Memorial Services will be held at 10:00am, Friday, January 29, 2021, at the Bridge Church of Pearl, Mississippi.
Dave was the most bulletproof man you would ever come to know. If you knew him, then you know; he worked hard and never showed an inch of being tired. He was a man that once didn’t know Jesus and then became His best friend. I write this only ever knowing him as a Godly man. His love for Jesus was evident even when he wasn’t at his best. His passion for music was what made him who he was. He played bass guitar and adored his grandchildren. Dave was the best grandparent a child could ask for. He graduated from Jim Hill high school. Raised in south Jackson. He served in the U.S. Navy and loved his country.
He is survived by his wife Lesley Oden and children Wesley Oden, Tina Oden, Adam Oden, Rachel (Oden) Walker and Keith Oden. His is also survived by his step children, Matthew Cothern, Kimberly Cothern, Laura Cothern and Zachary Cothern; sister, Ginny Oden Whitby; brother, Stan Oden; and numerous grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.
Dave was preceded in death by his parents, Hugh and Velma Oden; and brother, Michael Hugh Oden.
If you would like to donate on his behalf or to his family please send them to Lesley Oden; flowers can be sent to The Bridge Church. Dave also was sending money to St. Judes Children’s Hospital. Food can be brought to the apartment of Lesley Oden.
