Branden Tyler Leupold left this earth to rest easy with his Lord and Savior on June 5, 2020. Branden was born on October 11, 1994 and has been touching the lives of those he came in contact with ever since.

He is survived by his parents, John and Megan Leupold,  sister, Rylee Henningson (Ganon), brother, Camron Leupold, fiancé, Adrianne Darnell, Grandparents: Phil and Mary Dachenhausen, Shyrel Bracken, Bill Leupold (Bonnie), many aunts, uncles, cousins, and countless friends.

Branden loved the outdoors and had a passion for riding his horses, hunting, fishing, dogs, and spending time with all those he loved. He was blessed with a God-given talent for music, sharing his singing and playing the guitar generously for church, weddings, funerals, family gatherings, and the very best bonfires. He wrote many of his own songs, mostly from his study of scripture and words praising the Lord as well as songs about spending time outside, loving this country, and some were just plain silly. He loved to spend time at our church campgrounds, Camp Farwesta, as a youth camper and once old enough, a camp counselor. This is where he met his love, Ada. Ada and Branden then made their way back to each other as adults and began to be the camp directors as a pair. Branden graduated from Kansas State University with a Bachelor of Science in Sociology (with an emphasis Criminology), was an officer in the Kansas National Guard, and was a Kansas Highway Trooper, K143. Everything he did was with passion, dedication, kindness, and the best of character. But mostly love.
