He was born October 18, 1935 in Perry, Oklahoma to the late Brent and Olive (Miller) Oden. He grew up in the town of Perry riding his horse, Dr. Pepper, most everywhere he went.

Corky was also credited with working many rodeos across the United States as a trick rider and trick roper with his trusty and loyal horse, Rascal. Corky and Cathy made their home in Perry and owned and operated the “F.C.” Oden Painting & Sandblasting, Inc.” business. Corky enjoyed spending time outside working, but most of all he enjoyed his time with his family whom he loved dearly. He was a man of great faith spending much of his alone time in conversation with God. Corky was an amazing man, greatly admired and loved, and he will be dearly missed by all those who knew him.
