Rusty was born in Albany, GA on July 8, 1960 to the late Maxwell and Lou Ellen Watson Hancock. He worked for many years as a plumber with West Plumbing in Warner Robins until his health began to fail. Rusty loved the outdoors, hunting and fishing, but his greatest joy besides his family was making people laugh. He will truly be missed by all who knew and loved him.
