A resolution honoring the life of Undersheriff Brandon Gaede and expressing condolences to his family.

This is a Senate resolution (S. Res. 359) honoring the life of Undersheriff Brandon Gaede of Phillips County, Kansas, and expressing condolences to his family. The measure highlights Gaede’s career—from correctional officer to deputy, sergeant, and finally undersheriff—as well as his leadership, service, and family life. It notes that he died in the line of duty on June 27, 2025, while attempting to take a suspect into custody. The resolution states that the Senate highly respects his service, offers condolences to his family, pays tribute to his sacrifice, and calls on all levels of government to support the family. It is a ceremonial, non-binding expression of appreciation and sympathy, not a new law or policy.
