Roger Lee Floyd, 81, longtime Sedan resident and business owner passed away on Saturday, August 8, 2026, at his home on Hulah Lake in Osage County Oklahoma.

He was born on September 15, 1944, to Darrel D. and Anna D. (Casement) Floyd. Roger grew up and attended Sedan Schools, graduating in 1961. He continued his education at Ottawa University before being drafted into the United States Army in 1966. Roger proudly served his country in the United States Army during the Vietnam War for 18 months as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Specialist, attaining the rank of Specialist Five (SP5). His military honors included the Bronze Star Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Service Medal, and Vietnam Campaign Medal. After returning home, Roger attended Wichita State University, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in business.

Roger worked at Safeway in Wichita becoming an Assistant Manager and later a store manager, while in Wichita he met the love of his life Jetta Savoy and they were married on December 10, 1971, and they shared four children. Roger and Jetta were approaching 55 years of marriage. They moved to Sedan, Kansas, when he bought his father’s share of the family store. He operated it until it was sold in February 2024.

Roger was a generous man, although he rarely sought recognition for the things he did for others. His generosity was often quiet and behind the scenes. He was always willing to help someone who needed it, whether through his time, his resources, or simply by showing up when it mattered. Many of his acts of kindness were known only to the people he helped. That quiet generosity was simply part of who Roger was, but those who knew Roger knew he could also be somewhat stubborn and very strong willed.

Roger loved traveling, boating, waterskiing, and being at the lake, but flying held a special place in his heart. He was an accomplished private pilot with more than 6,000 hours of flight time, Roger loved being at the controls of his planes and in the sky. Roger always said if he could be an animal, he’d be “a fish or a bird” — a fish so he could always be in the water and a bird so he could always be in the sky.

Roger was deeply involved in his community throughout his life. An Eagle Scout himself, he later served as a Boy Scout leader for at least five years. He also served on the local Fair Board, the Emmett Kelly Museum Board, and the Hospital Board. Roger believed in giving back to the community he called home, often contributing his time and resources without seeking recognition. He also helped provide opportunities for children in Sedan to experience live stage productions, one of the many ways his generosity quietly touched the lives of others.

Roger is survived by his wife Jetta of the home; his children Jay Floyd, Michelle Floyd and Austin Floyd; seven grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents Darrel and Anna Floyd; one son William Floyd; one grandson Aiden James Floyd and one great-grandson Elliott Floyd.

A funeral service celebrating Roger's life will be at 11:00 a.m., Saturday, August 15, 2026, at the Sedan High School Gymnasium with Pastor Mark Davis officiating. Burial will follow in Greenwood Cemetery in Sedan with military honors conducted by the U.S. Army Honor Guard Fort Riley, Kansas.

The family suggests memorials in Roger's memory to Tunnels to Towers; contributions may be left with or mailed in care of David W. Barnes Funeral Home, 306 North Cline Road, Coffeyville, KS 67337.

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, 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.

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.

Jerry Eugene Withers, age 94, passed away in Coffeyville, Kansas, on July 27, 2026, just four days before his 95th birthday.

Jerry was born in Coffeyville on July 31, 1931, to Louis and Helen Katherine (Wilson) Withers. He grew up in Coffeyville and graduated from Field Kindley Memorial High School in 1948. He also attended Coffeyville Community Junior College on the GI Bill, completing his associate degree and machinist certificate.

After Jerry returned home from the Korean War, jobs were scarce, so he reenlisted for two more years in the U.S. Marines and was stationed at Camp Pendleton in California. While there, he met and fell in love with Janice Thorley, and the two eloped in Las Vegas, Nevada, on February 7, 1954, keeping their union a secret from her parents until he returned from an assignment. After his honorable discharge, they moved back to Coffeyville, making it their forever home, where they raised their children and faithfully attended Holy Name Church. Janice preceded him in death on April 15, 2007.

Jerry was a member of the Knights of Columbus and the IAM Union.

Jerry was a hard worker. He began working in the Wheat Harvest Belt at the age of 14, traveling throughout Kansas, then Oklahoma, and on to Colorado, hitchhiking back to Coffeyville just before school started. He continued to pick up odd jobs throughout school. That work ethic continued through his working days at Jensen’s, Armstrong Ice Cream, and Wheatley Valve, where he worked until its closure. Parmac was his last place of formal employment, where he remained until his retirement. While working full time, he also owned and operated Jerry’s Dairy.

In his spare time, Jerry enjoyed breaking and training horses and doing leatherwork, his specialty was making saddles and special gifts for his family, including purses, wallets, and guitar straps. He was an accomplished gardener with a small orchard and grape vineyard. He loved his family, and they cherish many fond memories of him dancing with their mother and playing Saturday evening card games that all the children learned to enjoy. They also remember that Dad could fix anything with baling wire.

After being a bachelor for eleven years, Jerry found love again, and in 2018 he married Leahnora “Leah” Stiffler. He sold the farm and moved to Burlington, Kansas, until he needed a little extra care and moved in with his daughter.

Jerry is survived by his wife, Leah Withers of the home; his son, Raymond Withers and wife Pam; three daughters, Helen Rigdon, Jessica Trotter and husband Randy, and Rosemary Sortore; nine grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild. He was preceded in death by his wife, Janice; infant daughter, Terri Lynn; two grandchildren Holly and Sally Withers; one great-grandchild Reid Banzet; and sister, Mary Ann Bally.

The family will receive friends on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. until 10:30 a.m. at Ford-Wulf-Bruns Chapel, 2405 Woodland Ave., Coffeyville.
