About Gene Odom
Gene Odom was Ronnie Van Zant’s personal bodyguard, security for the Lynyrd Skynyrd band. They were friends since they were kids fishing together. Gene is a survivor of the plane crash that took the life of his best friend along with Steve Gaines, Cassie Gaines and Dean Kilpatrick. Gene is now disabled as a result of the plane crash. As a way to remember Ronnie Van Zant, he has written a book about some of the times he spent with Ronnie. The book is titled Lynyrd Skynyrd I’ll Never Forget You, and it follows the two boys growing up together. It’s really a story about two lives and two friends. Gene wants to share some of these joyous memories with all of the Lynyrd Skynyrd fans. This internet site was created to bring this book to the public. And now, Gene has written another book titled Lynyrd Skynyrd, Remembering the Free Birds of Southern Rock to bring you even closer to the Free Birds.
