David Shockcor
Quechee, VT – David Shockcor, 66 of Quechee VT, passed away at his
home Aug 15, 2025. He lived a spectacular life filled with family,
caring friendships, a love of nature, and he found a meaningful place
in the Upper Valley community. He was loved and will be missed.
David moved to Woodstock in 1973, graduated WUHS in 1975, attended UVM
and headed across country. After a time in Pheonix, he returned, lived
a short time in Lebanon and ended up in Quechee. Moving “home” he was
able to be a significant part of his parents’ lives spending time and
helping Joe and Shirley Shockcor ย both passed. He worked as a finance
guru, a chemical process engineer, a waiter at the Hanover Inn, an
account rep for the Valley News, and finally as a US postal clerk over
in Hanover. He loved being out in nature: feeling the sun and wind,
hearing the sounds, walking his beloved dog Josie, hiking, kayaking,
swimming, camping, fishing, skiing, and boating. He threw awesome
parties living across the river from the Quechee Balloon Fest. He
loved music, festivals, and concerts. He really enjoyed his time
ushering at the WRJ Tupelo seeing the wide selection of shows. David
is survived by his brothers: Joe Shockcor ย Barnard, VT and Bill
Shockcor ย Normantown, WV, his niece Nicole Shockcor ย Atlanta, GA,
and nephews Michael Shockcor ย Morgantown, WV and Jeremy Shockcor ย
Charlotte, NC. Dave’s greatest accomplishment was finding a deep
meaningful peace and contentment. He overcame his addictions and found
the strength to become the caring and “gentle soul” we all knew him to
be. His family would like to thank the Upper Valley AA community and
all the people who helped him on his 24 year journey to sobriety. That
support helped save his life and his family and provided him the inner
strength he needed throughout his cancer journey. We thank everyone
for being important in Dave’s life. He knew and appreciated everything
you all did for him. As he would say, “You are never alone.” Thank
you. A celebration of Dave will be held at the Cabot Funeral Home
Saturday Sept 27 from 3 to 5 pm. Please come, meet the family and
share some stories of his spectacular life. Memorial donations may be
made to the Upper Valley Haven, Food Market, 713 Hartford Ave, White
River Junction, VT 05001.
