Chance Cole Schultz (1995-2023)

Kenneth Andrew Tidyman, age 69, passed away with family by his side on May 19, 2023 after a fight with cancer. &nbsp;He was born in McCook, NE on October 6, 1953, to Oscar and Helen (Evans) Tidyman. &nbsp;He was the youngest of eight children and was raised in a four-room home in Northeast Hayes County.

Kenneth attended Hayes Center High School, was a Charter Member to start the Hayes Center FFA Chapter program, serving as Reporter and working for his Uncle Lawrence Walker after school. &nbsp;After High School, Kenneth moved to Tryon, NE where he meet Jerri Jean Shimmon. &nbsp;On May 14, 1978, the two were married and on February 17, 1980, Kent Dwayne Tidyman, was born. On April 20, 1982, Jerri, Kent, and Helen were going to town when their pickup was stuck by another vehicle on the Maywood-Hayes Center Road and both Jerri and Helen were killed; Kent was the lone survivor of the accident.

April 27, 1985, Kenneth married Mary Ellen Etl-Bloom in a small family and friend ceremony in Ringgold, NE. &nbsp;Mary had two children from previous marriages – Jennifer Bledsoe and Rob Bloom- whom Kenneth raised as his own. &nbsp;The couple moved the blended family back to the Tidyman ranch in Maywood, NE. &nbsp;On August 19, 1986, a son was born, Kelly Evan Tidyman, making a family of six.

The end of November 1987, Kenneth started working as a Ranch Forman for Kenneth and Virginia Meyer in Wellfleet, NE. &nbsp;Kenneth would remain Foreman until the death of Virginia in February of 2015. &nbsp;The ranch changed hands to Virginia’s daughter and son-in-law, Kelly and Rick Sexton, who he continued working for until he was no longer able in February of 2023.

Kenneth was a character, with a million one-liners; words of cowboy “wisdom”, loved to get a rise out of people and make them chuckle. He truly put family first, always the first to lend a helping hand and would often tell people “If I knew how much fun grandkids were, I would have had them first.” &nbsp;His first of the month phone calls will be truly missed by all with his famous first line “I haven’t heard from you all month!” &nbsp;Kenneth would adamantly dispute his age in this obituary, as he has been “nineteen” since 1972.

Kenneth is preceded in death by his parents Oscar and Helen Tidyman; sister and bother in law Gene (Carol) Tatman; brother in laws Homer Ruppert and Tom Stewart; and sister in laws Marlene Tidyman and Denise Etl.

Those left to celebrate his life include his wife, Mary Tidyman of rural Maywood, NE; children Jennifer (Brad(his favorite son in law)) Friehe of Culbertson, NE; Kent (Nikki) Tidyman of Edison, NE; Rob (Kristen) Bloom of Black River, NY; Kelly (Taylor) Tidyman of Valentine, NE. Grandfather to twelve, Alexis (Tyler) Ebersol, Chessney (Marcas) Eckhardt; Chyanne Friehe; Abbigail Bloom; Chayse Friehe; Kaydence and Blake Cox; Ryleigh Tidyman; Cooper Tidyman; James Bloom; Levi Tidyman; Kynnleigh Tidyman and Kolt Tidyman and one great grandchild, Jackson Ebersol. Sister Naomi Ruppert; Donna (Don) Behnke; Bethal Stewart; Holly (Alvin) Gwin. Brothers William Tidyman and Dean (Lori) Tidyman. &nbsp;In laws Mike (Paula) Etl, Jane (Tom) Ware; John Etl and Tom Etl. As well as numerous nephews, nieces, extended family members and friends. &nbsp;

Online condolences and live stream of the service will be at www.adamsswanson.com.

Graveside services will be 10:30 a.m. Wednesday May 31, 2023 at Maywood Cemetery with Pastor John Sexson officiating. &nbsp;Register book signing will be 12-5 Tuesday, May 30, 2023 at Adams &amp; Swanson Funeral Home.

Candelaria Hernandez of Cozad passed away Tuesday, May 16, 2023 at Kearney Regional Hospital at the age of 77.&nbsp;She was born on February 2, 1946 in Zacatecas, Mexico to Juana Rodriguez de Hernandez and Domingo Hernandez.

During her time in Mexico, she would enter the United States for work. On one beautiful day she met her beloved husband Marcos Hernandez at the park. They were married on October 21, 1968, in El Paso, Texas.&nbsp;&nbsp;Five children were blessed to this union: Lusia, Jesse, Ramon, Marcos, and David. The family then moved to Cozad, Nebraska.

Like many women of her generation, she was a homemaker and mother.&nbsp;Candy was a fiercely independent, strong-willed woman who raised her children to value hard work, family, and fresh tortillas. Her homemade tortillas were second to none.&nbsp;No matter if you were family or a friend visiting her home, you were always invited to eat and she never took “NO” for an answer. Candy devoted her time, energy and cooking for those she loved. There wasn’t anything she would not do to support those around her.

Candelaria is survived by all her children, Lusia (Marty) Munster of Cozad, NE, Jesse (Yesenia) Hernandez of Omaha, NE, Ramon Hernandez of Cozad, NE, Marcos Hernandez of Cozad, NE, and David (Andrea) Hernandez of Cozad, NE. She is also survived by many grandchildren and great grandchildren.

We truly mourn the loss of such a beautiful and special lady. We are grateful for the time we had with her and for all the ways she blessed our lives. She will be greatly missed.

Mass of the Christian Burial will be held Wednesday, May 24, 2023 at 10:30 a.m. at Christ the King Catholic Church with Rev. Joseph Kadaprayil as celebrant. Burial will follow at St. Ann's Catholic Cemetery near Lexington. Visitation with family present will be Tuesday, May 23, 2023 from 5 to 7 p.m. at Berryman Funeral Home. Rosary will be recited at 7 p.m.

Daniel "Danny" Dean James (1970-2023)

Dale A. Seng, 76, of Callaway, Nebraska passed away on Sunday, April 30, 2023, surrounded by his loving family after a long battle with COPD due to a lifetime of smoking, which he wished he never got started.

He was born on April 28, 1947, in Omak, Washington, to Herman and Doris (Gehrke) Seng. Throughout his life, Dale lived in Washington State, Montana, Wyoming, Calgary, Canada and Idaho before finally settling in Callaway, Nebraska to be closer to family. He worked in various locations such as sawmills, timber, lumber mills, Hyster, Boeing and subsidiaries. His specialty was being a diesel heavy equipment operator and automotive mechanic. On August 21, 1965, Dale married the love of his life, Dora Burrows.

Dale was incredibly independent and a very busy man. He loved to invent and tinker with things that were technical or mechanical while listening to 50s and 60s Rock and Roll along with his favorite radio DJ; Wolf Man Jack. He was always looking to improve any tool or process to make it work more efficiently. He believed that better quality tools created better quality work. Dale was known to be a Gadget Guy. He had a gadget for everything. He also had quite a knack for woodworking. He created extremely detailed birdhouses, spice racks, toy accessories and many other items. He always excelled with his inventions and crafts because he was an ambitious and excessively detail oriented person.

When Dale wasn't creating, or fixing different things, he was indoors watching his favorite tv shows. He loved Gunsmoke, Smokey and the Bandit, Airwolf, How it's Made and animated Pink Panther. He enjoyed having a Pepsi and some double stuffed Oreos. You could also find him having an ice-cold beer and listening to the sound of quiet nature. He was a dedicated hopeful hunter and fisherman. He had a love for old cars, motorcycles and heavy equipment. One of Dale's dreams was one day having a helicopter business and giving tours to the locals.

Those left to honor his memory are his loving wife, Dora Seng of Callaway; children, Stacey (Laura) Seng and Shelley (Marcus) Pandorf, both of Callaway, Nebraska; brother Dane (Dorothy) of Prineville, Oregon, sister Beth (Wayne) Rogers of Tarkio, Missouri; his grandkids who always called him “Papa”; Shawnee (Casey) Durner, Nic (Crystal) Seng, Dakota, Kira, Jessie and Tesa; great-grandkids, Vega, Saige, Piper, Sawyer, and twin boys he just missed meeting, William Vaughn and Bennett Hudson, as well as nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.

The family is honoring Dale's wish for cremation.

There are no services planned at this time. (But if you would like to donate to a fund for the trees being planted for Dale this fall it would be most welcomed.)

Timm-Reynolds-Love Funeral Home in Callaway is honored to be assisting the family. Please share online condolences with the family by visiting: reynoldslovefuneralhome.com

&nbsp; &nbsp; The family moved to Chadron, NE, where Linda graduated from high school in 1969.&nbsp; After graduation, the family moved back to McCook. Linda then attended McCook Beauty Academy and worked as a beautician. She decided to pursue further education and attended McCook Community College, receiving an associate degree in criminal justice in 1976. During college she worked as a housekeeper, cook, and phone operator. She continued her education at Kearney State College and received her bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and psychology in 1978.
