Truitt Daniel Hendrix

Truitt Daniel Hendrix, age 19, of Lee’s Summit, Missouri, passed away on December 25, 2025. He was born on January 2, 2006, to Troy and Amanda Hendrix in Overland Park, Kansas, and spent his life in Raymore, Rich Hill and Lee’s Summit.

Truitt had a deep love for playing the drums, which he did with both talent and energy. He was drawn to sports cars, local racing events, hunting, and fishing. He was baptized in Rich Hill, MO. He attended classes at Crowder College while exploring the next steps in his journey.

Truitt was the son of Troy Daniel and Amanda Rose (Mapes) Hendrix. He is survived by his six siblings: Triston (Lydia Fry), Aubrey (Carter Hunzeker), Aliya, Tayton, Titus, and Ava. He came from a big family where he carved out his own path and was known for his independent spirit.

He is survived by his grandparents: Grandmother Kathy and Grandfather Dennis Hendrix, and Grandfather Dale Mapes. He was preceded in death by his Grandmother Dorothy Mapes.

Truitt is also survived by his Aunt Tonya and Uncle Scott O’Brien of Lee’s Summit, MO; Aunt Tacy and Uncle Clayson Lyons of Rich Hill, MO; and Aunt Jo and Uncle Dale Drake of Worthing, SD—along with 15 cousins who loved him and will carry his memory forward.
