Services for Brody Minton, 17, of Lawrence, will be at 11 a.m. Friday July 26th, 2024, at Rumsey-Yost Funeral Home.
Brody passed Tuesday, July 16th, 2024, in a wooded area in the 900 block of North 1150 Road at Clinton Lake.
He was born September 15th, 2006, in Topeka. The son of Jennifer and Thomas Minton. He attended Lawrence High School where he was set to begin his senior year this upcoming August.

The program advocated for access to higher education through comprehensive, personalized support services to empower eligible students to achieve academic success, after being nominated by his teacher at LHS for his abilities with mathematics.
Brody worked as a server at Burgers by Bigg’s in Lawrence, a locally owned restaurant.
He is survived by his father Thomas Minton, his mother Jennifer Minton, his brother Colton Minton, 18, and his sister Evelyn Minton, 16.
