  • Our beloved grandson, son, brother, husband, father, papa, and friend, Chad Hancock left this world unexpectedly at 48 on August 11, 2021, in Millcreek Utah. Born in Salt Lake City, Utah on August 12, 1972, to Clint and Jacqueline (Hughes) Hancock. Chad grew up in Murray where he attended Hillcrest High School and graduated in 1990. He immediately joined the US Navy as a Nuclear Engineer. He spent 7 years serving his country. Followed by serving his community, he spent the next 17 years with Unified Fire Authority where retired in 2014. He spent the remainder of his time at Dry Creek Structures as a Controller.

    Chad had few passions in his life; Golf, Harley Davidson’s, and more importantly his family. He is survived by his grandmother Bonnie Hughes, his parents, Clint and Jackie Hancock, three brothers, Scott (and wife Lani) Hancock, Brian (and wife Cheri) Hancock, and Travis Hancock, one sister, Tammy (and husband Toby) Wynne. His wife Tracy Hancock of 26 years and four children, Alessa (and Aaron) Curtis, Dakota Phelps, Brooke Hancock (and Braxton), and Andrea Hancock. His two grandchildren Oaklee (5) and Emma (2) Curtis.

    Chad was one of the wittiest, kindest, hardest working men you could ever have been blessed to meet. He was so loved and admired. He was an amazing friend to those that knew him and even the ones that didn’t. Chad never met a stranger. A true hero, a wonderful father and a man with a huge heart open to everyone he knew. He will be missed and never forgotten.

    A visitation will take place Saturday, August 21, from 2 to 3 pm at Larkin Mortuary Riverton at 3688 West 12600 South in Riverton, Utah. Following the visitation, a memorial service will be held at 3 pm at the same location.

    Guestbook/Condolences

    To all of Chad's Family and especially for Dakota, Alessa, Aaron, Oaklee and Emma, and Tracy.....I am very sorry for the loss of your loved one. I never met Chad and spoke on the phone only once; however, from the posts and memories I have seen, and from mentions by Dakota and Alessa, Chad was a really special fellow. I do understand your loss, shock and grief, and I will pray for the day when you are all able to be thankful for having him with you on Earth and look forward to meeting one day in Heaven. With sympathy and love in my heart for each of you. Grah Phelps

    Chad will be missed greatly! He was a vibrant, fun-loving person who brought a laugh and a smile. He had a new one-line remark for nearly anything everyday.
    His work ethic was an example to coworkers and his supervisors.
    May God bless and comfort all his loved ones.

    This breaks my heart. Working for him was always an adventure. I'm sure everyone has a funny Chad story. He will be missed.

    I am so sorry to hear of Chad's passing. I had the privilege to work with him on Dry Creek's 401(k) plan. He was smart, patient, understanding, and most of all, kind. I will miss working with him.
