Herbert Andrew Hancock was born at home to a loving family in Clay Springs, Arizona, October 4, 1929. He passed away at home surrounded by a loving family in Gilbert Arizona on December 20, 2017. In between, he accomplished more and gave more than most people in several lifetimes. 

He married Ina Lorene Petersen on November 13, 1948, and they were by each other’s sides the rest of their lives except when he was in the Air Force and would be sent to different places all over the world for duty. He and Ina had four sons, who gave them four grandchildren, who in turn gave them two great-grandchildren as of this writing. 

Herb served in the Air Force for 22 years, achieving the rank of Chief Master Sergeant. He served in the Korean conflict where he was seriously injured and was sent to the military base at March AFB, California, for treatment. While there, he became a Rams football fan because the owner of the Rams would send a bus to the base to pick up the wounded airmen and put them on the sidelines where they could watch the games. He would remark, “They treated us like VIPs.” He became a devoted Rams fan for his whole life, and we’re sure he’s continuing that devotion where he is now. On his way home from the hospital after six months, the Greyhound bus on which he was riding crashed into a water-filled canal, and Herb received the Soldiers Medal for helping get people off the bus despite having a cast up to his hip. He and Ina and their sons, Brendon and Loran, then spent 3-1/2 years in Spain where he worked with B-47’s. Later, in Amarillo, Texas, he would work with B-52’s, then a move to Arkansas, where he served on a Titan II Missile crew for 5 years. While there, he was named Airman of the year.

In 1968, Herb, Ina and their four sons came home to Arizona and he retired there from the Air Force in 1970. After that, he joined State Farm Insurance and served first as an agent in Safford, where the biggest trial parents can have, came as their son, Brendon Mike Hancock, was killed while serving a mission in France. We can just imagine the reunion the two of them are having!! He then went to Tucson as an Agency Manager, then to Albuquerque, NM where he was an Agency Director for the state of New Mexico. They then came back home to Arizona in 1994 and he served as an Agency Director at their Tempe headquarters until he retired in December 1995. 

After he retired from State Farm, he worked as a volunteer at Deseret Industries and the LDS Cannery, serving three two-year missions at the regional cannery, making food that was distributed all over the western US. All along the way, he helped both family and friends, often and generously. He figured the Lord had blessed him for a reason, and that reason was to help others, and he would not let the Lord down. He served in the LDS Church his entire life, including Group Leader in Zaragoza, Spain, Branch President in Jacksonville, Arkansas, assisting that congregation to build their own church, and again as Bishop in Tucson, assisting that congregation to build their own church. He also published two books, one about the Mormon Battalion and one about the difficult life of his great-grandmother. 

He leaves behind a legacy of kindness, generosity, and service. He will be missed by many. He is survived by his loving wife, Ina Hancock, his sons Loran, Garrett (wife Lilly), and Kyle, as well as grandchildren Angelica, Sabrina (Ian), Holly (Greg), and Daniel, and great grandchildren Ivy (Holly and Greg) and William (Sabrina and Ian). 

Funeral services will be held at 9 AM on Saturday, December 30, 2017, at the LDS Church at 2740 S. Lindsay Road in Gilbert, Arizona, followed by a burial at the Pinedale Cemetery (between Show Low and Heber) at about 3 PM the same day. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to either Deseret Industries (www.deseretindustries.org/donate) or to the LDS Church Charities (www.ldscharities.org).

Robert Merrill Michaud, 68, beloved husband, father, grandfather, son, and brother, passed away peacefully at home on December 18, 2017.  He was reunited with those he had loved in life including his son whom he had long missed, his mother, grandson, grandparents, and other family members.

Bob was born July 11, 1949 in Logan, Utah to Richard Earl and Patricia Merrill Michaud.  The oldest of four children, Bob and his siblings – Barbara, Kathy, and Jim – were loved of their noble parents and raised in the gospel of Jesus Christ.  They lived in many different places due to their father’s military pilot career, including Germany, Utah, California, and Arizona.  After the family settled in Mesa, Bob graduated from Westwood High.  He attended ASU as a freshman and then served in the LDS France/Belgium mission from 1968 to 1970.  Upon returning home he again attended ASU and then transferred to the University of Washington, where he met and married Lynn Howard.

Bob and Lynn are the parents of six children – five daughters and one son, Jennifer, Suzanne, Heather, Tonya, Amber, and Richard. The family moved often as Bob attended medical school at the Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine, served his residency in dermatology at the University of Minnesota, and was stationed as a physician at several Air Force bases.

The family grieved the childhood death of Richard after an automobile/bicycle accident in 1987. After his son’s death, Bob was surrounded by a household of women, a trial which he bore with patience and humor. He often told his girls, “You each get one vote, but my vote counts for one more than all of you combined.”  

Bob practiced as a physician for 43 years.  He had an extensive knowledge of dermatology and had successful practices in Utah, Alaska, and Arizona. He was a wonderful provider and loved to spoil his family with Christmas presents and vacations. He felt strongly about education so encouraged and supported his daughters in attending college.

After Bob and Lynn’s marriage ended and his girls were grown, another great blessing came into his life when he was reacquainted with a friend from his youth, Rae Richardson Miles. Both being single, they found commonality and then love.  In 2001 they were married and shared 16 beautiful years together always anxious to welcome any of their 12 children and 45 grandchildren into their home which became a popular place for family get-togethers, including regular Sunday dinners and holiday gatherings. They loved and were loved by their children and grandchildren.

Bob is survived by wife Rae, former wife Lynn, daughters Jenny (Ben) Smith, Suzie (Craig) Campbell, Heather (Elden) Tolman, Tonya (Michael) Brown, and Amber (Tyler) Leonhardt.  He also leaves behind his father Richard, siblings Barbara (Clay) Layton, Kathy (Stan) Mead, and Jim (Judy) Michaud, as well as many grandchildren who loved Grandpa Bob. Viewing Dec 26, 6-8 PM at Bunker Mortuary 33 N Centennial, Mesa, AZ. The funeral will be Dec 27 at 10:00 AM at the LDS church 2228 W Brown Rd. Viewing-9:00 AM.  Bob will be interred in the Mesa cemetery next to his son.

Debbie married James Dayley at a young age and they had two sons, Matt and Trevor Dayley.  The marriage did not last, but Debbie was always grateful for the two sons that came from her first marriage.  She worked hard as a single mother for several years in her grandmother’s dress shop, as a restaurant waitress, and as a postal carrier to ensure that her sons had everything they needed.  During this time her mother and siblings also played a large role in helping her to raise her boys.  Debbie met Larry Brown through a mutual acquaintance and the attraction was instantaneous and everlasting.  They married on June 1, 1985 in Mesa Arizona.  To the very end, Debbie would light up whenever Larry entered the room.  They had three more sons, and together they raised all five, managing sports schedules, school assignments, and near constant wrestling matches between brothers.  Mom took great pride in her sons and ensured that they had every opportunity in life, even if it meant great sacrifice on her part.  

Debbie was a lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  Despite the difficult symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease, she attended church faithfully and found many ways to serve others, both in and out of the church.  She will be remembered by many for her humor, perseverance, and great friendship.  She received her endowment in the Mesa Arizona temple and had a great reverence for the work there.
