Ronald Garry Hancock

HANCOCK, Ronald Garry, passed into the arms of his loving Savior on Saturday, October 10, 2015. Garry had an ironclad memory for the details and names of all he met because he cared about everyone unconditionally. His life story was unique and full of adventure. He truly was a "bigger than life" kind of guy. Garry had many affectionate nick-names, but the one he che-rished was "The Mayor" (of Buckhorn). He could tell story after story and make you laugh and love life. Although Garry was blessed to make and keep friends, he cherished his family the most. He was always so proud of them and made decisions with them in mind. He was a man of influence because he modeled kindness, genero-sity and service to others. Garry was pre-deceased by his son, Justin Hancock. He leaves behind his wife of 41 years, Kathy; his daughter, Courtney (Mitchell); grand-daughter, Charley; sister, Karen (Pat); brother, Terry (Jeana); as well as his beloved extended family members with whom he shared many good times over the years (in-laws, nephews, niece, great-nephews, great-nieces and countless cousins). We will all miss him greatly and never forget the spice he added to our lives. Fune-ral services will be held on Thursday, October 15, 2015, at Bell Shoals Baptist Church (Worship Center) beginning with family visita-tion at 10:00 A.M., service at 11:00 A.M. with inter-ment following at Serenity Meadows, Riverview, FL. In lieu of flowers, we would appreciate any donations made in Garry's honor to Moffitt Cancer Center.
