Teddy Hansard

Teddy Hansard, 80, of Caldwell TX, passed away in a car accident on August 1, 2026 in Rockdale, TX.  A memorial service will take place at Calvary Baptist Church in Caldwell on August 29, 2026 at 11:00 am.

Family and friends are invited to his graveside service at 10:00 a.m. Saturday, September 19, 2026, at Hughes Springs Cemetery under the direction of Reeder-Davis Funeral Home in Hughes Springs.

Born on January 30, 1946 in Brady, TX to Lionel Keith Agar Clements Hansard and Mary Catherine Watson Hansard, he was a star athlete in high school, served with honor in the Army, and enjoyed a life-long career as a skilled carpenter.  He retired from LeTourneau University in Longview, Texas after working in various roles in their maintenance department for over 20 years.  He was a devout follower of Jesus, and served his church and community faithfully and selflessly, whether it was by singing in the choir, teaching Sunday school, working with the children and youth ministries, leading Sunday services and calling bingo at the local nursing home, leading college student mission trips at LeTourneau, or just helping out friends, family and neighbors with building and repair projects.

Teddy is survived by his beloved wife Marion, his daughters Jean Stanford (Ronald) and Elisabeth Hansard (Micheal Singleton); his grandchildren Andrew Bonham, Michael Bonham, Mary Askey (Ben), and Chloe Turney (Collin); and great grandchildren Marcellus Askey and one Turney on the way, along with many other family members and friends who will all miss him very much.

Teddy was a joy and shone brightly the light of Jesus.  His deep love of the Lord and his fellow man, his sense of humor and fun, and his wisdom were a gift to all who knew him.
