Brad 'Ode' Odekirk, 49

Brad “Ode” Odekirk, 49, of Hope, Idaho, was born Aug. 7, 1958, in Sandpoint, Idaho, and in Ode’s own words, “kicked the bucket” on April 28, 2008.

He was best known for his mechanic skills and for his ability to fix anything electrical.

He is survived by his sister, Shelley Ford; and his nephew, Jamie Ford.

He was preceded in death by his father and mother Earl and Edna Odekirk, and the gang, Jerry, Lonnie, Marty and Doobie.

“I see leaves of green, red roses, too

“I watch them bloom, for me and you

“And I say to myself, what a wonderful world.”

At Ode’s request no services are planned.

Funeral arrangements are entrusted to the care of Coffelt Funeral Service of Sandpoint.
