Andre Hancock: A Life Saved, A Life Lost

Family, friends, shipmates and all. We've recently increase our goal to help accommodate the funeral expenses. The Family and I can't thank you enough for the support.

As some of you may have heard Andre (Lonnie) Hancock lost his life (3/8) on his 43rd Birthday saving a 13 year old boy from drowning. The boy was playing on rocks near fast moving water at the wateree dam in SouthCarolina. His older brother jumped in to save him but the current pulled him under immediately. Andre Hancock did not hesitate to jump in to help. He was able to save the 13 year old boy but he did lose his life in the process. The boy's older brother also did not make it.

Family, friends, and shipmates lets all show our love by helping Jess and her beautiful children during this time. A service will be held on March 22nd at Jehovah Missionary Baptist Church 803 South Harvin St. Sumter, SC 29150 at 11 AM.
