Robert Ocken Obituary

We are sad to announce that on December 9, 2024 we had to say goodbye to Robert Ocken in York, Nebraska, born in Staplehurst, Nebraska. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Robert Ocken to show support.

As we bid farewell to this cherished soul, solace is taken in the memories held dear — the laughter shared, the wisdom imparted, the moments of quiet reflection in their presence. Though Robert may no longer walk among us, his spirit lives on in the echoes of his kindness, the warmth of his embrace, and the light of his enduring love.

He was predeceased by: his parents, William H. Ocken and Elsa Ocken (Scheumann); his former wife Merna Neujahr; and his brothers, Lorenz (Virginia Ocken) and Dale (Esther Ocken).

He is survived by: his wife Donna Ocken of York. He is also survived by three step children, numerous nieces and nephews, many great nieces and nephews; great-great nieces and nephews; and a host of other relatives and friends.
