Odin Atticus Kimball was born on January 25, 2012 in New Ulm to Tommie & Denisse (Alonzo) Kimball. Odin was their second son, but he was the first brother. Odin loved being held as a small boy. Once he could walk though he would run up to everyone and give them hugs and kisses. Odin and Tommie at this time could always be found together playing or fighting over toys. Odin and his family moved to Hutchinson, MN in 2015. His family joined a church there and Odin became active in the children actives singing and reciting verses, he especially enjoyed doing this with his brother Tommie. During this time his brother Wolfgang was born, Odin loved so much being a big brother. Odin and his brothers would build with LEGOs, play with super hero toys and even dress up as super heroes themselves. When his family moved back to New Ulm in 2018, Odin began to like video games and the sports his big brother did. Odin would play any video game his brothers wanted to, especially if Wolfgang asked him. When his brother Maurice was born, Odin became a big help for his parents because he had so much brotherly love to give. Odin showed this love to his family, friends, teammates, and classmates. The past few years Odin had begun to express himself in painting and coloring with his family, singing in choir at school, playing flag football with his brothers, and 5th & 6th grade football this past fall. Odin loved being around everyone, he always had a hug for all of us.
