• The season 1 finale of Marshals aired Sunday, May 24, on CBS
• As the episode concluded, an in memoriam card was shown in honor of Lenny Hancock Jr., who worked as a prop master on the show
• According to a local Arizona news outlet, Hancock died in December in an accident

The Marshals finale was dedicated to one of its own.

The Sunday, May 24 episode concluded season 1 of the Yellowstone spinoff about Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes), and the episode ended with a dedication card.

"In loving memory of Leonard 'Lenny' E. Hancock Jr.," the card read. Hancock was the prop master on Marshals, per IMDb and his Instagram account.

In an October Instagram post, he shared a photo of his reserved parking spot on the show's set. "My home for the last 5 months has been Park City, Utah," Hancock wrote in the caption. "I couldn’t be more blessed. 2 months to go."

He wrote in the caption that he hoped to be "back in the spring" to work on season 2 of the show, and encouraged his followers to tune into the series on CBS.

Local news outlet Arizona Family reported in December that a man, later identified as Leonard Hancock, was found dead in Lake Havasu City, Ariz., on Dec. 23. He had been driving a UTV when he "lost control, rolled the vehicle several times, and was ejected," police told the outlet. Hancock died on the scene. He was 54.

Lenny was a father to young racer Aidan Hancock, who created a GoFundMe page in January to raise funds for his racing career after Lenny's death.

"Earlier this year, I lost my father, who was not only my biggest supporter but also the foundation behind my racing journey," Aidan, 17, wrote on the GoFundMe page. "While his passing has been deeply challenging, it has strengthened my resolve to continue pursuing the dream we built together and to honor his legacy through my efforts on and off the track."

"With my father no longer here, the financial burden of racing has become a significant obstacle," Aidan wrote. "Every donation helps me honor my father’s legacy."

Another, separate GoFundMe raised over $10,000 to fund a memorial service for Lenny. Marshals showrunner Spencer Hudnut was among the top donors.

Prior to Marshals, Lenny had worked as a prop master on all seven seasons of SEAL Team, on two seasons of CSI: Cyber and seven seasons of CSI: NY.
