Sgt Robert “Scott” Hanna
1962-2019
Scott lost a short but heroic battle with cancer on November 2, 2019. Gone to soon but never forgotten. Predeceased by his mother Arlene Hanna, Scott leaves behind his wife Dawn Parlby, stepchildren Kendall DeVries (Kyle Petrik) and Gabrielle Parlby, his father David Hanna (Doreen Todd), sister Dawn (Mark) Kuzemski, nephew Cole Pethybridge, niece Lara Pethybridge, and favorite Aunt Faye Acton.
Scott devoted most of his life to the Royal Canadian Airforce. He spent 39 years in service to his country as an AVN technician, recruiter and too many other roles to mention. He was deployed to Haiti, Kosovo, Africa and other countries in need throughout his service. His belief was that although he couldn’t change the past, he would try to change the future.
Much love and respect to the 408 Squadron Edmonton and 410 Squadron Cold Lake who held him dear as their brother in arms, friend and associate. A memorial service will be held for Scott at the 408 Squadron the second week of December, exact date to be announced. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Scott’s name to Valour Place, North Edmonton
My deepest condolences to the family. Scott and I were very good friends when I lived in Edmonton. He always had kind words, ready and willing to help those in need of kind words and truly wore his heart on his sleeve. Scott will be missed by everyone whose heart he touched.

Oh this is such a shock, I only spoke to Scott once in the last couple years….my condolences to his friends and family. We go way back to the late 80’s and I remember so many good times and so much fun. Scott was always looking out for the people he cared about. He was a great guy, a bit serious at times but a good heart. This is very sad.

I met Scott when I first got to the Squadron in 2000, and had the pleasure of coming back to spend time with him twice more at 408 THS after my initial tour. He was a constant and great presence, a sage mentor for all ranks, and just great company – someone you wanted to be around and have around. He will be missed.
