Kenneth "Kenny" Wayne Oliver

Born in Lincoln, Nebraska, Kenny lived a life defined by compassion, service, and devotion to family.

Kenny spent his career as a Registered Nurse, proudly serving his community. Caring for patients in their most urgent moments was not just his job — it was a calling he embraced fully.

Kenny was a devoted husband to his beloved wife, Peggy Oliver. Together they built a family rooted in love and faith. He was a proud and loving father to Rachel Lassel and her husband Jason, and Hanne Beldin and her husband Justin. He treasured his role as “Bapa” to his grandchildren — David, Max, Ila, Hudson, and Claire — who brought him immeasurable joy.

He is survived by his brother, Terry Oliver, and his wife Susie, along with Terry’s three daughters and six grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Elder Earnest W. Oliver and Dorothy J. Oliver.

A longstanding member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, Kenny’s life reflected his deep and steady faith. He will be remembered for his caring heart, his dedication to helping others, and his unwavering love for his family.

He will be deeply missed and forever held in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
