Read More	Monty Sonny William Hanson was born to Monte W. and Agatha M. (Ruhl) Hanson on November 3, 1942, at York. He passed away on October 8th, 2019, at the Fairview Manor in Fairmont, at the age of 76 years, 11 months and five days. He was an only child. Sonny attended high school in Exeter and graduated in 1961. After graduation, he started farming with his dad and farmed until retirement in 2004. On January 25, 1964, Sonny married Dianne Perkins, daughter of Kenneth and Erma Perkins, of Fairmont. They were blessed with two children; five grandchildren and three step-grandchildren. As a boy, he traveled with his parents on a custom combining crew from Oklahoma to South Dakota. He was driving a combine by age 10. He loved playing football in high school and later they enjoyed going to Nebraska football and basketball games. He enjoyed attending sales, collecting tokens and loved the casinos. Ice cream and sweets were his weakness, and the grandkids knew he always kept a "candy can" in his pickup and combine. Sonny loved the Exeter community, and was an active member of the Exeter United Church of Christ and served on the church board. He was a hard worker throughout his life and a devoted husband, father and grandfather. Sonny and Dianne loved to travel and have been to all 50 states, Canada and Mexico. After retiring, they enjoyed being "snowbirds" for several winters in Yuma, Ariz. Although he struggled with Parkinson's since 2006, he always kept a positive attitude and continued to travel and attend his grandkid's activities. He is preceded in death by his parents, Monte and Agatha; grandparents, Giles and Anna Hanson and Allie and Theresa Ruhl. He is survived by his loving wife, Dianne; children, JoDeen (Phil) Swartz, Mark and fiance, Angela Farmer; grandchildren, Kelsey, Tyler and Trevor Swartz; Ryen Ann Hanson, Bailey Hanson, Dalton Carter, Aeva and Mason Farmer and by many friends.
