Vic McLeran

 

Vic McLeran, 85 years of age, of South Coffeyville, Oklahoma, passed away on July 15, 2026. He was born on August 2, 1940, to Ruth and Donald McLeran.

 

Throughout his life, Vic was a passionate outdoorsman, a talented falconer and an exceptional fisherman.

 

Vic grew up in Coffeyville, where he began his lifelong love of the waters and the woods of southeastern Kansas. He served in the U.S. Marine Corps, after which he returned to Kansas to study at Coffeyville Junior College (now Coffeyville Community College). Vic later transferred to and graduated from Pittsburg State University.

 

Vic was drawn to journalism. He focused on sports and outdoor writing and contributed to various publications. He worked many years for the Kansas Forestry, Fish and Game Commission (now the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks) as a writer, photographer and editor of their magazine.

 

Vic also loved to cook, specifically smoked meat. This passion for feeding friends and family led Vic to open several barbeque restaurants in Kansas, specializing in falling-off-the bone tender ribs.

 

Vic later worked at Phillips Petroleum (now ConocoPhillips) writing in the public affairs and marketing divisions. Vic had the opportunity to retire early, which allowed him more time for writing, reading, and fishing. He ultimately moved back to the Coffeyville area where he haunted the waters of Kansas and Oklahoma in search of big bass.

 

Though he came to faith later in life, Vic pursued a genuine understanding of Christianity and deepened his relationship with God year after year. He made peace with his past and spoke of looking forward to the next adventure in his life, an eternal home in heaven.

 

Vic had one child, his daughter, Kristen. They shared a close and loving relationship that lasted a lifetime.

 

Vic was preceded in death by his brother Doug (1938-1939), and his parents. He is survived by his sister, Dana Copeland, of Pineville, Missouri; his daughter, Kristen McLeran, his grandchildren Isobel McLeran Sturges and Oliver McLeran Sturges, of Walnut Creek, California.

 

A memorial service will be held at Grace Fellowship Church, 2455 Woodland Avenue, Coffeyville, Kansas, Saturday, August 8, 2026, at 5:00 PM.

 

In lieu of flowers, the family invites you to honor Vic’s memory with a donation to a favorite environmental or conservation charity.

 

Vic found a great deal of joy outdoors. You are invited to walk along or fish in waters in your community: a nearby creek or a pond at the city park. You might keep your eyes peeled for red-tailed hawks perched high on a telephone pole in memory of Vic and his love of the natural world.

 

He has cast his final line into waters made still by the peace of the Lord.

Jerry "Bud" Lee Rider

 

Jerry “Bud” Lee Rider, formerly of Coffeyville, Kansas, passed away peacefully in his sleep at the age of 83 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, at Stonehaven Assisted Living and Memory Care, where he had resided for the last couple of years.

 

Jerry was born to Tyner Lee and Geraldine Leuretta (McMullin) Rider in Mayes County, Oklahoma, at the family home in the rural Chelsea area. Jerry attended school in Chelsea and graduated from Chelsea High School. 

 

Jerry met Cheryl Gale Garman through a mutual friend. After a brief courtship, they were married on August 1, 1964, in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. They made their home in Bartlesville for two years before relocating to Coffeyville, which made Jerry’s commute to work shorter. For 60 years, Coffeyville was home. Jerry and Cheryl shared many fond memories together, including raising their children, David and Melinda, and had just celebrated 58 years of marriage at the time of Cheryl’s passing on February 25, 2023.

 

Jerry was a hard worker and began his adult working career with Olin Dixon Industries. He later became an operator at COOP Refinery and retired in 2010 under the management of Farmland Industries, now known as CVR Energy. Jerry worked in the Crude Unit, as well with the Fire Brigade.  His family referred to his coworkers as the Crude Crew as his second family. Many lifelong friendships were cultivated during his time there. 

 

He was also a self-taught engineer in many different fields; he could design, build, and fix just about anything. He was very knowledgeable about auto A/C repair, which became a side job for him and later led to home A/C repair as well. He put all his design, mechanical, and construction skills to use helping his family, friends, and neighbors. He was always kind, willing to lend a helping hand, and would be the first to say, “I can help you with that.” His kind nature was comforting to all, including strangers who became acquaintances by the time he wished them farewell. 

 

In his spare time, Jerry enjoyed fishing and hunting, often taking his son, David, and daughter, Melinda “Mendy,” alongside him, making each trip even better. All who knew him knew that his family was the most important thing to him, and he always put their needs before his own. His love for his wife and children was unconditional and genuine.

When Jerry could no longer live alone at home, he moved to Tulsa to Stonehaven Assisted Living to be closer to his children. An added blessing was that he was at the same living center as his only brother, Dale, and the time they spent together was something they both enjoyed.

 

Jerry is survived by his son David Rider; daughter Mendy and Jason Coffey; grandchildren, Jonathan and Tina Coffey, Joey Coffey, and Madison Coffey; brother Dale Rider; brother and sister-in- laws, Alan and Nadine Solenberger, Norman and Carolyn Garman, Lonnie Garman and Connie Chapman.  He was preceded in death by his parents, wife Cheryl and sister-in-law who was also Jerry’s classmate Shirley Rider. 

 

Memorial services celebrating Jerry’s life will be held on Friday, August 14, 2026, at 2pm at Ford-Wulf-Bruns Chapel, 2405 Woodland Ave., Coffeyville, Kansas.  Visitation will be held on Thursday, August 13, 2026, also at the chapel from 5-7pm.  In assisting the family with sever allergies please cards only or do a kind act of service in Jerry’s memory. Services will be streamed live under his obituary page.  To leave an online message of condolence or to share a memory, visit Jerry’s obituary page at www.fordwulfbrunschapel.com.

 

Anthony Wayne Tolson Jr

 

Anthony Wayne Tolson Jr. age 44, of Coffeyville, Kansas passed away unexpectedly at home on Wednesday, July 29, 2026.

 

Anthony, affectionately known as Bubby, was a man of many admirable qualities. Born on September 16, 1981, in Pikeville, KY, Anthony was a beacon of generosity, loyalty, thoughtfulness, and love. His life was a testament to these values, and his actions spoke volumes about the kind of man he was. Anthony's heart was a wellspring of kindness and compassion, always ready to give and help those in need. His loyalty was unwavering, a trait that earned him the respect and admiration of all who knew him.

 

In his earthly journey, Anthony found joy in simplicity. He relished the thrill of hunting, the serenity of fishing, and the satisfaction of working on trucks.  In recent years he was a skilled mechanic, taking pride in restoration and achieving the goals he set for himself.  In his younger years, as a semi-truck driver, he traversed many paths, from the lush landscapes of Kentucky to the sunny shores of Florida, and the bustling city life of Georgia. But it was in Coffeyville, Kansas, where Anthony found his home. He was an active member of the First Baptist Church Coffeyville, where he generously offered his time volunteering during Wednesday Night Alive. His faith was steadfast, reflecting the verse from Proverbs 28:20 "A faithful man will abound with blessings."

 

Anthony married his beloved wife, Holly, on July 27, 2019, and their union was blessed with one beautiful daughter, Remington. He was also blessed with a beautiful daughter, Sandi, from a previous marriage. His love for his family was fierce and unwavering, a testament to his loving nature. He is survived by his wife Holly, daughters Sandi and Remington, his mother Jamie Burnett (Jim), his father Anthony Sr., and sisters Sophia Tolson, Sarah Rostad (Donald), Evangelia Clark, and December Morris. He also leaves behind a host of cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and many friends who will miss him dearly.
