Terry Lynn Hansen, the son of Darwon and Jean (Shull) Hansen, was born Jan. 28, 1956 at Clarion, Iowa. He graduated from Eagle Grove High School in 1974 and soon moved to Storm Lake. Terry went to work for John Deere at Peterson, Iowa and it was while in Peterson he met Becky Vinsand. The couple were united in marriage on Aug. 13, 1983 at the Faith United Methodist Church in Humboldt and made their home at Royal, Iowa. Terry worked his whole life in the implement business for Massey Ferguson, Maurer Manufacturing, and John Deere.

Terry was a member of the United Methodist Church at Royal. At his home he operated Terry's Putt Putt Painting and took great pride in his many tractor restorations and Damion loved to go for rides with "Papa" on his creations. He also enjoyed fishing, spending time with his friends, and his involvement at the Clay County Fair. In lieu of flowers, the Terry Hansen Memorial Fund has been established at the Home State Bank in Royal.
