Former Montgomery County Attorney Marc Hansen died on Sunday, County Executive Marc Elrich announced in a statement.
Hansen worked in the County Attorney’s Office for 37 years and retired in January 2022. His last 12 years in the office were spent as County Attorney. He was the longest-serving County Attorney.
“Over almost four decades, multiple County Executives, dozens of County Councilmembers and thousands of County colleagues relied on his advice and guidance,” Elrich said in the statement.
Many of the attorneys Hansen trained and mentored went on to become judges and federal attorneys, according to Elrich.
Hansen also provided critical legal guidance to the county during the COVID-19 pandemic that helped keep residents safe.
Hansen was a lecturer at George Washington University Law School and the former mayor of Washington Grove.
“Our thoughts are with his wife, their children and all of his friends and former co-workers who will miss him greatly,” Elrich said in the statement.
We mourn the loss of Marc Hansen, a pillar of public service in Montgomery County. His wisdom and mentorship left an indelible impact on countless lives. Our hearts go out to his family and all who were fortunate to know him. pic.twitter.com/rk7O1Pma2n
