JEFF HANSEN LEAVES
WHYTE WIDOW FOREVER!

I am torn about whether I should post this or not but people have been asking for years what happened with Jeff and I always meant to put this all together. Today I finally decided to do it.

Jeff was my bass player, my best friend and my brother from a different mother! We had the same goals and ideas on life and we were going to make it to the top and we were on our way!

We had just hired a new drummer, Gary Banks, and things were going good. We had a few gigs under our belt and everybody got along great. We were getting ready to leave for L.A. to be part of the metal scene there. We just knew that we could get a record deal as they were signing bands left and right!

Then this happened! I was sitting at John Forbes (vocalist) house when we got a call from Kaye, Jeff's girlfriend, about 6pm.

She said he and Ed Sabota (our ex-drummer) were in a motorcycle crash but it wasn't that bad and that we should meet care flight at the hospital. I was only a few blocks from there so I rushed over there to find that they had both already arrived there.

It is sad so don't view it if you don't want to know and just want to remember the Jeff Hansen memories you have.

 

Jefferson Christian Hansen
July 28, 1965 - June 9, 1987
 

Jeff was a musician's musician. In the end he was always practicing getting better and better at the bass while the rest of us we're partying. It took me years to figure out why Jeff was taken from us so young...but that is just my opinion so I will keep it to myself!
