Randy Hancock, 66, of Newell, peacefully departed this world on Monday, November 17, 2025, in the comforting embrace of his home and surrounded by the loving care of his devoted wife, Lisa. Diagnosed with cancer just a month prior, Randy faced his journey with remarkable strength. Born in East Liverpool on February 22, 1959, Randy was the cherished son of the late George and Helen Hancock. He dedicated many years to his role as a warehouse manager at Global Pak in East Liverpool and proudly graduated from Beaver Local High School in 1978. A man of faith, he was a devoted member of the Methodist church. Randy's life was rich with passions, chief among them his deep love for his wife, Lisa Rennix Hancock. Their bond was a testament to enduring love and partnership. He was also a devoted animal lover, finding joy in nature's wonders. Whether he was fishing, soaking in the sun while floating in his pool, attending lively concerts, listening to his favorite music, or losing himself in a good book, each moment reflected his vibrant spirit. He reveled in the simple delight of laying on the beach, basking in the beauty of life around him. In addition to his parents, Randy was preceded in death by his brother, George Hancock. He is lovingly remembered by his wife, Lisa; sisters, Kathy and Terri; brother-in-law, Don Rennix; sisters-in-law, Kari Knight and Leslie Rennix; and his adored niece and nephew, Michelle and John, who brought him joy akin to that of children of his own. He leaves behind a host of treasured nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and great-nephews. Honoring his wishes, there will be no formal services held. Instead, Randy's family and friends are encouraged to celebrate his life and remember him fondly as the extraordinary person he was. Arrangements have been entrusted to the caring hands of the Arner Funeral Chapel in Chester.
