Thomas Odin Brenden

Thomas Odin Brenden passed away Saturday July 26th after a short illness.   That is the only information I have at this moment.   I will provide an update when more information becomes available, including the Visitation and Funeral.

Odin, as he was known to his friends, was a long time regular with the Centurions, in recent years he mostly played in our Seven Years' War and American Civil War games.  Gaming was one of Odin's happy places.  It didn't matter the game he was happy to play.     Many of us remember playing Rally Round the Flag with Odin in the 1990's, well before the Centurions.

Odin worked Minneapolis Public Schools in the transportation department.  He spent years driving school bus and the occasional party bus on the side, in recent years he was responsible for scheduling and working in the office.

He will be missed. 
 

"Lo, there do I see my father.
Lo, there do I see my mother. 
     and my sisters and my brothers.
Lo, there I see the line of my people
     back to the beginning of time.
Lo, they do call to me
     They bid me to take my place among them
     in the halls of Valhalla.
     Where the Brave my live Forever."
Traditional Viking Funeral Prayer
