Bike Racer, Kevin Hanson, 64, Makes His Final Pass
Another of our Oahe Speedway Racing Family has passed.
Please keep the Hanson family in your thoughts and prayers
Kevin R. Hanson
Dec 15, 1961 — Oct 11, 2026
Kevin Hanson was born December 15, 1961 in Sioux Falls, SD to James M. and Karen J. (Smith) Hanson. He died October 11, 2026 at his home in Viborg, SD following a courageous battle with cancer at the age of 64.
Kevin was raised on a farm in the Beresford area with his three siblings where he shared many memories with his family. He then graduated from Beresford High School and began farming with his brother, Stuart. They eventually began trucking and owned K&S Hanson Trucking together, and hauled livestock. Over time his brother bought him out, but he continued trucking and helping on the farm for the majority of his life. Briefly, Kevin also hauled water and oil in the oil fields of western North Dakota.
He was blessed in life with three children, Josh, Stephanie, and Michael, with Crissy Mullinix; and a stepdaughter, Alyssa, with Amy Hanson. He loved spending time with his family. Among the things he knew he would miss most was the joy of watching his grandchildren grow. He loved all of his friends and could talk to anybody. When he wasn’t working, you could find him drag racing motorcycles or shooting guns. Many Hanson family gatherings involved shooting guns. He was passionate about teaching and experiencing the art of drag racing with his sons and built a community of dear friends through this passion.
Kevin is survived by his children and grandchildren, Josh (Samantha) Hanson of Brandon, SD and their children, Landon, Jaxton and Liam; Stephanie (David) Cullis of Ronan, MT and their children, Everett and Mavis; Michael (Kaitlyn) Hanson of Tea, SD and their children, Millie and soon to be born baby boy Hanson; and his stepdaughter, Alyssa (Chris) Chase of Sioux Falls. Also surviving is his father, James Hanson of Winner, SD; brothers, Blane Hanson of Viborg, SD and Stuart (Tamara) Hanson of Beresford; many nephews, one niece and all of his friends. Kevin is preceded in death by his mother, Karen Hanson and sister, Lisa Shippy.
Funeral services will be 10AM Saturday, October 17, 2026 at Skrefsrud Lutheran Church, 46920 292nd St, Beresford, SD 57004 with burial to follow at the church cemetery. Visitation will be 4-6PM Friday, Oct. 16 th at Wass Funeral Home in Beresford with a 6PM prayer service.
