Bret Leron Hancey, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, son, and friend, passed away on September 17, 2025, at the age of 66, after a long battle with cancer.
Born on January 12, 1959, in Logan, Utah, Bret Leron Hancey was the first of twin brothers, born with his identical twin into the world. Together, they grew up in the close-knit, bustling household of Lynn and Roxie Hancey, where life was never dull. He spent their childhood days building rafts and huts and catching fish in beautiful Cache Valley, and countless hours hanging out in his dad’s shop—Lynn’s TV and Radio—where the sounds of radios, stereos, and music filled the air.
It was during this period the family says that Bret’s entrepreneurial spirit showed early. At just six-years-old, he joined his dad on service calls, charming customers with his natural gift for connecting with people. His love for electronics and audio systems only grew, and by his teenage years when he had become the go-to person for anything related to sound equipment.
His family emphasizes that he devoted his career to Lynn’s Audio and Video, where he worked alongside his father, siblings, and his children. Bringing music, technology, and entertainment to the community gave him joy. Through hard work, integrity, and a quiet commitment to service, Bret built a legacy that continues to touch lives.
Bret Leron Hancey is survived by his devoted wife, Debbie; their children and grandchildren: Jeremy Hancey (son, Rocco), Terry and Jami Hancey (children, Nixon, Krew, and Jagger), Tiffany and Craig Stevenson (children, Sophie, Talia, and Jackson), and Travis and Breann Hancey (children, Ora, Rosie, and Theo). He is also survived by his parents, Lynn and Roxie Hancey, along with many extended family members and friends who were blessed by his example.
Funeral services will be held Monday, September 29, at 11:00 a.m. at the River Heights Stake Center, 800 S. 600 E. A viewing will be held Sunday evening from 5:00–7:00 p.m. at Allen-Hall Mortuary, and again at the church Monday from 9:30–10:30 a.m. Services are under the direction of Allen-Hall Mortuary.
The family asks that anyone considering a contribution that honors Bret’s remarkable life a Go Fund Me page has been set up.
