Magnus James Hans was born March 2, 2020 to Benjamin and Penny (Herzog) Hans in New Ulm. From the moment he was born, Magnus had a contagious smile and giggle that brightened the world. As he grew, he loved playing with trucks, superheroes, and doing anything and everything he could outside. Magnus especially enjoyed causing mischief with his siblings and family, and flashing his classic grin or giggle whenever he was caught in the act. Though his life was filled with many trials and medical hurdles, Magnus persisted with a loving and cheerful personality. He rarely complained or was sad, apart from when he ran out of strawberries and his other favorite snacks. Magnus’s life was deeply treasured by all who knew him and will be missed dearly. We look forward to reuniting with him in heaven, where we know he will be eagerly awaiting us at the door. Blessed be his memory.

Memorials are preferred to the Children’s Hospital of Minnesota or the Ronald McDonald House.
