In Memory of Mark Hancock

Posted on July 15, 2024July 15, 2024
Remembering Mark 
When death is sudden, shock sets in, and then awareness of all the
unfinished business left behind emerges. Mark Hancock, always
prepared, a master of “Punch Lists,” documentation, accurate and
factual, was not prepared, he was not finished.
His sudden unexpected death, on Sunday, May 26, 2024, is a shock that
has been felt around the world. It is nearly impossible to grasp how a
vital, seemingly healthy, “Energizer Bunny” man could be gone. A heart
attack. The Silent Killer.
Mark often reflected on his exciting and eventful life, and he was clear
that he had no regrets. He said he had lived a full life. Many who know
him know that it would take a book to detail that life. Among his many
lists he had countless “Chronologies” (as he called them), the list of his

life events, historic concerts, and extensive global travels.

From life-partner: Lisa Goldsmith

Mark was an essential part of the documentary film project, Headhunt Revisited. The family history of Caroline Mytinger and Margaret Warner was a true gift and Mark knew just how to discover details. When I reviewed his spreadsheets and research results, it is, to this day, so impressive. In addtition, Mark made all of us who worked on the project smile. Below is just a snip of the massive information collected.

You are/were amazing, Mark, and I’m confident you are having quite the conversations with Caroline and Margaret in the sky. Lisa, his sisters, Gaye and Autumn, asked that if you wish to give, do what Mark would do. CHOOSE A CHARITY OF YOUR CHOICE IN MARK’S NAME.
