Kimberly Scott Egger of Silver Creek Nebraska born February 21st, 1951, in Columbus Nebraska to Fern (Engel) Egger and Norris (Norrie) Egger. He resided in Columbus Nebraska attending Grade School and Columbus High until 1965. While in High School he organized a band with his friends called the Rustix. His Love for music came from both his mother and father, both were very talented musicians. During High School he chose to move to Omaha with his father and attended Burke High School. After School he took a Job with the Union Pacific Railroad in Omaha for 5 Years. In 1972 He Purchased a Small Farm in Silver Creek Nebraska and took a job with Grosch Irrigation for a short time. He then Purchased Lil Joes Bar in Silver Creek which he owned and operated for 10 years. During that time, he became involved with Thoroughbred Racing. On his farm he boarded and raised his own Racehorses. He found success at every track in the state of Nebraska. His proudest achievements in racing were breeding, training and racing his horses from the ground up.

Because farming and Racing Thoroughbreds was not enough, Kim was an avid "Sports Enthusiast" His passion for Baseball, Basketball, and especially Football was higher than most....so much all of his friends would call him on gameday to predict the outcome of each game, boy did he love sports! In 2008 he downsized the farm and broke away from racing horses and decided to settle down a bit (still loved football games though) He took a part time job with Bo's West opening the place in the early mornings for the "Coffee" club. (wink wink). During that time, he would make sure the coffee was fresh and the Juke Box was finely tuned to his favorite songs. His love for the people around him never went unnoticed, even though he was not extremely outspoken he loved to be around the people that meant most to him. He was a very proud man and especially proud of his children and their accomplishments, and especially of all of his grandchildren.

Kim was survived by his children Scott (Diane) Egger, Flower Mound Texas, Chris Egger, Gretna Nebraska, Jacqueline (Brandon) Clark Augusta Georgia.
