Bancroft issued the following statement on social media: “It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our founder, Stephen M. Mockbee. To those who knew Stephen he was a colleague, friend, husband, father, leader, and mentor. To us at Bancroft he is an unfailing reminder of all things positive, caring, supportive, energetic, and remarkable. Under Stephen’s leadership, anything was possible. Without his vision, we would not be where we are today.”
