Justice Hancock was such a nice and caring Judge when he served on the Seventh Court of Appeals. He was fun and pleasant to work for and treated all of us with respect and he cared deeply about the law. My prayers are with Toni and his family. We loved sharing grandchildren stories.

I consider it a great privilege to have known and served overseas (Bosnia) with COL (R) Hancock. I truly enjoyed his good humor, positive outlook on life and professionalism. May you be comforted in the fact that, as believers, we'll see him again as we walk the streets of gold. All for Him, Christion

So very sorry for your loss. Mackey was someone who I deeply respected. Holding the entire family in my prayers. Martha Keener

Toni, I am sorry I have a commitment during visitation time. I remember how much I liked it when Mackey came to Justin’s ARD (and their playfulness) at Irons. I love you and I am blessed I was able to work with you. All of you are in my prayers. I am so sorry I won’t be able to see you and your family 🩷💕

I have spent many hours in Mackeys home. The door was always open and place of respite. I would literally let myself in as the 4th Hancock son. I can find no greater words than to say Mackey always made me smile. And to me that is the greatest thing you can imbue upon another. A sense of belonging and friendship and above all else a good bit of fun.

Missing my classmate and debate team partner - we skunked the Aggies. Ag Eco class of '71.

I wish I could be there with you. Know I love Mackey and I share your grief.

I served with Mackey in the 413th when I was a student at Tech Law School. We deployed to Saudi Arabia for Operation Desert Storm. He was a great mentor and swore me in to the State Bar. I will always be grateful for having known him. May his memory be a blessing.

I have very fond memories of Col Mackey Hancock from service in the 413th CA he was a excellent Commander and a good mentor, ,He will be sorely missed by his family and friends,,

Please accept our heartfelt condolences for your loss.

Our Condolances & Prayers Judge Hancock is now with his Lord that he served Love you all

Mackey set a good example every day that I knew him. He was a committed Christian which overlaid his roles as husband and father, friend and soldier where I knew him best. The world was a better place with him in it and Heaven is likewise. May God Bless Toni, Mackie's Angel here on Earth for her example.

Thank you, Toni & family, for the wonderful memories that run through my mind when thinking of Mackey. Memories that began at the 413th Civil Affairs Battalion Christmas Party in 1994 with his teen boys & continued through his homecomings from Bosnia & Afghanistan, on through his mentee's Army retirement at Ft. McCoy, WI, & then to the mountains of Ruidoso, NM. Most of all, thank you for the memories of his twinkling eyes & knowing grin. Knowing Mackey has been a true blessing.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
