Kenard died Wednesday, October 24, 2012, at Avera Sacred Heart Hospital in Yankton, S.D. Kenard grew up on the family farm in the Riverview community, between Niobrara and Verdel, NE. attending rural school District 87 (May School) near the family home, and later graduated from Niobrara (NE.) High School in 1964. Following graduation, Kenard enlisted in the Nebraska National Guard, serving for six years until his Honorable Discharge in 1970. During this time, he also farmed with his father, uncle Otto Kreycik, and brother, Rollo Kreycik in the Riverview Community. On September 6, 1968, Kenard was married to Christine "Chris" Sholes at the First Presbyterian Church in O'Neill, NE. The couple was blessed with two children; son Steven Neils Kreycik on May 15, 1971, and a daughter, Stacy Marie Kreycik on April 2, 1976. Kenard and Chris lived on the Kreycik Riverview Farm, a stately, picturesque farmstead along the Niobrara River, where they raised their family. The Kreycik's initially fed cattle, did grain and hay farming, and in the mid 1980's, added elk to their operation, and later added buffalo. This addition of novelty livestock became a major part of the farming operation, and by the mid 1990's, Kenard and Chris began hosting elk hunts, and a year later, offered covered wagon tours of their beautiful farm, giving thousands of people the opportunity to get up close and personal with their elk and buffalo. These popular tours and hunts continue to be a major annual tourist destination in the Niobrara area. Kenard was an outgoing, hard-working, caring person, who always had a friendly smile and loved to visit. Kenard's jovial personality and signature bib overalls were his trademark. During his lifetime, Kenard served his community through various organizations, including the Niobrara School Board, Lower Niobrara NRD Board, Knox County Block Grant Revolving Loan Program, Riverview Cemetery Board, North American Elk Breeding Association, and the Nebraska Elk Club. He was also a member of Faith, Hope, and Love Fellowship Church in Creighton. Kenard loved catfishing in the Niobrara River near his beloved farm, and also went on annual fishing trips to various places around the country, including his final fishing journey this summer with his friend, Willard Ruzicka. No one was ever a stranger around Kenard, and his warm and loving personality will be dearly missed by all that knew and loved him. Kenard is survived by: wife of 44 years, Chris Kreycik of Niobrara, Nebraska; son, Steven (wife Allison) Kreycik of Niobrara; daughter, Stacy (husband Clint) Miller of Verdigre, Nebraska; grandchildren, Jace Miller, Josilyn Miller, Jaeli Miller and Riley Screen; brother, Rollo (wife Lois) Kreycik of Niobrara; sisters-in-law, Connie Wickersham of O'Neill, Nebraska, and Cindy (Bob) Orsborn of Stromsburg, Nebraska; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and countless friends. Kenard was preceded in death by his parents, Frank and Vlasta Kreycik; parents-in-law, Robert and Marcella Sholes; and brother-in-law, Dennis Wickersham. Graveside Services were at the Riverview Cemetery, west of Niobrara, NE.. Military Honors will be conducted by VFW Post #4834 of Niobrara, NE.
