Just to let our extended Viper family know, Jon Hansen (former President of our Viper region) passed away last night from cancer. Jon was the face of Oklahoma City Fire Department after the Murrah Federal Building bombing in OKC 1995. Chief Hansen was a well respected fire service leader, not only within the Oklahoma City Fire Department, but throughout the state and nation. His positive influence will be missed, but the impact he made on those who knew him will be a permanent one. His contagious, positive demeanor truly touched many hearts and lives over the years.
Jon retired after serving 26 years as an Oklahoma City firefighter. He was the executive director of Oklahoma’s Council of Firefighter Training at the time of his death.
Besides being a total “Viperholic” and “Trackrat” he was a great father of three Great children and our thoughts, support and prayers are with them as they go through this difficult time.
Jon will be Greatly missed in our Viper community, please keep him and his family in your prayers.
