Lynn Allen Hansel was born September 21, 1961 in Manchester, IA, the son of Eugene and Merle (Kellogg) Hansel. He grew up in Garber, IA and moved to the Martelle area in the late 1970's. He was united in marriage to Linda Marie Angell on November 5, 1988 in Anamosa. She died in 2015. He was employed as an auto mechanic and worked at Theisen's, Stickel Farms, Goodyear, and Wilken Automotive Services, all in Anamosa.

He enjoyed hunting, fishing, riding four wheelers, cutting wood, and, being a real gear head, anything that had to do with fast cars. Above all else he loved spending time with his family and friends.

He is survived by his sons Timothy (Jackie), Mechanicsville, Josh (Torrie), Lisbon, Jake, Martelle, and a step-son Will, Burlington, several grandchildren, his siblings Barb Moser, Bobby, and Glen, and a brother-in-law Nick Lewin, as well as by many nieces and nephews.

In addition to his wife Linda, he was preceded in death by his parents and siblings Roger, Laverle, and Jeanette.
