He worked for a time at Sioux Manufacturing, Dakota Tribal Industries, CHR program and most recently was a shuttle driver for the Spirit Lake Casino. Zeke was a common man just trying to do what’s best for him and his family. He was going to sweats, ceremonies and sundances. He loved watching the cooking channel and he was always trying to help out in any way he could for his kids and family. He liked to make his chili and win chili cook-offs. He took 1st place at two chili cook-offs in Devils Lake and placed 1st also at the casino cook-offs. He loved to cook for everybody because that’s what he loved to do. No matter what time of day it was, Zeke would always be able to put a smile on your face and a good laugh. There isn’t anyone who doesn’t have a good memory of him. He will always be loved and missed and forever in our hearts. We close with “Do you know who I am?” Zeke’s favorite line. Zeke is survived by his children Schanina Feather, A. J.
