Ken Zeeb
Ken Zeeb of Menno, S.D., passed
away unexpectedly early Tuesday,
Dec. 23, 2014, at his residence, in his
sleep.
Memorial services were held Tues-day,
Dec. 30, at 2 p.m., at the Opsahl-
Kostel Funeral Chapel, Yankton, S.D.,
with Rev. David Ellis officiating. Buri-al
of his cremated remains were in the
Garden of Memories, Yankton.
Kenneth (Ken) Peter Zeeb was born
Jan. 31, 1943, to Gideon "Pete" Zeeb
and Delphine Edelman in Bakers-field,
Calif. At a young age the family
moved back to South Dakota to a farm
near Scotland, S.D., where he attended
Scotland Public School and graduated
in 1961. Ken then attended Yankton
College, ending his college days one
semester short of a business degree.
Ken managed Fort Yankton at Lewis
and Clark in 1967 and 1968.
K>n married Patricia Rlair-on Aoril
26, 1968. They moved to Menno in
1971 and opened Zeeb Insurance. Ken
and Patricia had four children: Laura,
Brian, Brad and Jill.
Ken was a gentle and caring man,
full of wit and humor. Ken loved to
spend time with friends and fam-ily,
opening his home to anyone who
wanted to visit. He was proud of his
cabin and more proud of his children
and grandchildren. His children are
thankful for sharing his life and for
the many memories created for his
grandchildren from all the 4th of Ju-lys,
to watching old westerns, wearing
around his bear claw slippers, playing
with his penny collection and penny
eating horse, trying to make music
with his painted piano and playing
restaurant on the back porch bar of
his cabin. We will never forget his
"big round belly that shook when he
laughed like a bowl full of jelly" as he
puts on Elvis's record, "Blue Suede
Shoes."
Ken instilled in his family how to
treat people fair, to find humor and joy
in simple things, and most importantly
that Jesus Christ died for us and that
someday those who believe in him will
be in his kingdom forever.
Ken is survived by his four chil-dren:
Laura Wendland (Randy), Spear-fish,
S.D., Brian Zeeb (Shannon),
Pierre, S.D., Brad Zeeb, Spearfish,
and Jill Tobin (Eric), Rapid City, S.D.;
10 grandchildren: Zackary Wendland,
Marie Wendland, Stevi Wendland,
Deni Zeeb, Gracie Zeeb, Broch Zeeb,
Bryant Zeeb, Shawnie Zeeb, Ava To-bin
and Hudson Tobin; and two great-grandchildren:
Fox Newman and Mat-tisyn
Newman.
Ken was preceded in death by his
parents; brother John; and sister-in-law
