The community of Regina, Saskatchewan, is mourning the sudden and heartbreaking loss of Branden Banga, a devoted husband, loving father, and respected journeyman lineman at Hundseth Power Line Construction. Branden passed away unexpectedly on Monday, leaving behind a legacy defined by hard work, loyalty, and deep devotion to his family.
Branden was admired not only for his professional skills but also for the warmth and kindness he carried into every part of his life. Known for his strong work ethic and determination, he built a reputation as a dependable and talented lineman. Colleagues remember him as someone who led by example—committed to his craft, always ready to support his team, and deeply respected within the power line industry.
While Branden took pride in his career, his greatest joy was found at home. He was a family man through and through, balancing the demands of his work with his role as a caring husband and father. His wife, Jessie Banga, shared a moving tribute in the wake of his passing, writing:
“It is with absolute heartbreak, I announce the passing of my husband, my best friend, my rock, my other half, the father of my babies. The world feels very unfair, heavy, and my heart literally aches. Fifteen years together wasn’t the plan. The plan was to grow old with you.”
Those who knew Branden say he lived with an unwavering sense of loyalty and love. His children were the light of his life, and his dedication to them and Jessie was evident in everything he did. Friends and relatives describe him as someone who could be relied upon for support, encouragement, and laughter, a man whose presence brought comfort and strength to those around him.
Beyond family and work, Branden is remembered as a genuine friend whose kindness touched many lives. His sudden passing has left an irreplaceable void in the hearts of all who knew him, but his legacy will continue through the love he gave, the lessons he taught, and the example he set.
Funeral arrangements for Branden Banga have not yet been announced. In the meantime, his family, friends, and colleagues continue to grieve deeply while celebrating the life of a man whose time came far too soon.
