It’s come to The Watercraft Journal‘s attention that Sandy Hahn, the wife and widow of Mark Hahn – for whom the annual Mark Hahn Memorial Havasu 300 race is named after – has passed after battling cancer. Hahn, who assisted and supported event coordinator and former Yamaha team racer Mike Follmer with the Memorial 300 each and every year graciously memorialized the wife of his good friend on the event’s official Facebook page.

There are legions of people who are saddened upon learning of the passing of Sandy Hahn, but none more than me. Sandy was a dear and cherished personal friend and the consummate supporter, advocate and promoter for the entire PWC community while providing the flame to keep the memory of our dear friend and her husband, Mark Hahn alive. Sandy was tireless in her support of and participation in the Mark Hahn Memorial race at Lake Havasu.
Like Mark before her, Sandy has left us much too soon but is now in a better place next to her beloved Mark in Heaven. Sandy was always the first to offer support for the Mark Hahn race and worked tirelessly all year long to insure it was a fitting tribute to Mark, so when she was not in attendance this year I knew something was amiss. It wasn’t until later that I learned of her battle with cancer that prevented her from attending. That was just how selfless Sandy was, not wanting to burden anyone with her problems or detract in any way from all the causes she loved and supported.
Sandy was a great wife, mother and friend to us all and will always be remembered in our hearts and minds. Rest in peace, angel.
