Hans Johan Felix, 73, passed away in Pensacola, Florida on Friday, February 5, 2016. He was a devoted husband and father who was selfless, loved by all, and will be deeply missed.

He was born in Haarlem, The Netherlands, and immigrated to this country with his family at the age of 12. He graduated from Oakland High School in Oakland, California, and received a Bachelors in Civil Engineering and a Masters in Structural Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. While in graduate school and working for the State of California, he completed the main structural design work for the Coronado Bay Bridge in Coronado, California.

He and his wife, Jayne Parker Felix, moved to Pensacola in 1971 when he took a job as the Assistant City Engineer. He became the City Engineer in 1976, holding that position until 2003. He loved his job and was responsible for many projects throughout our city, including Pitt Slip, Palafox

As a teenager, he received Christ as his personal savior during a Billy Graham crusade. He relied on 1 Peter 5:7, "Cast all your anxiety on the Lord because he cares for you," as his life verse. He loved the Lord throughout his life and was a member of Trinity Presbyterian Church.
