Updated Obituary -Brian Yaple
John Brian Yaple was born in a hospital hallway on November 27, 1971, in Anderson, Indiana, to Gail and Ralph Yaple. Establishing his history of impatience and habit of arriving early.
As he arrived early to the beginning of his life, so he arrived early to its end, on May 14, 2019. His beloved canine companion, Polly, was by his side and joined him in death.
Brian attended grade school and junior high in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. He attended both Lee’s Summit High School and Harrisonville High School, graduating in 1990. He received an Associate’s Degree from Crowder College in Neosho, Missouri at his mother’s insistence, but found little about higher education to recommend.
A man of few words, Brian reliedon his actions speaking for him. He was skilled in carpentry, machinery, horse showing, bull riding, tree climbing, brother fighting, trampoline flips, and happily living out of a semi, racking up thousands of miles when lesser men would have been driven insane by solitude and close quarters.
Brian worked for TMK Trucking for 10 years, until a necessary heart surgery ended his life on the road. After recovering from his illness, he began a new career at Whitaker Aggregates in Ottawa Kansas that he loved. He was initially distressed by the loss of his open road lifestyle, but learned that without constant motion he had more time and proximity to spend with his four grandbabies, whom he adored.
If you were his friend, he loved you fiercely and would have done anything for you, but wouldn’t have told you so. If you weren’t his friend, he had no time for you, and would never have pretended that he did.
He is survived by his only child, Brittany Eaton of Higginsville, MO; his mother, Gail of Harrisonville, MO; his father and step-mother, Ralph and Charlene of Lenexa, KS; and grandchildren, Wyatt, Lucas, Jasper and Olivia. He is also survived by his siblings: Jill Finn (and husband Sean) of Lawrence, KS; Paul Yaple (and wife Robin) of Lone Tree, CO; Matt Yaple of MO; and their children: Hope, Hannah, Lauren, AJ, and Allison.
Among Brian’s talents was the ability to quote “Darby O’Gill and The Little People” in its entirety.We know that when the CoisteBodhar came for him, Brian quoted Darby.
“Ah, it’s better for the old to die than the young. In the end, we all have to go.”
We wish we could go with you all the way, Brian.

Shooting in Benton County
Henderson fled from the scene in a pickup truck that was later recovered in a remote area East of Ionia. It is believed that Henderson was picked up by an individual and removed from that location. MSHP Swat, along with Henry County, Pettis County and many other State Troopers and a Helicopter armed with FLIR, canvassed the surrounding area well into the early morning hours.
It is not believed that Henderson is a threat to the general public but citizens should be aware and call 911 if he is spotted. Henderson is armed and should not be approached.
There is not a good clothing description or direction of of travel at this time so I will update you as our investigation continues
Hudson elementary students take trip to the past...
Hudson 5th through 8th grade classes traveled to the Steamboat Arabia Museum last week and got a first hand view of the treasures unearthed 45 feet below a Kansas cornfield
When the mighty Steamboat Arabia sank near Kansas City on September 5, 1856, she carried 200 tons of mystery cargo. Lost for 132 years, its recovery in 1988 was like finding the King Tut’s Tomb of the Missouri River. The discovery was truly a modern day treasure-hunting story at its best.
The artifacts are preserved and displayed at the Arabia Steamboat Museum, located in the historic City Market. From clothing, fine china and carpentry tools to guns, dishes and children’s toys to the world’s oldest pickles—the collection captivates visitors of all ages.
