Jon Brady Copier 1980-2024

Whether it was treating people with kindness, lending a listening ear, showing off his burley beard, or telling a bad Dad joke, Jon always left people smiling.

Jon Brady Copier, 43, beloved father, son, brother, uncle, loving partner and friend, passed away peacefully on March 28, 2024 in Riverton, UT surrounded by his loved ones. Jon fought many battles with multiple cancers throughout his short life, but finally succumbed to a brain tumor after an 8 year battle.

Jon was born on April 15, 1980 to John Antoon and Wanda Bangerter Copier in Salt Lake City, UT. He grew up in Murray, UT where he graduated from Murray High School in 1998. He later attended and graduated from Dixie State College and Weber State University majoring in Theatre Arts.

Jon married Alison Bennett (later divorced) and had a son, Benedict (Benny) John Copier who was his pride and joy and LEGO building buddy.

Jon loved technology, fixing things, and helping and teaching people. His working career was centered around these passions, with perhaps the most impactful time being his many years as a Lead Genius for Apple.

Jon started performing at a young age. His adorable tow head hair and blue eyes lead to being cast in some commercials for Hasbro at the age of 5, most notably for Wuzzles. This love for the arts continued throughout his youth and into adulthood. He was well known in the local theater community for many memorable performances at theaters across Utah including: Pioneer Theatre, Hale Centre Theatre, Egyptian Theatre (Park City), and The Grand.

Jon loved playing sports. He played a mean shortstop and could crush a softball. He was a longtime season ticket holder and die hard Real Salt Lake fan to the very end.

Jon is survived by his son, Benedict Copier, parents John and Wanda, sister Mandy, brother Nathan (Savannah), and nieces and nephew, Jenavee, Ezra and Hera Copier and by his loving partner, Leah Jean LeBlanc, whose tender care for him, especially the last few months, meant the world to Jon and his family.

A Memorial Service will be held on April 20, 2024 at 2pm in the Cultural Hall of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints building on 14242 Loumis Parkway Drive in Bluffdale, UT followed by time for visiting with the family until 4:30pm
