The Reverend Kenneth Ernest Louis Hansen was called to God on 23 April 2022 in Lindenhurst, Illinois. Ken was born 5 November 1936 in Chicago to Kenneth and Anne (Bartels) Hansen, the older brother of four sisters. Despite an early ambition to be an archaeologist, in his late teens he felt drawn to ministry. He served his vicarage at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Wauwatosa, WI and graduated from Concordia Theological Seminary in St. Louis in 1964. He graduated from Union Theological Seminary in Manhattan, NY in 1965, and was ordained on 27 June 1965.

After his retirement in 2001, he moved back to Illinois where he supported the congregation at Lord of Glory Lutheran Church in Grayslake during two vacancies and was made Pastor Emeritus. Ken had a big heart, big enthusiasm, and big energy which shone through in every facet of life. He was a lover of old things and new ideas. His ministry will be remembered through his creative use of the dramas and skits he wrote, multimedia sermons, advent events, and his portrayal of religious figures, most notably St. Nicholas. During his spare time he collected stamps, listened to operas, classical music and show tunes, roasted and ground his own coffee, built paper models, and even made his own paper. However, his greatest joy was travel. His love for travel began as a teenager when he backpacked across Europe, where he was hospitalized with meningitis in Austria for many weeks. His travels, enhanced by his skill and love of learning new languages, brought him to all seven continents, including far-flung locations like Antarctica, Botswana, Australia, the Falkland Islands, the Galapagos, Russia, Israel, and India.
