Scott-Morris Funeral Home
John David Hancock, 64, of Nocona, Texas, passed away on Thursday, December 15, 2022, in Wichita Falls, Texas. He and his identical twin brother, Joe were born in Perryton, Texas on March 8, 1958, to David Gaunder & Mary K. Simmons. John graduated from Nocona High School in 1977. He worked in the oil & gas industry for 45+ years where he made many lifelong friends. John had a passion for horse racing, and when he wasn't working you could find him at the horse barn, training, cleaning stalls and riding, but probably mostly talking. John never met a stranger and didn't have a worry in the world. He lived life by the seat of his pants, and by the grace of God, everything always worked out for the best. He married the love of his life, the late Marion Hancock, on October 22, 1979.
