Kevin Oden Obituary

JONESBORO – "Bo Bo" Kevin Lynn Oden Jr. departed this life Sunday, Sept. 4, 2022, in Jonesboro. He was 39 and holding. He was of the Baptist faith.

Bo was a man who never met a stranger. He would give you the shirt off his back, even if it was the only one he had. When he loved you, you knew he would love you to the end, no matter what. He loved strong.

He was a bricklayer, thanks to Josh Marsh and the Marsh family.

He could always make you feel better and put a smile on your face. He was a handful at times, but he had a loving heart.

He loved fishing and playing pool, even though he wasn't very good at it. He loved his children and all of his family.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Van and Ann Coffman and Leonard and Nina Oden, and a brother-in-law, Buzz Marsh.

He is survived by his mother, Leisa Oden; sister, Krystal Ann (Josh) Marsh and their children, Joshua, Felicity, Paul and Lily Gale Marsh; his children, Chandler and Reece Barber and their mother Misty Barber, Jarrod Delcoure, Todd Oden and Travis Oden and their mother, Jeanie Delcoure, and Adalyn Paige Oden; his Aunt Sissy and his Uncle Jason Walker; 11 nephews and three nieces; eight cousins; Jimmy and Debbie Hall and their whole family; his father, Kevin (Toni) Oden Sr., and six stepsisters, Ashley (Terry) Pickering, Melinda Braxton, Brandie (Shannon) Baker, Amber Henson, Selina Henson and Katie Henson; uncles, Randy (Rita) Oden and Gary (Liz) Oden; aunt, Sandra (Gerald) George; great-aunt, Joan (Jerry) Richey; along with nieces, nephews, cousins and many many friends.

Funeral services will be 6 p.m. Monday at Emerson Memorial Chapel with Stephen Russell officiating and Emerson Funeral Home in charge of arrangements. Visitation will be from 5 p.m. until service time. Burial will be private.
