one of his favorites. He and Dave Maxwell played it a lot, including at the Davenport Farmers' Market. Chuck is survived by his parents, Charles A. and Jean Hanson, Rock Island; daughters, Catrina (Patrick) McGurk, Great Bend, KS, Jessica (Brennan) Seitz, Columbus, KS, and Melissa Knoeferl, Rock Island; grandchildren, Addison and Elsie Seitz, and Daylynn McGurk; siblings, Stephen (Joyce) Hanson, Louisville, KY, Pamela Hanson, Santa Cruz, CA, and Terry (Shelley) Hanson, East Moline; special friend, Dorine Knoeferl; and numerous nieces and nephews. https://www.wheelanpressly.com/obituary/CharlesChuck-Hanson ^ |

Darrell “Buck” Oler 5/21/2018 Darrell “Buck” Rollie Oler II, 61, of Blackfoot, Idaho returned to his heavenly home May 21, 2018. Born in Iowa City, Iowa to Lillian and Darrell Oler on April 12, 1957, Buck was a man respected and loved by many. Our “Papa” as he liked to be called by his grandchildren created a life overflowing with love and laughter with his beloved and eternal wife Cindy by his side every step of the way. As the youngest brother to five older sisters, Buck was always finding ways to help his family through various jobs. He grew to love turning a wrench while working around his family’s taxi cab business, and would use those skills throughout his life. Buck graduated from Cedar Falls High School in 1975, and soon after, with the support of incredible friends, was taught the gospel and was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on October 31, 1976. He always joked he had to go under three times to ensure that his conversion to the restored gospel was complete. After moving to Salt Lake City, Buck met the love of his life while managing a Tunex and wasted no time in making sure that they would be together forever. Buck and Cindy were sealed for time and all eternity in the Idaho Falls, Idaho LDS Temple on September 7, 1979. Soon after, they relocated back to the family farm in Blackfoot. When he wasn’t chasing after his four kids or working on the farm, he spent his spare time in the service of others. He spent many dedicated years to his career in agriculture with Diamond K Gypsum, Horizon Ag, and Bingham Cooperative. Along with working with the local farmers and communities, Buck also managed and owned Buck’s Service Center for many years alongside of his family. It was no surprise to catch him spending his nights working on someone’s vehicle, plowing another’s driveway filled with snow, or lending a listening ear and understanding heart. Buck was overwhelmingly proud of all his children and never missed an opportunity to brag about their accomplishments. He insisted that there was no such thing as in-laws in the Oler family and had many “adopted” children that he welcomed into the family without hesitation. His biggest joy in life was the intense love he had for his grandchildren (Maleah, Kaitlyn, Kamden, Carter, Kalianna, BraLynn, and Kalani) who adored their grandpa beyond measure. He loved spending time outdoors in the mountains of Idaho with his family camping, covering the ATV trails, & snowmachine trails. He loved classic American muscle cars, and any gadget or tool he could find an excuse to use to tinker and build with. He is survived by his loving wife of 38 years, Cindy LaRue Hebdon Oler; and his children; Darrell Marcus (Shylo) Oler, Sara (Clayton) Kappas, Sharon (Nathaniel) Benson, Shanon Oler, Christopher Young; and his many sisters and brothers; Susan (Ron) Hall, Dianna (Don) Finical, Sheila (Steve) Sitterly, Lavonne (Keith) Kearns, Colleen (Jay) Keller, Vicky (Dennis) Winans, James D. Hebdon, Bart (Traci) Hebdon. He is preceded in death by his parents, Darrell Rollie & Lillian Oler, Arlie & Bonnie Hebdon, and two grandchildren (Oaklie Rose Oler & Darrell Paxton Oler). https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/name/darrell-buck-oler-obituary?pid=189089763 https://www.eastidahonews.com/2018/05/blackfoot-man-dies-in-crash-near-utah-idaho-border/ ^ |

Jeff Nelson- added 11/17/2023 1955-1/29/23
Owatonna - Jeffrey E. Nelson of Owatonna passed away peacefully on January 29th, 2023, and will be remembered for his wittiness and sense of humor. He was 67 years old. The youngest of three children, Jeff was born in Cedar Falls, Iowa, in 1955 to Katharine (Bolton) and Robert Nelson. During his childhood years, Jeff enjoyed skateboarding and pole vaulting. When Jeff was a sophomore at Cedar Falls High School, he met and fell in love with his high school sweetheart, Debra, whom he later married. After high school, Jeff moved to Tacoma, Washington; it was during this time that he united in marriage. In the late 1970s, Jeff returned to Cedar Falls to be near his family and eventually started a family of his own. Soon thereafter, in the mid-1980s, Jeff moved to Faribault, Minnesota. In Faribault, Jeff worked at various factories, including Genova, where he worked as a die setter for nearly a decade. He enjoyed the intricacies of machinery and had a brain for problem-solving. After residing in Faribault for many years, Jeff moved to Owatonna to be near his eldest daughter and her family. Jeff loved life and everything about it. In his younger years, he enjoyed riding Harley Davidsons and would bring his daughters to school on his FLH (wearing helmets, of course!). Jeff also appreciated rock and roll, especially the Rolling Stones. He used to blast KQRS through his Bose speakers every morning, singing along to the tunes; Jeff had the best singing voice. In addition to music and motorcycles, Jeff liked fishing with his friends and grandchildren. He had many friends that he enjoyed spending time with, as he was friendly in nature. He was also an excellent cook and took pleasure in experimenting with recipes and cooking meals for his family; some of his favorite meals to cook included hot beef commercials and Minnesota stew. He was also known to make a mean grilled cheese and would often cook grilled cheeses for his children and their friends. Later in life, Jeff loved shooting Nerf guns with his great-grandchildren, who would call him \"GG\" (for great-grandpa). A man of many talents and interests, Jeff always found appreciation in life. He will be remembered as a loving father, husband, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend who has a great sense of humor and gentle kindness. Soft-spoken and witty, Jeff lived a life full of love and adventure. He genuinely made people feel good by loving them unconditionally and accepting them as they were. Jeff will also be remembered for his resilience and tenacity. A legend in his own right, he lived through not one, but two, cardiac arrests: one in 2017 and one in 2021 - each survival its own miracle. And those who knew Jeff were not surprised by this because his ability to push through adversity was just a part of who he was.He is survived by his high school sweetheart and wife of 47 years, Debra; his two daughters, Fawn (and Jake) Fuller of Owatonna and Fran (and Titus) Kennedy of Saint Paul; his two siblings, John (and Lise) Nelson of Moravia, Iowa, and Shelley (and Doug) Weltruski of Cedar Falls, Iowa; his grandchildren Nichelle (and Cory Rosacker), Josh, Jarod, and Katherine Fuller; great-grandchildren and playmates Grayson, Iris, and Osiris; and many nieces and nephews.He will be dearly missed.A celebration of Jeff's life well lived will be taking place on Monday, February 6th, from 3-6 pm at the Crooked Pint Ale House located at 125 1st Ave NE, Faribault, MN. All are welcome to attend to join in celebrating Jeff's life and his transition to the afterlife. ^ |
