Jason Keith Hansen was born on October 18, 1974 in Redwood City and passed away November 4, 2025 in Fortuna. 

Jason was a fun, loving guy, always up for adventure and making memories with friends and family growing up part-time in the Bay Area and the rest of the time in McCloud, Jason had the opportunity to experience childhood and adolescence in two completely ways. He made many cherished friends from both places. Jason never met a stranger, and was loved and admired by everyone he met. 

Jason married the love of his life, Bridie Sights, on July 7, 1999 in Reno. Shortly after getting married, Jason and Bridie relocated to the Bay Area, where they welcomed Erica and Erin, completing their family of four. After 11 years in the Bay Area, the family relocated to Eureka and later Fortuna, where they made their forever home. 

Jason worked for Target in Eureka for 10 years until he was diagnosed with stage four colorectal cancer in January 2023. Jason fought his battle with strength, courage and dignity, defying odds many times, and he was able to hear the words that his scans were clear the day before he passed of a sudden cardiac event. 

Jason joined his grandparents, Lloyd and Lois Hansen, Frank and Lois Cates, Thelma, Hoops, mother-in-law Janice Sights, and his precious dog Belle in Heaven.  He leaves behind his wife Bridie, daughters Erica(Cody) and Erin, his Mother, Linda Ayers of Carlotta, Father Gary (Marleen) of Weed,  Sister Julie(Jose), Nephews Ben (Erika), Sam (Brianna), Adam and Niece Elizabeth (Cameron). 

He also leaves behind uncles and aunts Larry (Jean), Darryl (Rosie) and Carolyn (Bill), along with many cousins. 

Jason will be interned in a private service at the Pioneer cemetery in Fortuna, followed by a celebration of life at a following date. The family would like to think the care team at Saint Joseph’s Oncology, Redwood Memorial Hospital, and UC Davis for giving amazing care and compassion to him as he fought cancer.
