WV Man Buried With Chevy Truck, Realtree Camo, and .243
By Dave Hurteau
From the Charleston Daily Mail:
In a burial plot that is 19 feet long and nine feet wide, Albert Dancy Jr. lies in a casket in a vault in his 1967 Chevy pickup.
Wearing Realtree camouflage, Dancy, 50, went on to the next life accompanied by a couple of other favorite things: his Old Timer pocketknife and Remington .243-caliber deer rifle.
Sound like your kind of send-off?

Amen to that, that's what I call going out in style!
Imagine what archaeologists 1,000 years from now will be thinking when they dig him up. They'll probably figure he was the great leader of some cult. I wonder if he also packed a case of Bud and a bottle of Wild Turkey.
Sounds like he has taken the tools needed to hunt the great woods in the sky.
That is what I would call, going with your boots on. Literally. He was buried with things and basically showing something that he loved to do.
I give him credit it's original. I think that it's pretty cool!
Who says you cant take it with ya!
When you get to thinking about it, this makes a lot more sense than most of the things we do to honor the dead.

Why not leave the .243 and the knife to a son or nephew (or daughter or niece) who might carry on his passion for deer hunting? ...Pass It On!
MLH,
I just hope he doesn't enjoy the Bud and Wild Turkey while out in the happy hunting grounds with his .243 and Chevy. Or, are the rules different there? I don't know.
Personally, if I am gong to go out in style like this I want to be placed on a Viking ship, set out to sea, and have flaming arrows shot into it to light the whole thing to send me off.

I don't see whats so unique. The whole state of WV is full of guys riding around in their trucks with .243's. They say Chevy is the number one brand of treestand in WV.
This just sounds like a modern-day Egyptian mummy to me. They probably buried a perfectly good gun and truck. He aint gonna need em!!!
thats how we all want to be buried.
heck ya thats how i want to go.
I always told my dad that I would bury him on his 1950's era McCormick 400, the tractor he bought when he started farming. But the tractor is kind of useful sometimes and gee, that would take a big hole and how would you prop him up there? Maybe a picture would suffice.
I do have a spot in the woods where we hunt that has a few graves from the early 1800's, from what I was told the nearby road was one of the highways to the western frontier, and occasionally someone just wouldn't make it. I always thought a peaceful, out of the way spot like this would be a great place to rest.
This is too absurd to even post an intelligent comment.
Dude that is sweet. He really knows how to plan a funeral. All I can say to him is..... AMEN. You are awesome.
Terrible way that he died. But I like the quote from his son - "We gave him a truck with no tires. We gave him a gun with no shells," Dancy said. "He'll be s-t out of luck."
If i had a way to chose to what i would get barried in i would go just like that. That is a DIFFERENT way to get barried though.
Me next
That's going out with your boots on. I think that would be a great way for a hunter to go. I like Chevy trucks, Realtree camo, and 243's anyway!
Thats exactaly how i want to be buried
Thats exactly how i want to be buried
thats awesome. i want to be cremated and have my ashes spread half in the woods and half in the water
This is great! To be honest, this would be a great way to go out!
I give alot of respect to the family for doing what they did to fulfill a wish, its great!
Sounds like a good way to go into the hereafter. I just want my dogs back when I get there.
i would have left the stuff for the rest of my family to remember me by.
Different people, different pleasures - that is a big hole!!

Wow! This is how the Egyptian pharaohs used to go...but it was a chariot rather than a Chevy and a spear rather than a rifle.

all he needs now a can o beer to quench the thirst after a long days hunt upstairs.
I couldnt care less what they do with me; thats one decision i wont have to make.
What a waste of good truck.
What a waste of good truck.
Thats the way to go out. when i die i don't want to be buried in a tux i want to be buried in my wrangler, favorite boots, and hunting jacket.
Was he in the box or "driving"? They should have put a stuffed dog next to him.
