Branden Dean Agnew

Branden Dean Agnew, 24, of Kansas City, MO passed away March 8, 2023, in his home. Branden enjoyed playing Xbox, skateboarding, bowling, and playing pool with cousins and friends.

Branden was born on April 20, 1998, at North Kansas City, MO hospital to Billy Dean and Denisa Lynn Agnew. After graduating from Liberty Senior High School, Branden has worked three or four jobs. He was currently working diligently as an apprentice electrician for Star Electrical, primarily in residential housing.

He was especially fond of his dogs, Smokey and Bandit. After the loss of Bandit, Branden often took to comforting and being comforted by Smokey. He often took “Smokey and the Bandit” out with him for walks while on his skateboard. Branden also loved to fish with his cousin Dylin. Anyone who encountered him were instantly affected by his contagious laughter and smile. Often we would hear Branden laughing, screaming, and sometimes beating on his poor desk. I guess those Xbox games were pretty intense. Branden also loved to hang out with his family. Branden helped anyone who would ask for help or needed money with the little money he made from his job. Branden was well respected and loved by all his friends. He will truly be missed by all those who loved him.

Branden is survived by his parents, Billy and Denisa Agnew; brother, Ryan W. Sonich; sister-in-law, Summer Sonich; brother, Billy H. Agnew; sister, Ashley A. Agnew; nieces, Makayla Sonich and Saylor Sonich; nephews, Wyatt Scheer Easton Sonich and Caysen Sonich; grandparents, Kathy and James Oriley; unlces, Ron and Leo; aunts, Beverly and Jillian; cousins, Jorge, Roma, Trina, Dennis, Dylin, Destany, Dalannah, Desiree, Adreahnna, Christian, Gabriel, Anthony, Amerissa, Adam, Sierra, Jayden, Shila, Peton, Braylin, Alizae, Elianna, Maelyn, Iviee Mae, and Dakato; and many other cousins, uncles, and aunts on Billy’s side of the family.
