Michael Allen Hansen, of Stephen’s City, VA, passed away on December 20, 2025 in Limeton, VA.
A funeral service will be held on Friday, December 26 at 2:00 p.m. at Maddox Funeral Home with the Rev. Craig Bishop officiating. Interment will follow in the Emerson Walters Cemetery in Fort Valley.
Michael was born on September 21, 1959 in Fort Belvoir, Virginia to the late Bernard and Yvonne Hansen.
Michael is survived by his beloved wife, Judith Bowen-Hansen; and his greatest pride and joy, his son, Joshua Hansen, who could nearly always be found by his side. Their bond was unmistakable and defined much of Michael’s life and happiness. He is also survived by his sisters, Pamela Coates, Rebecca Hansen, Cynthia Plauger (Charlie), and Jennifer Groom; his brother, Jeffrey Hansen (Mary); his uncle, John Thompson (Barbara); and many nieces and nephews who will miss his warmth, humor, and generosity.
In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his brothers, Joseph and Stephen Hansen; and his nieces, Teresa Hansen Burke and Christine Carter.
Mike was a man of many talents. He had a remarkable ability to fix almost anything and generously helped others with his skills. An excellent cook, Mike showed his affection for his family through the dishes he made with care and love. He was also an extraordinary storyteller, entertaining listeners with tales that reflected his humor, charm and keen observations of life.
Mike found deep joy in the outdoors, especially hunting and fishing, and treasured his bi-annual family trips to Nags Head, which created memories his family will long cherish. Michael will be remembered for his steadfast love for his family, his capable hands, and his generous spirit. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
Pallbearers will be Lee Wood, Doug Rutz, David Fristoe, Stevie Henry, Mason Hullihen and Zipper Snipes.
The family will receive friends on Friday, December 26 from 1-2 p.m. at the funeral home.
RIP Mike u will be missed by your family and friends 🙏
Judy and Josh I am really truly sorry for the passing of Mike. When I received the news that Mike had passed my heart sank. All of ya’ll Jen, Cindy, Becky, Pam, Jeff, Charlie, kids and grandkids, are like family to me and my heart is so heavy right now. I pray that God gives all of Mike’s family and friends the strength they will need to carry out the rest of their own journey without him by there side physically, but spiritually know that he is walking right beside all of you everyday. And you all will see him again one day, but until then you have the memories to carry with you each and every day. Mike you will be missed by everyone for your kindness, your generosity, and your friendship, that you showed everyday to your friends and family. May your family find peace at the end of the day knowing that you are now one of the many guardian angels watching and protecting them everyday. You are gone, but you will never be forgotten.
my deepest sympathy for you and your family. !

Mike was a huge part of my childhood. When my grandfather Saul Robinson would bring me to Skyline Caverns, Mike always had the time for a hyperactive little kid. I can still remember him climbing into the miniature train’s “engine” and letting me ride along for 2 or 3 trips with the customers.
Whether Mike knew it or not, he instilled in me the idea that a little know-how and ingenuity went a long way in being able to repair things on one’s own. He was such an important part of the Skyline Caverns family, and he was a good influence to so many young people he mentored. Though the years have separated us, Mike’s passing still feels like losing a family member.
Love, sympathy, and prayers from the Robinson and Johnson families
