His hobbies included weightlifting and fishing. He also enjoyed Alabama Football, but what he loved most was spending time with his family.

He is survived by his loving wife, Leslie; children, Erik (Jasmine) Hancock, Nicole Hancock Lomas, Shawn Fredrick (Tiffany), Victoria Wyman and Jay Wyman; mother, Debra Johnson (Mel); siblings, Brittany Blackburn (Craig), Kimi Barnette (Shawn), Shawanda Ledbetter and Lorrie Spivey (James); grandchildren, Tucker Harvison, Zachary Ezell, Zander Ezell, Avery Hancock, Emma Fredrick, Addison Hancock and Mylee Lomas; sister-in-law, Pam Stricklin (Scott); brother-in-law, Wayne Shoub; his dad's wife, Sharon Hancock. In addition, he will be missed by many loving aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
