Sharp, 82, of Valentine, passed away May 25, 2011, at Cherry Hills Estates, surrounded by his family. Kenneth Douglas Sharp was born in Valentine on Jan. 12, 1929, to Rex W. Sharp Sr. and Martha Haley Sharp. He was the fifth child born to a family of 10. Kenneth had spent his childhood in the Norden, Sparks, Valentine, Millboro and Beaver Creek area. He went to work on the family farm and spent most of his life raising a family there. Kenneth married Ines Soles Sharp on May 10, 1947. To this union were born five children, Rosella, Kenny, Jerry, Lila and Sherry. They purchased the family farm in June 1968. Ines and Kenneth raised hogs and cattle working side by side and were married for 63 years. Ines suffered a stroke in 1996 and they purchased a home in Valentine in 1997. Kenneth was her main caregiver for 14 years before she passed away on June 28, 2010. As a young man Kenneth enjoyed playing baseball as part of the Haley grandson team. He loved playing cards, horseshoes and went fishing and hunting as time would allow. He spent many memorable evenings "setting lines" while fishing for catfish on the Niobrara River. Kenneth was able to be an electrician, plumber, construction worker and tractor mechanic and much more while he worked to make improvements on the family farm. He never got tired of finding out how everything was going on the ranch, long after he moved to town. He also enjoyed making music and was a self-taught guitar player as well as several other instruments. He bought a set of drums and an electric piano and formed his own family band to make music for others to enjoy. They played for dances for several years and it brought him and Ines lots of good memories. One of his biggest joys was being with his grandkids and great grandkids. He loved them all and thoroughly enjoyed hearing about what they had been up to or playing a game of pitch with them when he got the chance. Survivors include his children and their spouses, Rosella (Burnell) Nieuwenhuis, of Valentine, Kenny (Shelly) Sharp, of Millboro, Jerry (Jeannette) Sharp, of Valentine, Lila (Tim) O'Keefe, of Valentine, and Sherry (Stan) Weatherly, of North Platte; 14 grandchildren: 18 great-grandchildren; two sisters, Gladys Haas, of Valentine, Martha Wergin, of Oklahoma; three brothers, Wayne Sharp, of Sparks, Ron Sharp, of Kansas, and Bob Sharp, of Colorado. He was preceded in death by his wife, Ines; parents, Rex and Martha Sharp; one sister, Lola Kaplan; and three brothers, Lyle, Jake and Rex. Services were on May 30 at the United Methodist Church in Valentine with Pastor Tom Lucas officiating. Burial will be today at Mount Hope Cemetery at Valentine with Pastor David Householter officiating. Sandoz Chapel of the Pines, Valentine, is in charge of arrangements.
