Anthony D.
Osborn
Anthony D Osborn, 54, of Shawnee, KS passed away May 30, 2022, at home. Memorial services will be held from 4pm – 8pm, Tuesday, June 28, 2022, at the Culinary Center of Kansas City, Overland Park, KS.
Anthony was born June 30, 1967, in Kansas City, MO to Jerry D Osborn and Martha Chaney Johnson. Anthony graduated from Clinton Senior High School, Clinton, MO in 1985. He attended Southwest Missouri State University. Anthony personified the term, “Zest for Life”. He never, ever, met a stranger and loved everyone. Lighting up a room with his fun-loving personality, sense of humor, smile, and infectious laugh, was second nature to him.
Much of Anthony’s adult life was spent working in the food service industry where he made many of his lifelong friends. He was a loving husband, son, brother, and uncle. Anthony will be missed by all of his aunts, uncles, cousins, step-brothers and sisters, step-nieces and nephews, and a multitude of friends.
He was preceded in death by: grandparents, Roma D and Alta Osborn and V.A. and Orel Chaney; and step-father, Joe C. Johnson, Jr.
Survivors include: husband, Brent Grider; father, Jerry D Osborn and his wife, Linda; mother, Martha Johnson; brother, Matt Osborn and his wife, Carla; and nephew, Landon Osborn.
Because of his love for toys and his hobby of collecting, donations to the Toys for Tots in his name would make him extremely happy. If you plan to attend the Celebration of Life and want to bring a toy, please do. Any photos or memories you have to share, we will gladly include in his memory book.
Anthony, you will never be forgotten!
