David Shockcor

Quechee, VT - David Shockcor, 66 of Quechee VT, passed away at his home Aug 15, 2025. He lived a spectacular life filled with family, caring friendships, a love of nature, and he found a meaningful place in the Upper Valley community. He was loved and will be missed.

David moved to Woodstock in 1973, graduated WUHS in 1975, attended UVM and headed across country. After a time in Pheonix, he returned, lived a short time in Lebanon and ended up in Quechee. Moving "home" he was able to be a significant part of his parents' lives spending time and helping Joe and Shirley Shockcor – both passed. He worked as a finance guru, a chemical process engineer, a waiter at the Hanover Inn, an account rep for the Valley News, and finally as a US postal clerk over in Hanover. He loved being out in nature: feeling the sun and wind, hearing the sounds, walking his beloved dog Josie, hiking, kayaking, swimming, camping, fishing, skiing, and boating. He threw awesome parties living across the river from the Quechee Balloon Fest. He loved music, festivals, and concerts. He really enjoyed his time ushering at the WRJ Tupelo seeing the wide selection of shows. David is survived by his brothers: Joe Shockcor – Barnard, VT and Bill Shockcor – Normantown, WV, his niece Nicole Shockcor – Atlanta, GA, and nephews Michael Shockcor – Morgantown, WV and Jeremy Shockcor – Charlotte, NC. Dave's greatest accomplishment was finding a deep meaningful peace and contentment. He overcame his addictions and found the strength to become the caring and "gentle soul" we all knew him to be. His family would like to thank the Upper Valley AA community and all the people who helped him on his 24 year journey to sobriety. That support helped save his life and his family and provided him the inner strength he needed throughout his cancer journey. We thank everyone for being important in Dave's life. He knew and appreciated everything you all did for him. As he would say, "You are never alone." Thank you. A celebration of Dave will be held at the Cabot Funeral Home Saturday Sept 27 from 3 to 5 pm. Please come, meet the family and share some stories of his spectacular life. Memorial donations may be made to the Upper Valley Haven, Food Market, 713 Hartford Ave, White River Junction, VT 05001.
