Hansen, Delbert Loyal
Delbert Loyal Hansen 1926 ~ 2005 God saw he was getting tired, And a cure was
not to be, So He put His arms around our Dad And whispered, "Come with me."
With tearful eyes we watched him suffer, And saw him fade away, Although we
loved him dearly, We could not make him stay, A golden heart stopped beating,
Hardworking hands to rest; Although it broke our hearts to let him go, It's
time now for our Dad to rest Delbert Loyal Hansen, 78, died of cancer, April
13, 2005, at his home in Smithfield surrounded by his family. Loyal was born
October 26, 1926, in Redmond, Utah, to Delbert and Nora Brunson Hansen. He
graduated from North Sevier High School in 1944. After two years in the Navy,
serving in the Mediterranean during World War II, he returned home to attend
Utah State College. There he met and married his biology lab partner, Belva
Lou McArthur, in the Salt Lake Temple, August 18, 1948. Loyal served in the
Army Reserve and as a security guard at Dugway Proving Grounds in the early
years of their marriage. He later worked as a Soil Conservationist---planning
watershed projects and working with the farmers in the valley. Loyal lived an
active life in the outdoors close to God's creations-hiking, camping, fishing
throughout Utah and teaching family and scouts outdoor survival. Special
passions learned in his youth included; horse back riding, dairy farming,
caring for livestock, raising turkeys, harvesting eggs, and growing an
enviable garden. His lifetime love of Bear Lake's beauty led him to spend many
weekends, at the family's Bear Lake cabins, playing with grandchildren and
sharing campfire stories. Loyal's life was defined by hard work.-wasting time
was not a part of his mortal experience. Although he loved to work and taught
his children its value, he always had time for people. Loyal, a member of The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day-Saints, served as Executive Secretary,
Home Teacher, Sunday School president and Scout Master. He heightened the
scouting experience by teaching the boys to lash a thirty foot tower in the
back yard--cutting and peeling the poles and making the rope. He designed and
custom built pine wood derby tracks. He taught at Jamborees and introduced
Indian dancing to his troops. Known as "The Rabbit Man", he shared his love of
rabbits with all. Three generations of Smithfield residents learned of pigeons
and rabbits from "Mr. Hansen". Sensitive to the beautiful home our earth
provides--he instructed his scouts, children and grandchildren to always leave
things better than they found them. He used the earth for 78 years and left
everyplace he went better than he found it. Loyal is survived by his wife,
Belva, and children: Meridene (Eric) Lindsey, Dell Loy (Lynnette) Hansen,
Randy (Leslie) Hansen, Denise (Dan) Magda, 20 grandchildren, six
great-grand-children, two sisters: Olive (Ivan) Watts, and Gereldine Hobbs. He
