Kenneth Overman Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Daniel Funeral Homes - Saint Cloud on Jan. 28, 2024.
Kenneth "Ken" Frank Overman was born on October 10th, 1948 to Joseph and Evelyn (Roering) Overman in St. Cloud. He passed on Wednesday, January 24th, 2024 after enjoying dinner with his wife at home. He was 75 years old.
Ken is survived by his loving wife of 43 years Mitzi; two daughters Kim (Mike) Waldt and Kaitlin (Ryan Reuss) Overman; two granddaughters Parker and Kennedy Waldt; mother Evelyn; sister Joanne Milam; and dozens of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and extended family members. Ken is preceded in death by his father Joseph and brother Gerald.
Ken will forever be remembered by his loved ones as loyal, witty, hard-working, and the go-to person to remember a date. After decades in the auto industry, Ken, affectionately nicknamed "Big O," is proudly remembered by many in the area as an honest used car salesman. After retiring (a couple of times), Ken enjoyed wood working, sipping coffee with friends, and sharing goldfish crackers with his granddaughter.
Celebration of life will be held on Friday, February 2nd, 2024 from 3:00-6:00pm at Daniel Funeral Home in St. Cloud. Immediately following the visitation, friends and family members are encouraged to share a prayer or story of remembrance beginning at 6:00pm. Ken will be cremated and his remains will be laid to rest at Fort Snelling. A military honors and committal service will be held on a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations are appreciated.
