I am so saddened by this news. About 25 years ago, my family would go camping almost every weekend, and the families of my brothers' friends always went, too. The Odles were part of that group. My deepest condolences to his ex-wife, Diane, and son Jason, other family members and his friends, of which Kenny obviously had many.

Ken was GREAT to work with - a lot of us at Prairie Life Center had the pleasure of working with him! He was a good guy, and very funny -he coached me on my fake Texas accent that will suffer poorly now! He was always interested in what was going on in my family and how my life was going, a great friend. He will be missed but never forgotten!

Ken was the best salesman. He had a great way of talking to anyone. He will be missed by co-workers and customers. I will miss the ice cream he would bribe me with when I worked on his schedule.

Ken was a great person to work with. He sure thought Jalapeno's was one of the five major food groups and if it wasn't it should have been. He was a crazy Texas Fan and made sure he wore his Longhorn Orange during football season, for living in Lincoln that was crazy. He will be missed by all of his Fort Family.

Ken was the greatest co-worker EVER! He and I had a joke about me(being a cashier) clocking him in as number 179(his Fort number is 178)He always had time to stop and say HI how you doin'. I will miss him tons! The boot dept at The Fort will never be the same without him. He was a great friend!
