Our little boy and baby brother, Jake Michael Hansen, returned to his Heavenly Father Tuesday morning after a valiant seven month fight in the NICU. Jake passed peacefully in the arms of his mother and father while surrounded by loved ones.  Jake was born March 18th, 2011 weighing only 15 ounces and his little heart just couldn’t keep up with his amazing spirit.  Jake was the star of the NICU, where nurses learned early how big of a fighter and sweetheart he was.  Jake defied all odds from the minute he was born and taught everyone around him the true meaning of faith and love.  He loved being cuddled by his mom and dad and sung to by his big brother and sister.  He loved being dressed up, holding and playing with his stuffed animals, and being read to.

Jake is survived and remembered by his mom and dad, Rory and Cari Hansen, and his big brother and sister, Cayden and Brooklyn.  He will also be remembered by both sets of his loving grandparents, Lynn and Janet Walkenhurst (South Jordan) and Grant and Janet Hansen (Mayfield), his uncles Kevin Walkenhurst, Kasey Walkenhurst (Devyn) and Kyle Hansen (Karen). He was extremely loved by all of his Nurses, Respiratory Therapists and Doctors who have become part of our family.

At this time we would like to thank everyone who has loved Jakey and has helped make the past seven months as special of an experience as it could ever be. We feel blessed to have had the privilege to share countless memories with our little angel and with the people who loved and took care of him.

A viewing will be held for everyone to get to come meet our precious little angel at Walker Mortuary, 187 South Main Street in Spanish Fork on Friday the 21^st from 7 – 9 pm. A second viewing will be held Saturday morning at the Loafer View Chapel at 1129 South 250 West in Salem from 9:45 to 10:45, after which the funeral service will take place at 11:00.  A tribute page has been set up at www.walkerfamilymortuary.com if you would like to leave a message for our family there. Also you can leave a message on Jake’s blog at www.babyjakehansen.blogspot.com.

We would like to extend the wish that in lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Utah Valley Regional Medical Center NICU. They saved our baby’s life and made it possible for us to have countless special memories that will last a lifetime.
