Stephen G. Fleck, “The Chief”, 101 (and a half) years, went home to the Lord, shortly after midnight on May 7, 2022.&nbsp; Chief took his final breaths surrounded by his loving family and the caring staff of Premiere Estates in the place he called home. Steve was born “one Frosty Winter Morn” November 16, 1920 to Michael Fleck (a German immigrant fleeing Nazi rule) and Mathilda Gerhardt in Timmer, North Dakota.&nbsp; Steve was the oldest first-born son, preceded in death by Anna, his older sister, who died in the 1919 flu epidemic. Even though Steve had 6 siblings, Steve was the apple of him mom’s eye and the family lived on a farm near Solen, North Dakota.&nbsp; Times were very hard, the family survived by farming during the Dirty Thirties drought.&nbsp; Steve’s dad, Michael, passed away September 21, 1937, but during one of Steve’s hospital visits to his dad, Steve’s dad told him he felt sorry for him, knowing his son would be tasked with taking care of his mom and siblings.&nbsp; Steve cared for his family by farming, working in the beet fields, sacking potatoes and joining the Civilian Conservation Corp for 6 months. Steve graduated High School in 1939 in Solen, North Dakota.&nbsp; With the beginning of the World War, Steve, one of the Greatest Generation, joined the Navy in 1943 as a radio operator being very proficient in Morse code and a German interpreter to the prisoners. After Steve’s discharge from the Navy in 1945, Steve moved to Kansas City, Kansas, where he met the love of his life, Ruth Dennis.&nbsp; Steve and Ruth were married November 30, 1946.&nbsp; Steve got a job with the Federal Aviation Administration and often told the story about how the man doing the hiring was very moved by Steve’s Catholic faith and asked him “Where were you 6 months ago?”&nbsp; Steve and Ruth were transferred several times during his career and Ruth always wondered where she would put up next year’s Christmas tree.&nbsp; Several years and 6 kids later, Steve and Ruth settled in North Platte, NE in 1965 and made it their home for the rest of their lives. Steve loved his family, and he and Ruth followed them as they participated in various sports activities.&nbsp; Steve was a master accordion player and a family favorite was “You Are My Sunshine.”&nbsp; He also enjoyed winning at the slot machines as he chauffeured Ruth to many gambling trips to Rosebud.&nbsp; Steve was a very humble man, and embraced and loved his Catholic faith, attending Saturday night mass at St. Patrick’s Church until he became housebound just a couple of years before his death.&nbsp; Steve prayed the rosary every day…and as a young parent gathered his family around the bed for a family rosary every night during Lent.&nbsp; Steve often wondered why God kept him around so long…we all knew he was left here to pray for his family.&nbsp; He was our “Saint”, and our “Angel” on earth.

Steve leaves behind a legacy of humility, love, and the best Coffee in town. He was the Coffee Shop for both 11:00 Boys Club and the evening sisters Therapy Sessions. &nbsp;Sitting, listening, singing, dancing, offering advice, therapy, debate, love and birthday wishes!&nbsp; Walking Grandpa to lunch was an honor that will be missed by all!&nbsp; Steve &amp; Ruth are now reunited serving Flecks Heavenly Special Brew in the Lords Coffee Shop!&nbsp; Ich Liebe Dich, Machs Gut, Auf Wiedersehen!&nbsp; Love, Take care, Goodbye!&nbsp; Waiting for you to flicker your porch light, Dad, from Heaven’s door!

Steve is preceded in death by his wife Ruth, his parents, Michael &amp; Mathilda Fleck, Brother, Matt, Mike, Ted, and Roger.&nbsp; Sisters, Anna and Mary, 3 grandsons, Shane Toll, Jason Sedlacek, and Ezra Sedlacek. Steve is survived by his two sons, Steven “Mick” (Sue) Fleck, Duane (Jody) Fleck; four daughters, Linda (Ray) Toll, Cindy (Tom) Huntsman, Marsha (Gene) Sedlacek, and Madonna (Stacey) Madsen all of North Platte, except Linda, who lives in Hoxie, Kansas.&nbsp; A sister, Phyllis Eckroth, of Bismark, North Dakota, 21 grandchildren, 52 great grandchildren, and 7 Great, Great Grandchildren.

Vivian B Todd (1930-2022)

Karen Ann Dailey, 59, of North Platte, Nebraska, passed away May 5, 2022 at Great Plains Health in North Platte. She was born on April 6, 1963 to Harold “Bob” and Phyllis (Parloek) Laudenklos in Columbus, Nebraska.&nbsp;

Karen graduated from Monroe High School in 1981. &nbsp;Two of Karen’s passions as a young girl were her horses and her show cattle, both with which she was very talented and accomplished.&nbsp; She made many trips to the Denver Stock Show to fit cattle for various people and it was something in which she took tremendous pride.&nbsp; A year after her high school graduation, Karen attended NCTA School, Curtis, Nebraska and worked at Brown Bag Liquor.&nbsp; It was there that she met the love of her life, Kyle Dailey.&nbsp; They were united in marriage on April 27, 1987 in Stapleton, Nebraska.&nbsp; To this union one son was born, Kasey Lynn Dailey, on September 25, 1988.&nbsp; Early in their marriage the couple lived in Oberlin, Kansas where they stayed a short eight months before moving back to Nebraska.&nbsp; Living in Nebraska they worked for various ranches that included Watkins Ranch, Arnold; Trego Ranch, Sutherland; Whitewater Inc., Arthur; in 2004 they moved to the Opplinger Land &amp; Cattle, northwest of Tryon and managed the ranch for 15 years.&nbsp; It was there Karen went above and beyond as a ranch wife spending many miles in the saddle helping work cattle and many hours in the kitchen making sure everybody was fed.&nbsp; She was a second mom and caretaker to all of the young ranch hands and their families that worked at the ranch over the years.&nbsp; She was known to all of them as “Momma Karen.”&nbsp; Karen was also very proud and cherished the time she spent working for Art and Ilene Daly for almost 20 years.&nbsp;&nbsp; She often commented how the fall was her favorite time of year.&nbsp; Karen was also very proud of her house, her yard and her garden where she spent countless hours cleaning, mowing, weeding and decorating for every holiday.&nbsp; Barrell racing was one of her true passions.&nbsp; She was very dedicated and made sure she spent time training her horses in all types of weather.&nbsp; Through the 90’s, she belonged to an All-Girls Rodeo Association and had many achievements during this time.&nbsp; Karen was dedicated and loyal, travelling with her husband Kyle all over the state to various team roping and rodeos over the years. She was just as knowledgeable about the sport as any other attendee. Many came to her with questions about a horse or steer or maybe just to vent.&nbsp; In 2019, Kyle and Karen moved off the Oppliger Ranch and bought their own place north of North Platte. Karen’s heart remained in the Sandhill’s way of life, and her love for horses and cattle led to day work for various ranchers around there when called. She had most recently taken a job working for Bob and Becky Tiedamen. There she happily put her skills as a “steer jock’ back to work. They were impressed with how she handled their cattle and her special ability to gentle them down. Karen was truly a horseman, cattleman, wife, and mom to many, all in one package.

Survivors include husband Kyle of North Platte; son Kasey Dailey of Tryon; special daughter Meka Melvin of Tryon; mother Phyllis Loudenklos of Columbus; several other family members and friends.

Karen was preceded in death by her father, Harold “Bob” Loudenklos; special mentor Art Doly.

Dorothea Lydia “Dotty” Roseberry slipped into the arms of her Beloved Lord and Savior on May 5, 2022, after a hard-fought battle with cancer. Dotty was born to Richard and Amelia (Miller) Winkenwerder on May 18, 1938, near Sutherland, NE. As a youngest of 14 children, she was the only one not born at home … she was born at the neighbor’s house. She always remarked that her parents certainly did not need another child so she figured God must have sent her for some special reason. She became the caregiver for many members of her family and friends, she was also considered as the “glue” that held the family close according to her nieces. Dotty started school in the Lamont country school between Hershey and Sutherland, then attended Waverly High School in Waverly, NE while living with a sister. After graduating in 1956, she considered joining the Air Force but changed to pre-nursing in Midland College in Fremont, and then worked as an LPN in Pendleton, OR. She later worked at the old Memorial Hospital in North Platte. She joined Rural Youth after coming home to Nebraska and was selected in 1965 as an International Farm Youth Exchange (Peace Through Understanding) to Germany. This changed her life – because of this experience, she traveled the world, made, and kept friends in many countries and states, hosted young people from all over the world to share Nebraska with the world and most importantly, met her future husband, Jim Roseberry. Their relationship almost didn’t happen because at first, he reminded her of an old childhood enemy. Jim and Dotty were married on November 26, 1966 – after haying and weaning was done but before winter feeding started. They welcomed son David into the family in 1968, followed by daughters Mari and Amy. Foster son Monte Dill joined the family in 1980. Bonus daughter Marta was an exchange hosted in 1987, who also became part of the family. In 1993, Jim and Dotty were given the Great Nebraska Family Award by Governor Ben Nelson, because of their work with and welcoming of all young people. Dotty held numerous jobs over her lifetime and excelled at all of them (although she didn’t always like all of them): nursing, Bessey Tree Nursery crew, cook, then maintenance at the Nebraska State 4-H Camp, Farm Crisis Hotline, Census, and of course, rancher, and ranch wife. She also had numerous volunteer jobs and had an amazing green thumb – having large and numerous flower and vegetable gardens each year, plus a year-round hobby greenhouse. She also loved and constantly added to her extensive nativity collection.

Greeting her in Heaven was her beloved grandson Cole Roseberry, son Monte Dill, her parents, and 12 siblings, several nieces, nephews, and special friends Ina Coffman, Lex Ann Simonson, and Phyllis Saner. Left to celebrate her life are her husband Jim of Dunning, son Dave of Kearney, daughters Mari of Dunning, and Amy (Stephen) Schweitzer of Kearney, bonus daughter Marta (Tim) Odegard of St. Paul, MN, grandchildren Ty (fiancée Gina Brokke), and Cash Roseberry, Bret Schweitzer, and Evan, Marcos, Maria, and Nicholas Odegard, sister Edith Phetteplace, special kitty Maggie, numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and an entire community of loving friends and neighbors.

Dotty was a faithful supporter of many causes and charities close to her heart, so as a memorial we ask that you donate to your favorite cause. Some of her favorites include Sandhills Community Church, Sandhills Benevolent Fund, Sandhills Cancer Fund, Women’s Resource Center, Samaritan’s Purse and GoodDays.com who helped pay many of her medical bills over time.

Jerome Francis Vieyra, II, 37, of North Platte, Nebraska, left this life too soon March 31, 2022 in North Platte.&nbsp; He was born April 15, 1984 to Jerome F. and Donna L. (Tucker) Vieyra in Albuquerque, New Mexico.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Jerome graduated from North Platte High School in 2002. Upon graduation, he attended Garden City Community College on a full ride baseball scholarship.&nbsp; It wasn’t long before he missed the Good Life and transferred to University Nebraska Kearney where he continued his education and college baseball career.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; While studying in Kearney, he met the love of his life, Abigail Opela, and they were married August 21, 2009 in Stapleton, Nebraska. They decided to put down their roots in North Platte and Jerome took a position at TK’s Welding’s.&nbsp; Jerome’s talents were immense/plentiful and he set his sights on a business of his own. In 2014, Vieyra’s Metal Works, a fabrication and welding business,&nbsp;was established in Sutherland, Nebraska.&nbsp; The business flourished and in 2018 Jerome moved his family and the business to North Platte. In 2016, Jerome and Abigail were blessed with the birth of their son, Jerome Francis III, and in 2020, with the birth of their daughter, Opela Kristin.&nbsp; Jerome was a force of nature- he lived big, he loved hard- he was determined to give his family the life they deserved.&nbsp; His family meant more to him than anything else in the world, something he proudly and often mentioned.&nbsp; Being a father was his most precious and prestigious honor. Quality family time was spent teaching his children his unique skills and sharing in his artistic talent.&nbsp; Jerome was a fun-loving and one-of-a-kind father, allowing his children to express themselves creatively even if it meant he had to wear bright pink lipstick and matching nail polish.&nbsp; He would often return the favor and paint his daughter’s nails and apply the same pretty lipstick and then let her kiss him all over-- he loved to make her feel special.&nbsp; Time with Jerome III was a little more manly.&nbsp; They spent hours together in the shop and outdoors. &nbsp;Jerome was known for letting Jerome III spray paint his toys and bikes. He was up for anything that added creativity or a personal flare.&nbsp; &nbsp;An avid outdoorsman, Jerome loved hunting, fishing, camping and the 4th&nbsp;of July.&nbsp; His interests and talents were vast and varied. With an inquisitive mind and a passion for learning, Jerome was always reading, learning, and trying new things. He could often be found with his nose in a phone watching “How To” videos on YouTube. &nbsp; From learning how to wire his house to building spin tops on his lathe for the kids, Jerome was always tinkering, creating, and working with his hands.&nbsp;&nbsp;He was an exceptional welder, fabricator, and artist. Everything Jerome did, he did with his whole heart, he was extreme and extravagant.&nbsp; Jerome will forever be remembered as a devoted father and a loyal friend.&nbsp; Making friends was easy for Jerome as he had a personality and smile that could light up the darkest of rooms. Warmth, vibrance, and a little orneriness radiated from his exuberant laugh. &nbsp; His childlike spirit and zest for life made him easy to love.&nbsp; There was never a dull moment when he was around. Jerome’s legacy will live on in the sweet smiles and sparkling eyes of his precious children who will remember a father that loved them deeply.&nbsp;

Jerome is survived by his wife, Abigail of North Platte; children, Jerome “Tres” Vieyra III and Opela Vieyra from North Platte; his parents Jerry and Donna Vieyra, North Platte; sister, Salena (Caleb Goforth) Vieyra, Omaha, Nebraska; nephews, Logan and Aiden Goforth, Omaha, Nebraska; grandmother, Francis O.

Jack was born on September 11, 1937 in Valentine, Nebraska, the son of John Lloyd and Florence May Charbonneau Davey. Jack’s bio dad died when he was only 9 months old. Later, his mother married Walter Mack Barnebey, and when Jack was about 9 years of age, Walter adopted him.&nbsp; It was Jack’s decision to keep his Davey name, he did so because there was already another Jack Barnebey at the time. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Jack began his military career with the United States Air Force in 1961, as well as his first family. He graduated from The University of Nebraska with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, married his first wife, Lois Joan Curfman, and entered the United States Air Force all on the same day, June 10, 1961.&nbsp; From this union they had two highly successful sons, Col. Justin C Davey and Dr. Curtis A Davey. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Jack’s maternal great grandfather was Jean Baptiste Charbonneau, the baby who was born on the Lewis and Clark trail to Sacajawea (also known as Bird Woman) and Toussaint Charbonneau, hired to be a cook on the Expedition. Jack is Sicangu Lakota and an enrolled member of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe. Jack’s first Indian naming ceremony occurred when he was about 15 years old, he received the Indian name of Wicahpi Wiyakpa (Bright/Intelligent Star). The ceremony was conducted by a friend of Jack’s gramma, Jennie Charbonneau, Dewey Beard, also known as Chief Iron Hale. Dewey Beard was about 96 years old at the time of Jack’s naming ceremony in 1953. The Omaha World Herald newspaper wrote several articles about Dewey Beard. Sioux history says he survived the three major battles of the Indian Wars: Little Big Horn, Rosebud and Wounded Knee massacre. Dewey Beard was about 19 during the Battle of the Greasy Grass, also known as Custer’s Last Stand. Dewey Beard also says he fought at Rosebud, where the Sioux foiled the plan of General George Crook to join General Custer in a pincers movement. Dewey Beard was at Wounded Knee on December 29, 1890, where most of the group was killed by Seventh Cavalry troops. Dewey was wounded, his wife, baby, mother and father were among those slain.

For seven years, Jack and Susan Davey lived full time on the Rosebud Sioux Reservation, SD.&nbsp; In 2001, they purchased their retirement home in Phoenix, AZ and divided their time between the two homes, until 2014.&nbsp; The highlights of their time on the REZ were Jack’s grandchildren, and adopted granddaughter, Ashley coming to spend summers at “Camp Davey.”&nbsp; The kids learned many things about their grandfather’s Indian culture and ceremonies of their Indian heritage. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; After his military career, Jack worked many years with Department of Defense Contractors.&nbsp; Martin Marietta Corporation and General Dynamics, where he interfaced with other Defense Contactor companies as well. Jack and Susan both worked with Applied Communications Inc, a Tandem Telecom Cellnet Program out of Omaha, NE. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; In 1994, Jack began teaching at Sinte Gleska University (Spotted Tail University) in Mission, SD. Spotted Tail is a great Uncle to Jack. &nbsp;Jack taught Physics, Electronics and Renewable Energy.&nbsp; Jack served as a consultant at Grass Mountain school on the Rosebud Reservation. Jack was privileged to sit the drum and sing Indian songs with his good friend, Calvin Standing Bear, and had a special relationship with his Misun, Florentine Blue Thunder. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Jack and his wife, Susan shared their passion for animals. They saved more than they could count. A special gift was their dog, Mato Caga (Lakota for Polar Bear). She was a pure white German Sheppard and Wolf mix and gave them four years of pure love.

Dwana Rae (Axtell) Christy was born to Forrest and Edna Axtell on Dec. 11, 1932, at the Axtell Ranch two miles from Anselmo. She grew up in the Sandhills of Nebraska during the Great Depression. She was raised with her big brother, Gene and younger sisters, Wanda and Mary on the family ranch. Life was not easy, but it was a lifestyle that helped Dwana develop an appreciation of "the simple things." Dwana married William Stephen Christy on Dec. 21, 1952. Although they grew up five miles apart, they did not meet until they attended high school in Anselmo. They both attended Kearney State Teachers College prior to returning to the Sandhills to teach at country schools. After the birth of their daughter, Pamela Rae, Dwana became a full-time homemaker and daughter Penny Lynn arrived three years later. Bill and Dwana moved their family of four to Sidney in 1961 after Bill accepted a teaching job there. Daughter Terri Jo was born the next year. Sidney became Bill and Dwana's permanent home. Dwana raised the girls, being a strong and stable support for Bill and his dual careers as a teacher and his rise to Brigadier General for the National Guard. She was awarded The Order of Molly Pitcher as she "Distinguished herself through faithful and devoted and patriotic service to the Nebraska National Guard." When her children were older, Dwana worked as a dental assistant, a librarian assistant and helped with special needs children at Sidney High School. Dwana was much loved by her students. As one friend noted, "Dwana was always kind to the children and knew exactly what they needed." After Bill passed away in 2019, Dwana continued to be the link between Bill, the family and earthly affairs. She remained independent until her passing. Dwana and Bill were beloved as caring and generous members of their family and communities. They did not know a stranger and were a help to many in time of need.
