Senanu Dzifa Sogah (1975-2026)

The Tsrimega Royal Family, the Selormey and Sogah families of Ghana and the United States announce 

with profound sadness the sudden and untimely passing of their beloved son, father, brother, nephew, 

grandson, and relatives, Senanu "Sen" Dzifa Sogah. Senanu passed away suddenly on Saturday, July 11th 2026, in Nashville, Tennessee. He was born on September 22, 1975 in Los Angeles, California, to Dotsevi and Monica Sogah.

 

In 1980, Senanu moved with his parents to Wilmington, Delaware, when his father joined the DuPont Company. There, he attended Ursuline Academy for his early elementary education, St. Edmond's Academy for middle school, and Salesianum School through the 10th grade. When the family relocated to Ithaca, New York, after his father accepted a position as Professor of Chemistry at Cornell University, 

 

Senanu transferred to Ithaca High School, where he graduated in 1993. He later attended both the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and Colorado State University, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management from Colorado State.

 

Senanu dedicated his professional career to the insurance industry. He worked for Blue Cross Anthem in Thousand Oaks, California, and later for The Hartford Insurance Company in Nashville, Tennessee, where he was respected for his professionalism and commitment.

 

A lifelong sports enthusiast, Senanu excelled in athletics from an early age. He played basketball at St. Edmond's Academy and football at both Salesianum School and Ithaca High School. His athletic talent earned him a place on the All-Star Team after Ithaca High School won the football championship during the 1992–1993 season.

 

Football remained one of Senanu's greatest passions throughout his life. After moving to Wilmington, he 

became a devoted fan of the Philadelphia Eagles, a loyalty he carried with pride for the rest of his life. In 

college sports, he faithfully supported his beloved UCLA Bruins. His remarkable knowledge of football, 

especially player and team statistics, was well known among family and friends. His passion for the game 

eventually inspired him and several fellow enthusiasts to launch a football podcast while he was living in California.

 

Above all, Senanu will be remembered for the way he touched people's lives. He possessed a warm heart, 

a generous spirit, a captivating smile, and an infectious sense of humor that brought joy to those around him. He was deeply loved by family, friends, colleagues, and everyone privileged to know him. His legacy of love, compassion, kindness, and laughter will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew him.

 

Senanu is survived by his beloved children, Isaiah and Alana and their mother Kathy Sogah; his father, 

Dotsevi Sogah; his siblings, Dodzie and Esinam (Esi) Sogah; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and 

extended family members in Ghana and the United States. He was preceded in death by his beloved mother, Monica Sogah.

 

Though his life was cut tragically short, Senanu's memory will remain a source of comfort, inspiration, and enduring love. He will be profoundly missed and forever remembered.

 

The funeral will be on Saturday July 

25, 2026, 9:00 am - 12:00 pm am at Pierce Brothers Valley Oaks-Griffin Memorial Park, Mortuary &
