He had just turned 43 years of age. Scott was born November 13, 1975 in Santa Barbara, California to Bruce and Georgia Hannel. He was a cherished baby, loved by his whole family, especially his big brother, Bruce Jr. When he was two, they moved to Eureka, Ca. The move (much to his regret as he grew older) did provide him with the chance to love the beauty and wonder of the ocean and the redwoods of the great northwest. He held that love throughout his short life. Scott attended and graduated from local schools. After high school, he traveled to southern California and Texas experiencing life, women, and work. He returned to Eureka working various jobs settling for HSU Activities and as a self-employed handyman. About this time he met his best friend, Aaron Maples. Also fell in love and married Racheal Leggans. After a few years, Scott and Racheal moved to her hometown of Carbondale, Illinois, settling in and buying a home and property in Murphysboro, Il. He ended his work career as a driver for the U.S. Post Office delivering mail between post offices in southern Illinois. Scott was a loving and loyal person with a wonderful personality who maintained friendships from high school such as Nephi Blackmon and Dave Cunningham. His mother will forever miss his wonderful hugs and the love and special friendship they had for one another. He is preceded in death by his beloved father Bruce M. Hannel, Sr. Images Scott Hannel
