JAMES ALAN McCONKEY

1955 - 2021 James Alan McConkey, an Albany legend and pillar of the community, passed away on February 21, 2021 at the age of 65. While it’s impossible to distill down his very busy 65 years into words, a cursory review will have to suffice.

Not long after his birth on November 1, 1955 in Maryville, Missouri, James moved to Albany and put down his roots. Graduating from Albany High School in 1973, James then obtained his bachelor’s degree in teaching from Northwest Missouri State University in 1977.

He spent his first few years teaching in Martinsville, Missouri.

In 1982, James and his brother, Richard, bought the Gambles Hardware Store on the west side of the square in Albany. There was a rumor that the pop machines in the store sold something other than soda, which unsurprisingly turned the store into a hangout for the locals. One can only guess why the business eventually closed in 1989, but James did end up being the only person from Albany to ever be featured in Time Magazine in the April 20, 1992 edition about the hardware store.

After his stint as an entrepreneur, James went back to teaching and coaching. If there was a sport offered in the Albany school district, “Coach McConkey” was involved with it at some point in time. James coached golf, softball, basketball, track and he would also drive the bus to and from the events. But he wasn’t just athletic, James was the total package: “Mr. McConkey” was the elementary school librarian and also the P.E. teacher. He further found time to risk his life by teaching Driver’s Ed to aspiring young drivers in the community. Drawing on his elementary teacher training, James was known to make his Driver’s Ed students get out of the car and apologize to the stop sign if they failed to come to a complete stop. Pool manager, volunteer firefighter, line cook, police dispatcher, farmer, pyrotechnic and 911 Board Member were also present on his multipage resume. James was a true renaissance man.

In his free time, James was an avid golfer. As a long-time greenskeeper at the Albany Country Club, he certainly knew his way around a golf course. He would commonly remind out-of-towners that Albany used to have sand greens back in the day. He won the Roger Wehrli Tournament and also won the putting contest. James hit a hole-in-one on Hole Number 2 at the Albany Country Club, which is the most difficult hole on the entire course. Not taking much time to bask in the great accomplishment, James immediately realized that it was the day before the annual Wehrli Tournament, effectively meaning he missed winning a new car by a matter of hours. He argued he should still receive the car but, unsurprisingly, they declined his request.

James was preceded in death by his parents, John James McConkey and Anna Mae McConkey, and by his sister-in-law, Mary McConkey. James is survived by his two sons, Casey (Brooke) McConkey and Calan (Sarah) McConkey; his brother, Richard McConkey; his niece Katie (Jason) Dias and nephew John (Tessa) McConkey. James was very proud of his sons.

His walls were covered with their family pictures and his refrigerator plastered with reminders of their achievements.

Though James wore many hats during his 65 years, none was more important than his role as Grandpa James to his four grandchildren: Maxwell, Coraline, Whittier and Teller.

Maxwell enjoyed his go kart at Grandpa’s house, and the occasional contraband bottle of Coke. Maxwell also learned the art of starting a campfire (or what some people might know as “burning trash”). Coraline regularly found her way to the candy stash with Grandpa’s help. Whittier demanded rides on the golf cart around the house from Grandpa, which he was always happy to accommodate. Teller was born in January of 2021 so Grandpa was only able to meet her once and, therefore, had insufficient time to spoil her. Without question, James’ greatest accomplishment was being a grandpa. His grandchildren were his entire world.

James was notoriously blunt and certainly not always politically correct. But he had a way of making people feel welcome. Using his honesty and wit, James quickly disarmed strangers and made quick friends. His jokes and sarcastic remarks were not always appropriate for children, yet he took great pleasure in working around school-age kids. Behind his rough exterior he was a kind and gentle soul. Some people are ready to die. That was not James. He battled severe COPD for years; being forced to give up his hobbies and activities that he truly loved. He was then recently diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer. When given the option to do nothing or start radiation and chemotherapy, he bravely and unwaveringly chose treatment. Giving up and not fighting was never an option for James – if it meant he could spend one more day with his family by enduring the pain of treatment, he would do it without hesitation. He wanted to live and had more to give, but his body ultimately relented.

Though James’ life was cut short, he found a way to make a lasting impression on his community, friends and family. The town of Albany will not be the same. James’ friends and family will never be the same. There will never be another James McConkey – dad, brother, grandpa. Though he may be gone, the legend that is James will always remain.

Graveside Services for James were held on Friday, February 26, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. at the Grandview Cemetery in Albany. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Albany Booster Club (in care of the Roberson-Polley Chapel) in honor of James’ life-long commitment to the Albany School District.

Online condolences can be left at RobersonPolleyChapel.com.

~ OBITUARY~ Trysten Allen Manion-Boydston November 6, 2020 – February 12, 2021 Trysten Allen Manion-Boydston born November 6, 2020 to

Love, All your family & friends.

Cards may be sent to: Pine View Manor, 307 Pineview Dr, Stanberry, MO 64489

Trysten Allen Manion-Boydston born to Sierra Manion and Chase Boydston at Liberty Hospital. Trysten is a beautiful and perfect little boy, with blue eyes and a smile that would melt your heart. He always had a happy disposition whether it be making cute noises or smiling and laughing. He is known for being content and loved snuggling with mommy while breastfeeding.

Trysten is survived by Mother and Father Sierra Manion and Chase Boydston of Kansas City, 5 year old sister Keeley Renee and 2 year old brother Beau Wells. Grandparents: Mark and Barb Manion of Smithville MO, Marla Boydston of Smithville MO, Kenneth Boydston of Lawson MO. Great grandparents: Mardell King of Albany MO, Kenneth and Margaret Boydston of Gladstone MO; Aunts and Uncles: Savannah and Dennis Milnes of Mustang OK, Scott Weddle of Maryville MO, Skylar Manion of Kansas City MO, Frank and Natalee Weddle of Greenwood MO, Kayla and Josh Ayres of Dover MO, Cody Boydston of Gladstone MO; 7 cousins, many extended family and other close friends. Trysten was preceded in death by Great Grandpa Denny Manion; Great Grandma Marynell Richards; Great Grandpa Dallas Richards; Great Grandpa Jim King; Great Grandma Olive Kay Wells; Great Grandpa LeRoy Wells; Great Uncle Douglas Scott Manion and Great Uncle Brian Dallas Richards.

An open visitation was held from 3:00-4:00 p.m. Thursday, February 18, 2021 at the Meyers Northland Chapel in Parkville, Mo. A private family funeral service followed.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions are suggested to the family to be put towards a lasting memorial tribute honoring Trysten.

I would have loved to have held you in my arms And watched you grow.

I would have loved to have taught you all the things you’d need to know.

I would have loved to tuck you in at night And watched you sleep.

And wake you every morning with a kiss Upon your cheek.

I would have loved to rock you As I sang you lullabies.

I would have loved to wipe away your teardrops When you cried.

I would have loved to have kept you on this earth To call my own…

I would have loved to see when you grew up who you’d become…

But it seems my precious angel.

From the moment of your birth.

God already knew You were too beautiful for earth.

And so it is He called you home To hold you in His care.

Though I’d have loved to have held you in my arms And kept you here…

But though I miss you dearly And so wish we weren’t apart.

I’ll always love to love you For I do, with all my heart.

Most people only dream of angels…I held one in my arms.

The Albany Ministerial Alliance Food Pantry is open every Tuesday from 9:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. at the Albany United Methodist Church. The Pantry is open to everyone in the Albany School District. There is also a program in which WalMart donates their excess food every other week and those in the area are encouraged to come and pick up items that they need. The amount of the donation is different each time; sometimes we get a lot and sometimes not so much. There are usually fresh fruits and vegetables, bread, dairy items and frozen meats.

USDA Commodity and Senior Box distribution is done on a monthly basis. This ministry is for people who qualify under federal guidelines and is open to anyone in Gentry County. If a household is receiving public assistance, they qualify to receive the commodities. Following are an example of the household income guidelines if you are not on public assistance: Household size of 1 can make up to $1,330 per month; 2, up to $1,796 per month; 3, up to $2,263 per month, etc. If you need any further assistance with other family guidelines, you can call Albany United Methodist Church at 660-726-5818. Examples of food received are frozen meats, canned meats, dry peas, juices and other canned and frozen items. Senior boxes are for those over the age of 60 and the income guidelines are a little bit more lenient. You can get both commodities and a senior box if you qualify. The next day for commodities will be Saturday, March 13th from 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.

Albany also has a Second Harvest Mobile Food Drop on a monthly basis with the next onebeing Monday, March 15 beginning at 10:00 a.m., while supplies last. Normally the food drops are done on Mondays unless it is a holiday. This ministry is for everyone! The truck brings the items to Albany United Methodist Church and volunteers prepare the items for distribution and put the food items in your vehicle. The line begins on Smith Street by the church and you are allowed to pick up for three families.

If you have any questions about any of these ministries, please contact Albany United Methodist Church at 660-726-5818.

And wake you every morning with a kiss Upon your cheek.

I would have loved to rock you As I sang you lullabies.

I would have loved to wipe away your teardrops When you cried.

I would have loved to have kept you on this earth To call my own…

I would have loved to see when you grew up who you’d become…

But it seems my precious angel.

From the moment of your birth.

God already knew You were too beautiful for earth.

And so it is He called you home To hold you in His care.

Though I’d have loved to have held you in my arms And kept you here…

But though I miss you dearly And so wish we weren’t apart.

I’ll always love to love you For I do, with all my heart.

Most people only dream of angels…I held one in my arms.

JAMES ALAN McCONKEY

1955 - 2021 James Alan McConkey, an Albany legend and pillar of the community, passed away on February 21, 2021 at the age of 65. While it’s impossible to distill down his very busy 65 years into words, a cursory review will have to suffice.

Not long after his birth on November 1, 1955 in Maryville, Missouri, James moved to Albany and put down his roots. Graduating from Albany High School in 1973, James then obtained his bachelor’s degree in teaching from Northwest Missouri State University in 1977.

He spent his first few years teaching in Martinsville, Missouri.

In 1982, James and his brother, Richard, bought the Gambles Hardware Store on the west side of the square in Albany. There was a rumor that the pop machines in the store sold something other than soda, which unsurprisingly turned the store into a hangout for the locals. One can only guess why the business eventually closed in 1989, but James did end up being the only person from Albany to ever be featured in Time Magazine in the April 20, 1992 edition about the hardware store.

After his stint as an entrepreneur, James went back to teaching and coaching. If there was a sport offered in the Albany school district, “Coach McConkey” was involved with it at some point in time. James coached golf, softball, basketball, track and he would also drive the bus to and from the events. But he wasn’t just athletic, James was the total package: “Mr. McConkey” was the elementary school librarian and also the P.E. teacher. He further found time to risk his life by teaching Driver’s Ed to aspiring young drivers in the community. Drawing on his elementary teacher training, James was known to make his Driver’s Ed students get out of the car and apologize to the stop sign if they failed to come to a complete stop. Pool manager, volunteer firefighter, line cook, police dispatcher, farmer, pyrotechnic and 911 Board Member were also present on his multipage resume. James was a true renaissance man.

In his free time, James was an avid golfer. As a long-time greenskeeper at the Albany Country Club, he certainly knew his way around a golf course. He would commonly remind out-of-towners that Albany used to have sand greens back in the day. He won the Roger Wehrli Tournament and also won the putting contest. James hit a hole-in-one on Hole Number 2 at the Albany Country Club, which is the most difficult hole on the entire course. Not taking much time to bask in the great accomplishment, James immediately realized that it was the day before the annual Wehrli Tournament, effectively meaning he missed winning a new car by a matter of hours. He argued he should still receive the car but, unsurprisingly, they declined his request.

James was preceded in death by his parents, John James McConkey and Anna Mae McConkey, and by his sister-in-law, Mary McConkey. James is survived by his two sons, Casey (Brooke) McConkey and Calan (Sarah) McConkey; his brother, Richard McConkey; his niece Katie (Jason) Dias and nephew John (Tessa) McConkey. James was very proud of his sons.

His walls were covered with their family pictures and his refrigerator plastered with reminders of their achievements.

Though James wore many hats during his 65 years, none was more important than his role as Grandpa James to his four grandchildren: Maxwell, Coraline, Whittier and Teller.

Maxwell enjoyed his go kart at Grandpa’s house, and the occasional contraband bottle of Coke. Maxwell also learned the art of starting a campfire (or what some people might know as “burning trash”). Coraline regularly found her way to the candy stash with Grandpa’s help. Whittier demanded rides on the golf cart around the house from Grandpa, which he was always happy to accommodate. Teller was born in January of 2021 so Grandpa was only able to meet her once and, therefore, had insufficient time to spoil her. Without question, James’ greatest accomplishment was being a grandpa. His grandchildren were his entire world.

James was notoriously blunt and certainly not always politically correct. But he had a way of making people feel welcome. Using his honesty and wit, James quickly disarmed strangers and made quick friends. His jokes and sarcastic remarks were not always appropriate for children, yet he took great pleasure in working around school-age kids. Behind his rough exterior he was a kind and gentle soul. Some people are ready to die. That was not James. He battled severe COPD for years; being forced to give up his hobbies and activities that he truly loved. He was then recently diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer. When given the option to do nothing or start radiation and chemotherapy, he bravely and unwaveringly chose treatment. Giving up and not fighting was never an option for James – if it meant he could spend one more day with his family by enduring the pain of treatment, he would do it without hesitation. He wanted to live and had more to give, but his body ultimately relented.

Though James’ life was cut short, he found a way to make a lasting impression on his community, friends and family. The town of Albany will not be the same. James’ friends and family will never be the same. There will never be another James McConkey – dad, brother, grandpa. Though he may be gone, the legend that is James will always remain.

Graveside Services for James were held on Friday, February 26, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. at the Grandview Cemetery in Albany. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Albany Booster Club (in care of the Roberson-Polley Chapel) in honor of James’ life-long commitment to the Albany School District.

FOOD MINISTRIES FOR 2021 Albany has many opportunities for individuals and families who need food help.

The Albany Ministerial Alliance Food Pantry is open every Tuesday from 9:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. at the Albany United Methodist Church. The Pantry is open to everyone in the Albany School District. There is also a program in which WalMart donates their excess food every other week and those in the area are encouraged to come and pick up items that they need. The amount of the donation is different each time; sometimes we get a lot and sometimes not so much. There are usually fresh fruits and vegetables, bread, dairy items and frozen meats.

USDA Commodity and Senior Box distribution is done on a monthly basis. This ministry is for people who qualify under federal guidelines and is open to anyone in Gentry County. If a household is receiving public assistance, they qualify to receive the commodities. Following are an example of the household income guidelines if you are not on public assistance: Household size of 1 can make up to $1,330 per month; 2, up to $1,796 per month; 3, up to $2,263 per month, etc. If you need any further assistance with other family guidelines, you can call Albany United Methodist Church at 660-726-5818. Examples of food received are frozen meats, canned meats, dry peas, juices and other canned and frozen items. Senior boxes are for those over the age of 60 and the income guidelines are a little bit more lenient. You can get both commodities and a senior box if you qualify. The next day for commodities will be Saturday, March 13th from 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.

Albany also has a Second Harvest Mobile Food Drop on a monthly basis with the next onebeing Monday, March 15 beginning at 10:00 a.m., while supplies last. Normally the food drops are done on Mondays unless it is a holiday. This ministry is for everyone! The truck brings the items to Albany United Methodist Church and volunteers prepare the items for distribution and put the food items in your vehicle. The line begins on Smith Street by the church and you are allowed to pick up for three families.

If you have any questions about any of these ministries, please contact Albany United Methodist Church at 660-726-5818.
