Brandon Hancock Obituary

9/6/1988 ~ 1/1/2017
You lived life fully and were a man of extremes. Your love of health, nutrition and bodybuilding only occasionally broken with hedonistic pleasure and feasting like a king. You were a powerful, seemingly unstoppable fighter, mastering Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai and boxing, only satisfied when taking first or second place at the Pan Am and world competitions. You were also a powerful scholar. Your love of learning and passionate pursuit of knowledge paired with your belief in challenging the rules led to a hopscotch of classes, resulting in almost simultaneous bachelor and master degrees, only a few months from being celebrated. Your clever wit and mischievous nature was evidenced in brilliant pranks, with our reward being your infectious giggle. Your kind and generous spirit will be remembered by the many souls you graced with your help and generosity. We join your mother (Ronda) and brother (Austin) in remembering your life on Saturday, January 14, from 12 - 2 p.m. at your grandparents' home at 6618 S. 1420 W. in Murray, Utah.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

My life will forever be changed without you, I can't yet accept that you are not here. Not here, not here to give those big bear hugs and warm me up with your amazing smile. My heart hurts so badly, I cry with every thought of you. I'm trying to be strong, hard to do when that was your job - the strong one. Our family and especially my sons (Riley and Brodey) will miss your guidance, your friendship, and your ability to make the room light up with your presence. You have always been more of a best friend, I will miss our talks - I will still be talking so I know you'll still listen. I love you to the moon and back, forever and always. In my heart and on my mind.......All my love to you, your momma, and Austin - we will NEVER forget you XOXO

I miss you beyond words. My heart hurts so much. I will miss everything about you. It is so hard to believe that you won't be at the next family gathering, offering to help with everything and giving hugs. I will miss talking to you about my kids and hearing your brilliant suggestions and ideas. I will love and remember you always.
