Mr. Dameone Lamar Rodriguez "Pookie " Hanson

On May 18, 1980, a one-pound, strong, and courageous fighter graced the earth, inheriting his skills from his parents, Lora Ann Hunter and Donnie Ray Hanson (Linda). His parents decided to name the baby boy Dameone Lamar R. Hanson. Emphasizing “The one” as the first-born child as well as a grandchild/great-grandchild to both families. He fought his way through an extensive hospital stay. The six-month-old champ was welcomed home by his maternal great-grandparents and aunt who cared for him throughout his toddler years. Dameone’s paternal grandmother fought for her rights to be a part of his life chapter by chapter. Dameone continued to be nurtured by the two families. As he grew in wisdom and stature, Dameone explored finding his own way. His way introduced the world to “Pookie D”. Pookie D knew no boundaries, stood ten toes down for his respect while making his point clear. His “Pookie D” complex never affected his educational studies. While attending Magnolia High school, he participated in track and football (#24). Dameone was a proud member of the Magnolia High School 1998 graduation class. After graduating, Dameone chose a career that reflected his strength, resilience, and fighting spirit by serving in the United States Army. Following the completion of his assignment in Belgium and Germany, he relocated to Texas. Shortly after his arrival, Dameone learned the true meaning of legacy with the birth of his only child, Dasia E. Hanson. Becoming a father shifted Dameone’s focus and helped shape his career goals. He maintained steady employment as a financial advisor and counselor, providing guidance and support through his work. Though he had accomplished much in life, he still desired the love and care of a woman whose nurturing spirit reminded him of the comfort and warmth of home. He found, chose, and married Andrianna Spann Hanson. Through their union, Dameone lovingly embraced three daughters, Taelore, Tion, and Areun, along with his grandchildren, Carter and Camille, who affectionately called him “Peepaw.” As Dameone learned to blend the dynamics of their families, he slowly had to let go of “Pookie D.” He later preferred to simply be called “Pookie.” He was so proud to become a homeowner, knowing that his children and loved ones would always have a place to stay or visit. Without ever having to open his mouth, Dameone would say, “I love you,” through his cooking. He enjoyed the simple pleasures of life, such as protecting, guiding, spoiling other people’s children, laughing, shooting, video gaming, and finding his own way. Round by round, he created enough cherished memories to last a lifetime. Dameone leaves behind his wife, children, grandchildren, parents, paternal grandmother, and paternal siblings: Donnie (Ashlee) Hanson, Devin (Amanda) Hanson, and Mercedes Hanson, as well as his maternal siblings: Shameka Robinson, Leslee Cooper, and Lee Anna Cooper. He also leaves behind a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, co-workers, and friends who were like brothers to him: Demorris Young, Jermillian Carter, and Rashad Rowden. Special thanks are extended to his parents, maternal grandparents, great-grandparents, Aunt Angela Hunter, paternal grandmother Willie Lee Smith, Uncle Don (Vell) Hanson, and Uncle Willie (Mick) Hanson for nurturing him back to health and giving him the strength to fight for 45 rounds. Ceremonial Cremation services with Military Honors will be held on Wednesday, May 27th, 2026, at R.L. Reed Funeral Home Chapel in Magnolia, Arkansas at 2:00 p.m., under the direction of R.L.
