Scott Hancock Obituary
TOLONO - Scott Alan Hancock, 70, of Tolono passed away peacefully on Friday (March 21, 2025) at Accolade of Savoy.
Scott, son of Katheryn (Hegmann) Hancock and Alan Hancock, was born on April 27, 1954, in Urbana.
He graduated from Centennial High School, Class of 1972. He studied briefly at Parkland College before taking a position at University Ford, where he was awarded Ford Motor Company's top parts salesman for three years in a row. Scott went on to work for Ted Christman Lincoln-Mercury and then on to the U.S. Postal Service. In 2000, he began his career with the University of Illinois parking division and retired in 2021.
Scott was a passionate collector of music, books and classic movies. He was an Orioles and Cubs fan. He was always ready to offer a helping hand and was happiest when he was able to tinker in his garage and visit with his friends and neighbors.
Scott is survived by his mother, Katheryn Hancock of Monticello; sister, Jill (Mark) Hieronymus; niece, Kelly (Mark) Whiting; grandnephew, Wyatt Whiting of Champaign; nephew, Cameron (Carrie Bell) Hieronymus; and grandniece, June Hieronymus of Victor, Idaho.
Scott's family would like to thank his friends and neighbors for their generous outpouring of love, help and support. Scott was truly a very fortunate man.
There will be no services. Memorials can be made to the Champaign County Humane Society. Condolences may be offered at morganmemorialhome.com.

Growing up across the street from Scott and his family in the mid 60's brings back lots of memories . The rides in his mom's Karmann Ghia listening to his Beatles, Kinks, Byrds, albums and he had a dang good Tarzan yell!
From another Rosewood Drive kid
Rest in Peace Scott

A good and honorable man. Didn´t get to see him for many years but the time we did shared was great. RIP Scott, maybe we´ll meet again in the Riviera heaven.

Scott was a coworker of mine at the Parking Department. He was a great person to be around - a hard worker, always ready to help, and quick to solve problems. I truly enjoyed talking with him. He had a wealth of fascinating stories from his life. One of the highlights of my week was Monday mornings, as we both shared a love of tools and oddities. He´d often share tales from his weekend adventures at estate sales, showing off the treasures he´d found. He´d even bring in tools or pictures of tools and items he´d restored. A truly talented guy and a great person.

Many good memories of growing up on Rosewood Drive.
Scott was my best friend from pre kindergarten until his passing. He was like a brother to me.

So sad to hear of Scotts passing. He was one of us kids from the neighborhood. I can remember playing our many basketball games at a neighbors house, or swimming at Centennial Pool in the summer like it was yesterday. Scott was a good guy and a great friend...

I am so sorry to learn of Scott´s passing. He was such a nice person. My dog LOVED him and would pull me over to Scott´s house for butt scratches when we were out for a walk and he saw Scott. Over the years a lot of butt scratches were given We will miss him. His courageous battle is over and it´s time for peace. Gods speed my friend

I´m so sorry for your loss. Scott was a sweetheart! I always enjoyed talking with him and I´ll never forget Scott teaching me how to drive his VW bug in the country fair parking lot in high school. Phyllis Kirkwood
