E Maynard Hancock Obituary (1939 - 2015)

Bud had almost left this world several times before. He'd survived near-fatal fights with a flagpole, a river, a ladder, a VW Bug and an SUV. He beat them all. Bud was tough as an ox. Quoting a favorite western, he would often say, "Even an ox dies." And so he did. Bud Hancock, 75, passed away July 9, 2015 at his home in Salt Lake City, Utah. Bud was born July 17, 1939 to Ernest Maynard and Devona Pectol Hancock. He graduated from Granite High School in 1957. Bud married Linda Jean Porter in 1959 and later divorced. Bud is survived by his children, Michael, Jim, Brian, Spencer, Adam and Angela; and by his grandchildren, Tia, Devin, Morgan, Jayden, Taryn, Zoe and Lilly. Bud is also survived by his sisters, Dorothy Barlow, Vona Dee Kenney and Gloria Kuhn. He is preceded in death by his parents and his brother Brent "Skip" Hancock.
