I am truly shocked and saddened to have just recently learned of Dr. Hanway’s passing. He really was a wonderful doctor—I have nothing but fond memories of him throughout my scoliosis treatment! Dr. Hanway was so incredibly kind and helpful to my family and I as we navigated a challenging time in my young life, almost 20 years ago. Even as I’m about to turn 30 years old, I still remember how he made things much easier to understand and overcome. I am forever grateful to have been one of his patients! My life would have been very different had I not received such excellent care. I hope his family has found comfort in knowing that he made a difference in the lives of many. May he rest in peace. Sending my deepest condolences to all. ❤️

Dear Dr. Hanway,
I cant believe it’s already been 5 years since we’ve (people who knew him) known him. I’ve missed you more than words can be explained, Dr. Hanway. Every time i go to Children’s National Hospital or replace praying with mediation for my loss loved ones - i think of you so often. Whenever I replace praying with meditation, I always pray for you and my other loss loved ones that I knew (no matter how well I knew them 🥺) and idk how to explain the feelings i get whenever praying for them. I still can’t believe it was a long time since my parents and I didn’t see you, since your unexpected death happened 🥺🥺🥺 and we didn’t find out til sometime in 2019 (if I remember correctly) 😢🥺
Dr. Tosi told me that you did great with the surgeries in my childhood, and you really did! I will get the figure 8 out sometime this summer (I think) since they bother me whenever you pressed on them. Heard it’s an easy surgery from other XLH patients that are also on that Facebook group :) Dr. Hanway, thank you so much for taking great care of me, from the bottom of my heart!!!
Dr. Hanway, I will continue to pray for you and your family. I know you are proud of your kids, your wife, and everyone else from the bottom of my ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏 I learned to believe in God, to have a relationship with God, learned how to pray to Him, etc. And I will continue to grow my relationship with him!!!
This past March 9, it was a hard day for me because of your passing from 3/9/18 🥺🥺

As the years pass the memories of you are oh so near and dear. Some days are still quite hard to get through but then a silly memory will help me to pick myself up and carry on. You touched so many lives in so many ways! Many very purposefully and others without you even knowing. You are an inspiration and I hope to have a life that others will marvel at in even a small way like so many have shared about you! Your kids are such a joy to watch in carrying on your legacy. You would be so proud! You are my angel! We miss you!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I am grateful for Jeff's big smile, great energy, and deep impact on the people around him, especially his beautiful family.
On this anniversary of losing him, I am thinking of you all, Hanway family, and saying a prayer.

Another year has passed and while life goes on , people who touched our lives are always remembered. It's an honor to stop and pause and remember Dr. Hanway who I know is smiling down from Heaven. Stephen is still thriving though he had a tough year medically. Caroline had a bad leg fracture a year ago after falling off a horse. It would have been you we would have gone to for her treatment, but know she was in good hands and is back in the saddle. Keep watching over all your patients. You made a difference.

As so many others have said over the years, Jeff had a way of making me feel seen, encouraged, and valued. Everytime I saw him at church, he seemed excited to see me and talked to me like he had all the time in the world to catch up. I’m so grateful to have known him. Much love to all the Hanways today. Praying for you all. Big love.

Another year has passed and your memory still lives on with my kids. They see Dr. Tosi for bone health and you and that hardware you placed in Stephen's spine still comes up and allowed him to travel all the way to the Smokey Mountains! Caroline graduated and has a horse! After a recent fall, she is getting great treatment for her fractured tibia, but we do miss you. You would still hate her shoes! Thank you for the great foundation you gave to them!
