Mr. Bret Dewayne Bond

Bret Dewayne Bond, a beloved son, brother, uncle, and friend, passed away on December 2, 2024, in Oklahoma City at the age of 57. Born on July 6, 1967, in Midwest City, Oklahoma to Curtis L.

In addition to his artistic pursuits, Bret had a profound love for music that filled his life with rhythm and harmony. He found solace in melodies and often shared this passion with friends and family alike—his laughter echoing through gatherings as he introduced them to new tunes or reminisced about old favorites.

Bret’s heart was as big as his talents; he never met a stranger and always extended a helping hand whenever possible. His genuine compassion made him someone people could rely on during their toughest times—a true testament to the goodness within him.
