Harold "Dean" Jensen (1935-2023)

Kent Craig Peterson, 90, of Gothenburg went on to his Heavenly Home on October 8, 2023. Kent was born on the family farm, 12 miles north of Brady, NE, in Wild Horse Valley, to Ernest and Susie (Craig) Peterson.&nbsp;

He attended Spannuth Country School, through the 8th grade and then went on to Brady High School, where he &nbsp;graduated in 1952, with a class of 7 students. &nbsp;The summer before high school, Kent accepted the Lord as his Savior. &nbsp;Even though he was reluctant, he felt it was God's plan that he attend high school. While in high school, he started a hay baling business after purchasing an Allis-Chalmers baler. &nbsp;

Kent married Marian Rodine on September 18, 1954, at the Evangelical Free Church in Gothenburg. They moved to Wild Horse Valley and lived in the Johnson House, 3/4 mile east of the Peterson Homestead, where Tamera was born in 1957. &nbsp;Later, they were blessed with three additional children: Joni, Craig and Brent. In 1958, they moved to the family farm, when Ernest and Susie moved to Brady.

Kent was a father, farmer, rancher, entrepreneur, negotiator and of course a story teller. He was a man of many firsts in the Wild Horse Valley and was not afraid to think outside of the box. In the early 1970’s, when I-80 was opened, he built a fast food restaurant called “Kent’s Drive Inn" known for his soft serve twist ice cream cones. Next door he built the first self-service gas station in the area where gas prices started at 33.9 cents a gallon. He also built a full service repair shop for customers along the Brady interchange. &nbsp;During the summer, after farming all day, he would run the drive inn with the help of Tamera and Craig flipping burgers.

Around 1975, he wished to expand his farmland for crops. He put in two center pivots south of the homestead, which was quite hilly. He was the talk of the Wild Horse Valley as his neighbors watched him moving dirt and removing trees with his Caterpillar bulldozer.

He organized a Men's Brotherhood Group for local men in the area. They would meet once a month at the Svea Dal Church, where he was also a member on the Church Board, Sunday School Superintendent, a Deacon and on the Cemetery Board.

He enjoyed old cars and had quite the collection over the years. &nbsp;One of his favorite cars was his 1948 Chrysler Convertible, which was featured in the movie, “Dear Eleanor”, that was filmed in Colorado in 2013. &nbsp;He and Marian even made a cameo appearance in the movie.

In 1998, Kent and Marian moved to the family cabin at Jeffrey Lake. While living there, Kent continued to add on and renovate the cabin, in his spare time. They made many wonderful memories, with family and friends, during the time they lived there

Kent had a stroke in 2007, which left him paralyzed on his left side. It didn’t seem to slow him down much. They were able to spend a couple winters in Surprise, AZ, where they enjoyed the warm weather and being close to their Arizona family. Kent enjoyed playing shuffleboard and Marian enjoyed water aerobics.&nbsp;

In 2016, they moved to a new duplex in Gothenburg. This worked out well for them in their golden years. They enjoyed 67 years of marriage. &nbsp;They faithfully kept their covenant with each other and the Lord Jesus Christ, as the center of their marriage. As a couple, Kent and Marian enjoyed collecting antiques and traveling. Some of their fondest trips were taking a cruise, going to Hawaii twice, as well as visiting their children and grandchildren in Delaware, Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado and Arizona.

Kent is survived by his daughter Tamera (Rocky) Herrick of St Johns, AZ, two sons, Craig (Kathy) Peterson of Berthoud, CO and Brent Peterson (friend Joyce) of Brady; &nbsp;Eight grandchildren, Tanner, Colby and Drew Herrick of AZ, Kacee (Moore) Herrick, MI, Payton and Collin Peterson of CO, Shanell Peterson of TX, &nbsp;Madalyn Peterson of AZ and 12 great grandchildren, and many more nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.&nbsp;

He was preceded in death by his wife, Marian, his daughter Joni Kay, his parents Ernest and Susie Peterson, his sisters Lavonne Peterson (Reichert) and Betheen Peterson (Melcher) and his in-laws Theodore and Nora Rodine.&nbsp;

The family is requesting all memorials for Kent to be sent to Svea Dal Church, Brady, NE. &nbsp;

A Celebration of Life gathering will be held at the Brady Community Center on Friday, October 20, 2023 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m.

Coby G. Davenport, 64, of Overton, Nebraska passed away on Friday, October 6, 2023 at CHI Health Good Samaritan in Kearney.

He always looked forward to card night (all night) with his buddies. Back in the day, he was all about the different Harley's he had owned and taking trips with his friends.

Coby is survived by his wife, Cindy of Overton; children, Paige (Jared) Wolfe of Glenvil, Nebraska and Cooper (Baley) Davenport of Overton; siblings, Rocky (Jackie) Davenport of Johnson Lake, Billi (Monte) Huckins of Overton, Tommye Davenport of Overton and Patch (Shelly) Davenport of Overton; grandchildren, Harper Lange, Hartley and Halsey Wolfe, Trux and Traylin Davenport; fur babies, Yeti, Diezel, and Roxie, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.

We would love for you to come and honor his life on Saturday, October 14, 2023 at 2:30 p.m. at Overton Cemetery with Pastor Ryan Findley, officiating.

Visitation will be held on Saturday, October 14, 2023 from Noon – 2:00 p.m. at Reynolds-Love Funeral Home in Lexington.

Virginia Rose Crook died at home on Sept. 25, 2023, in Colorado Springs, Colorado. She passed surrounded by her loving daughter, Cathryn Collins, and son-in-law, Dennis Collins.

Virginia was born on Aug. 8, 1927, in Sutherland, to Harry Lee Sr. and Velma Joyce (Purdy) Coleman. She grew up with her brother, Harry Lee Jr., in the Sandhills of Nebraska. She would often tell stories of her childhood, one being of how Jr. would shield her from harsh weather while they would ride their horse to and from school.

When Virginia grew up she became a teacher and then a manager at the McDonald drive-up bank in North Platte. Faith has always been a pillar in the Crook family, raising all of their children in the church, sharing her love for God by playing organ and/or piano for church services for many years and teaching Sunday School which is where she met her future son-in-law, Dennis, when he was only 5 years old. She gave him his first Bible.

Virginia lived a life that was full of faith, love and beauty. She was caring, and sweet, and would always bake copious amounts of goodies for the holidays. She filled her home with treasures and could play a great game of pinochle. She will be dearly missed by everyone who had the opportunity to meet her and even more so by those who had the privilege to love her.

Virginia was preceded in death by her husband, Ronald; and her son, Rex.

She is survived by her children, Mark (Becky) and Cathryn (Dennis); grandchildren and great-grandchildren, Joshua and Jen (Zach and Lily); Ashley; son, Jordan (preceded in death); Katie; Cassie; Stephanie (Tony) and children; Jessica (John) and children; brother-in-law, Gary (Rosa) Crook; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Virginia Rose Crook (1927-2023)

Myron Lynn Reynolds, age 74, of Broken Bow died Monday October 9, 2023, at the Arbor Care Home in Fullerton, NE.

&nbsp;Myron Lynn Reynolds was born on January 9, 1949, at Sargent, NE to Verne and Helen (Hunt) Reynolds. &nbsp;Early in Myron’s childhood he lived in the Cliff Table region west of Merna, later moving to the Ortello Valley and the Merna Valley. &nbsp;Myron graduated from Anselmo-Merna High School in 1967. &nbsp;With the Vietnam War taking place during his high school years Myron chose to enlist prior to graduation. &nbsp;He attended basic training at the US Naval Training Center in California. He was sent to the Macon Delta River region of Vietnam. During his time in Vietnam, he was sprayed with “Agent Orange” and this product caused some major health problems later in his life. &nbsp;He was honorably discharged from the United States Navy on November 14, 1969. &nbsp;Myron was proud to be recognized for his service during patriotic programs and observations such as Veterans Day.

Upon his return from Vietnam, he started farming with his father. &nbsp;Farming was his life. &nbsp;He loved raising corn, soybeans, cattle, and hogs. &nbsp;He farmed with his parents until 1991 and continued to farm till just 10 years ago. &nbsp;Myron loved to drive around and look at the crops and livestock. &nbsp;That gave him a lot of joy over the years. &nbsp; After retirement he drove a truck for Overton Sand and Gravel and even helped his son Kent with their trucking business. &nbsp;

In 1970, Myron met Beverly Petrick Allen and they were joined in marriage on August 29, 1970. &nbsp;Through this marriage, Myron gained two sons, Scott (3 years old) and Todd (18 months old). &nbsp;He adopted these little boys and always treated them like they were his very own. &nbsp;Myron and Beverly had another son, Kent, in December of 1972. &nbsp;They continued to raise their family around agriculture, living west of Merna from 1972 until 2000. &nbsp;Moving to the new farm home east of Gates in 2000, this remained their forever home. &nbsp;

Myron was blessed with five grandsons and two granddaughters. &nbsp;He was always delighted when they stopped by to visit and enjoyed holiday gatherings with all present. &nbsp;He particularly enjoyed their sporting events and tried to attend most of them. &nbsp;

Myron and Bev enjoyed traveling. &nbsp;Whether this was family ski trips to Colorado to visit cousins, or Amtrack train rides to Michigan to see other cousins. &nbsp;A trip that none of the family will forget was when Myron and Bev took the whole family to Phoenix, AZ in 1995 to watch the Huskers stomp the Gators. &nbsp;Myron and Bev had season tickets to the Huskers for 45 years. &nbsp;Myron loved his Huskers but wasn’t afraid to cuss them out when deemed necessary. &nbsp;They also enjoyed trips to time shares in Palm Desert, CA, and Hawaii. &nbsp;This allowed them to get together with family members and “just have a good time telling stories and reminiscing with family and friends”!

Myron always enjoyed the Nebraska One Box Pheasant Hunt. &nbsp;Myron and Bev have helped host many teams over the years. &nbsp;He gained many dear friends through this event. &nbsp;Being a Past Shooter Guide for the hunt, he was able to refresh those friendships every year. &nbsp;

Being around people and having fun was always a priority for Myron. Whether you wanted to talk agriculture, Husker Football, grandkids … he was ready to stop and talk. Myron relished friends, both old and new.

Myron is survived by his wife Beverly of Gates: sons Scott (Elizabeth) Reynolds of Ansley, Todd (Lori) Reynolds of Broken Bow, and Kent Reynolds of Broken Bow, grandsons are Austin Reynolds, (fiancé Ellie) of Broken Bow, Dylan Reynolds (fiancé Gabi) of Fayetteville, AR, Grant Reynolds of Hays, KS, Cash Reynolds of Norfolk, and Nathan Reynolds of Broken Bow, granddaughters are Brittany Reynolds (Kylen Thompson) of Anselmo and Lauren Reynolds (Cole Ulmer) of Broken Bow. Also surviving is sister Karen (Jerry) Safranek of Merna, other family includes cousins, nieces, and nephews and he will be missed by a host of friends.

Myron was preceded in death by his parents, grandparents, and many friends!

Larry Malcom, 83, of Cozad, Nebraska, died October 5, 2023 at Hilltop Estates in Gothenburg, NE with family by his side. &nbsp;

He was born on February 13th, 1940, in Custer County north of Cozad, NE, to Arven Sr. and Alice (Melstrom) Malcom. &nbsp;After graduating from Cozad High School, Larry worked for a plumbing company in Cozad and served in the U.S. Army Reserve. &nbsp;On November 27th, 1965, he was united in marriage to Carolyn Yvonne Thomalla in Gothenburg, NE. &nbsp;Larry and Carolyn established Malcom Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning, and he was self-employed as owner for decades until his retirement in the early 2000s.

Larry was a loving son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, uncle, cousin, and friend. &nbsp;He was a hardworking and generous man with a great sense of humor. &nbsp;Although he was a man of few words, words spoken were ones that were important. &nbsp;He had a gentle, quiet spirit and a contagious laugh. &nbsp;Those who spent time with Larry enjoyed his jokes along with his frequent humming, and occasional singing of country music tunes.

Larry enjoyed reading, music, card club, spending time with family, visiting Fonner Park, having coffee with friends and helping family with home renovations. He was a member of Christ the King Catholic Church in Cozad. Larry's children have fond memories of time spent with him going sledding in the hills north of Cozad, &nbsp;pheasant hunting, boating and skiing, going to rodeos, bike riding, going for walks, &nbsp;attending family gatherings, playing board games, enjoying checkers and ping pong matches, having lots of family pets, and going on family vacations to Colorado, South Dakota, and Kansas. He was a wonderful dad and family-oriented man.

Larry is survived by his children Billie Jo (Steven) Schrad and their children Sydney and Mallory Schrad of Omaha; Angela (Kurt) Fessler and their children Logan and Matthew Fessler of Lincoln; Tony (Norma) Malcom and their children Natalie and Westyn Malcom of Cozad; Jerry (Katie) Malcom and their children Carter, of Avondale, AZ, and Brooklyn (Logan) Stewart of Cedar Bluffs; one great-grandson (Callan) of Cedar Bluffs; sisters Rachel Loyd of Lincoln; LaDonna Williams of Wichita, KS; Joanne Peden of Cozad; brothers Arven Malcom Jr., of Cozad and Dennis (Sheila) Malcom of Callaway; sister-in-law Deb Malcom of Callaway, along with many extended family and friends.

Larry was preceded in death by his wife, Carolyn, &nbsp;his parents, Arven Sr. and Alice Malcom, and his brother Dave Malcom.

Larry Malcom (1940-2023)

Kathleen Ann Sullivan (Kathy) passed away at Regional West Medical Center in Scottsbluff, NE, on Friday, September 29, 2023, after a short illness.

She was born December 13, 1959, in Grant to William and Mary Alyce Sullivan of Wallace, NE.

Throughout her life, Kathy enjoyed listening to music, eating different foods, and touching and feeling different textures. Even though Kathy was non-verbal, she didn't hesitate to let you know how she was feeling, whether she was happy or disliked something.

Because of Kathy's disability of being profoundly physically and mentally handicapped, her siblings' lives were shaped as they were growing up. She was the middle of five children, and she taught them patience, compassion for others, humility, and never taking anything for granted.

They are so happy to have a saint praying for them in heaven.
