Sogbety Diomande, a man of abounding joy and enthusiasm, passed from this life on September 11, 2025, at the age of 46.

Sogbety, Master Drummer, touched many lives through his drumming, dancing, and teaching of West African Culture. Countless children and adults alike have shared about the smiles he inspired through music and dance from Côte d’Ivoire.

He was the proud father of his young daughter Olivia and his son Abou whom he loved endlessly. Sogbety is survived by his mother Maboudou Kobe, his brothers, his sister, his son Abou Diomande, and his daughter Olivia Diomande.

A graveside service will be held at Mansfield Cemetery on Friday, September 19th at 12:30 pm. All are welcomed to come and celebrate this amazing man’s life. A short reception will follow in a nearby location. The family would appreciate your love and support the most during this time, but if you want to bring a gift, monetary donations to his son would be the most helpful.

Snyder Funeral Homes is honored to serve Sogbety’s family and encourage you to share a fond memory or message of condolence on his obituary page at www.SnyderFuneralHomes.com.
