WALDOBORO — Thomas S. Hansen, 46, of Waldoboro, passed away unexpectedly at his home on April 20, 2023. He was born on December 12, 1976.

Tom worked many different jobs throughout his adult years, the most recent being at N. C. Hunt Lumber in Jefferson.

Tom’s favorite past times included grilling, tinkering in his shed, listening to music at exceedingly loud levels, fishing and spending time with his family. He was recently planning a trip to visit his son and meet his granddaughter. He loved to relax in his recliner and watch the History and Discovery channels, as well as true crime documentaries.

His sense of humor was priceless, as was his loud laugh. He had a deep appreciation (“obsession”) for any and all flashlights.

In February 2017 he met the love of his life, Stephanie Rogers, and spent the last 6 years making memories with her.

He was predeceased by Earl “Sam” Hansen (father); Catherine and Gerald Allen (maternal grandparents); Dorothy and Roger Blake (paternal grandparents); as well as his beloved dog, Lexi.

He is survived by his mother, Suellen Reed of Waldoboro; his 4 brothers, Michael Hansen of Waldoboro, Jared Hansen and wife Heather of Searsmont, Joseph Minoty and fiancé Amelia Pietroski of Rockland, and Joshua Hansen of Seattle, Washington; his fiancé Stephanie Rogers of Waldoboro; his son, Tyler Hansen of North Carolina; his daughter, Annabelle Swearingen of Oxford; 2 step daughters, Desiree McKusic and husband Daigan of Friendship and Zoe Rogers of Waldoboro; 3 grandchildren, Raelynn Hansen of North Carolina and Aubrii and Chevy McKusic of Friendship; his best friend of 36 years, Tim Dodge and his wife Tamiko of Waldoboro; and many nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, and uncles.

The family will hold a private celebration of life at a later date.

Hall’s of Waldoboro has care of the arrangements. To extend online condolences visit their Book of Memories at www.hallfuneralhomes.com.
