We crossed paths about 8 years ago.  You made a lasting impression on me and I'm terribly saddened by your departure.  You offered insight and experience in life that I had not yet reached.  You were patient, kind and searching for something.  I'm not certain you knew what that something was, but I sure hope you found it and are resting peacefully. You're in my diurnal thoughts Odell.

Sitting here drinking my morning coffee and you came across my mind as you do often.  Knowing you since you were a little boy... “Karl’s little brother”, I just never thought I would outlive you.  As an adult and a professional, I respected you and looked up to you.  I miss you Odell. RIP brother.

Thinking and praying for you everyday my dearest brother Odell.  Thankful for all the memories you brought us.  My kids have soo many wonderful memories. You were a Uncle and will live on forever in our lives. Until we meet again.
