Clifford Eugene Hansen, age 82, passed away on December 31, 2025 @ Alanson Acres Active Senior Living Facility of DeLand. He was born on January 27, 1943 in Emporia, Florida to Conrad A Hansen & Charlotte E "Lottie" Simms Hansen. Clifford was a lifetime resident of Pierson and owner of Clifford Hansen Pump Repair. He also spent many years serving with the Pierson Volunteer Fire Department as the Assistant Chief. He was a beloved Daddy and Papa (PopPop). Clifford enjoyed spending time outdoors with hunting, fishing, boating, gardening, riding his Honda GoldWing motorcycles, annual vacations to the Great Smoky Mountains, manning the grill for family cookouts, watching baseball and Westerns, as well as running his heavy equipment (digging holes and clearing trees tended to be his favorites). He was quite the musician and could play any guitar he was handed. He was also quite a history buff and many have described him as a wealth of knowledge about just about anything. Clifford loved his family and his pets (dogs, cats, geese, etc). Clifford is predeceased by his wife of 52 years, Charlotte, two sons (David & Randy Hansen), & 4 grandchildren. He is survived by a son, Gene Hansen of New Smyrna Beach, four daughters - Darlene Hansen & Joyce (John) Bradley of Deland, Joyce Hansen of Daytona Beach, Linda (Shane) Buie of Melrose, 12 grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren, & 2 great, great granddaughters.
