David Eugene Hancock

David Eugene Hancock “Grandpa Dave”, 75, of Terre Haute passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, May 12, 2021 in Urbana, IL.  He was born June 12, 1945 to Rellie “Doc” Hancock and Mary Maxine Hancock.

Dave was a graduate of Gerstmeyer High School, a life-time truck driver, and a veteran of the US Army who served in Vietnam.  Dave was an avid gardener who prided himself on his tomatoes and peaches.  When Dave wasn’t trucking or gardening, he was watching westerns or spending time with his treasured grandchildren of whom he was very proud. He enjoyed life on the lake as well as taking care of his dogs. But most of all, he adored his precious wife, Patty and the life they built together.
