Staff Report
Alvin Roy Hanks passed away peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, on July 6, 2025, at Renown hospital in Reno.
He was born in Elko, Nevada, on October 19, 1947, to Eugene “Gene” Roy Hanks and Alice Jane Hanks. Raised in Fallon, he worked alongside his dad, learning the trade of building homes. After graduating in Fallon, he continued working in construction with integrity and pride—values he passed on to both his sons.
Alvin loved to hunt, fish, and go camping. Always including his family and friends, being outdoors was his life. He valued honesty and raised his children to do the same: to always do your best and take pride in what you do. He had lifelong friends who knew they could count on him whenever they needed.
Alvin was preceded in death by his parents and older brother, Carl Hanks. He is survived by his wife, Christine “Tina” Hanks; his sister, Nancy Hanks; his three children, Brent Hanks, Tracy Hawks, and Jason Hanks; seven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
Please help us celebrate the life of Alvin on August 23, 2025, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at his and Tina’s home, 3195 Eugene Way, Fallon, NV 89406. Food will be provided. If you would like to bring something, please feel free to bring a dessert.
