Daniel Paul "Dan" Hensley

August 12, 1947 ~ October 26, 2023

Daniel "Dan" Paul Hensley passed away peacefully at his home in Bethany, Oklahoma on October 26, 2023.

Dan was married to his beloved wife Sandy for fifty-five years and they resided in Oklahoma for most of their marriage.

Dan, the youngest of three boys, was born on August 12, 1947 in Los Banos, California. He had many jobs in his life, but he was quick to point out that he served the first fish fillet at the new McDonald's at NW 23rd and Penn in Oklahoma City when he was a teenager. Dan earned a degree in business from Oklahoma City University and spent much of his career in financial services.

In a word, Dan was giving. As a young man he served in the Oklahoma National Guard and always had a deep love for his country. Service was a big part of Dan's life whether it was to his family, his church family, or community. Dan was the type of person who was endlessly willing to help people in need.

Dan was a devoted follower of Jesus Christ, and his relationship with the Lord was the most important part of his life. He was passionate about the Bible and worked to spread the Gospel to all the corners of the earth. He read his Bible daily and enjoyed discussing scripture with anyone who would listen.

Dan was preceded in death by his father, Joseph Hensley; his mother, Hazel Hensley; and his brother, Joseph Hensley Jr.

Dan is survived by his wife, Sandy Hensley; his brother, Lee Hensley; his daughter, Heather Hensley; his son and daughter-in-law, Daniel and Ashley Hensley; his grandson, Isaac; his granddaughter, Ella; and his longtime friend and mentor, Ralph Johnson.
