A life well lived and one which represented Christ to the world!

Many memories of Jeff during our college days at NNU flood my mind. Not only did we play four years of soccer together, we were roommates our senior year, Jeff was a groomsman in our wedding, but we did life together during those formative years of undergraduate school. Jeff was a true friend.

Peggy and I send our prayers and deepest condolences to Libby, the kids, and all his extended family. We both celebrate a life well lived and we certainly grieve with you.

We will miss our "brother" and his faith is a great testimony for us all to consider.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Dr Hanway. He was a kind face and a skilled surgeon who contributed a lot to my GW ortho residency training. As much as his colleagues and patients grieve the loss, I cannot imagine the hole this leaves for his family. He was a very special guy- my sincere condolences.

Dr. Hanway was an incredible teacher and physician. I had the privilege of working with him and will be a better provider (when I finish NP school) because of my time working with and learning from him. I loved how you could tell when he had a mischievous thought—-he got this twinkle in his eye and you knew a funny joke/thought was soon to follow. When I left PSV to start school, he told me he would see me in the ortho clinic at Children’s when I finished my PNP program. I’m still in shock that he’s gone. On Monday mornings (when he could get especially punchy about computers not wanting to work properly) all someone had to do was ask about weekend adventures with Libby and the kids and his punchiness quickly changed to love and pride. He always spoke of his family with such genuine love and admiration. My heart hurts for his family and his patients affected by this terrible tragedy. He had such a heart for children (especially the medically fragile) I know Jesus met Dr. Hanway at the pearly gates and said, “Well done, good and faithful servant”
Praying peace on his family’s hearts during this time. Fly high Dr. Hanway—I hope heaven has a never ending supply of Mountain Dew for you.

As an anesthesiologist at Children’s I am honored to have worked so closely with Jeff all these years. He was an exemplary physician in and out of the operating room. Patients and families loved him for his calm attitude, vibrant energy and reassuring smile, and so did we. He was a fantastic colleague and a role model for many. Of course, he was passionate about his work, but his family was everything; not a day went by when he did not talk about Libby’s exotic trips to Africa or about the kids’ latest sporting events, travels or scholarly accomplishments. He was so proud of all of you. Please accept my most heartfelt condolences.

So very sorry to hear of Dr. Hanway's passing. He was one of our most trusted healthcare providers for our daughter. I know that other parents in my Down syndrome parent group feel the same. Our sympathies to the family.

I only knew Jeff through work, but he was my go-to for all my kid's McLean teammates for any injury. Jeff and I talked soccer all the time at CNMC, and I will miss that very much. A wake-up call for all of us docs to live life to its fullest, indeed life is just too short.

I am so saddened to hear of the sudden loss of our friend and HMS classmate Jeff. I will always remember his warmth, smile and poise. Jeff was a calming force in the storm. He made our class a better class and the world a better world. With deepest sympathy.

Libby, my deepest sympathies are with you in this difficult time.I could barely imagine how difficult it is for you to carry such burden. It’s quite hard to say words that can ease the pain of the grieving heart, but please know that your family is in my prayers.

May God continue to comfort and give you the strength to carry on.

Please have my deep sympathy. My prayers are for the entire family. Please read this poem by David Harkins (1981).

He Is Gone
You can shed tears that he is gone
Or you can smile because he has lived

You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left

Your heart can be empty because you can't see him
Or you can be full of the love that you shared

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday

You can remember him and only that he is gone
Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on

You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
Or you can do what he would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

My deepest sympathies to the Hanway family. May his legacy and Soul live on forever. May he he be greeted with the Riches of Heaven and that he be imbraced with unconditional love from his angels.

You will be sorely missed Dr. Hanway. Your smile, your medical aptitude and kindness were unparalleled.

I personally will miss our shared stories and funny debates on technology and excersice philosophy. I pray that you give your family strength as they help you transition from a physical life to an Eternal life.

May all the love, compassion, and strength surround the Hanway family in this time.

Jeff was so committed to family friends and his community. He and Libby were at all events for their children, despite their rigorous careers. They also encouraged their children to celebrated family events with others. Sophia joined Mike for his 72nd birthday, a twinkle in his eye he was grateful for her time that evening.

What a loss to this world. We are so sad and still very hard to process. Libby and the kids are strong in faith, perseverance and grounded in practical ways. Time will heal, but a gaping hole will always exist. We love you Jeff and please rest at peace knowing we (the community) are always here for Libby, Sasha, Tori, Christian and Sophia. Your family is a hallmark of your character!

1982, Rock Springs, WY, USA

Jeff was a college classmate but even more than that. We were survivors along with my roommate Lorri Wirth. In June 1982, we left Nampa ID following finals week with plans to drive all night and reach Denver in time to play volleyball at Washington Park. We didn't make it to Denver to play, but fortunately we arrived alive.

Outside of Rock Springs, WY we were in an accident and rolled 2 1/2 times. Those were the days before we wore seat belts.

We had to leave Lorri in the hospital while Jeff and I took a Greyhound bus to Denver. We looked like we had been in a fight. It was a bit scary to have Lorri's dad meet us at the bus station. You see Jeff fell asleep at the wheel and then overcorrected after we woke up and started yelling.

Lorri made it home in a few days. However, we lost her to a horse riding accident two years later.

I am so thankful for the life well lived by Jeff and always thought our trip from Idaho to Colorado was a reminder to live life to the fullest.

My prayer is that his family and friends strive to live a full life.

Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
