Obituary - Warren Kennedy

Warren E. Kennedy, 70, of Buffalo, Missouri passed away March 26, 2011 at the Hospice House in Kansas City, Missouri. A visitation will be held on Tuesday, March 29 at Schowengerdt Funeral Home in Butler, Missouri at 1:00 pm followed by a funeral service at 2:00 pm.

An additional memorial service will be held on Thursday, March 31st at Grace Community Methodist Church in Buffalo, Missouri from 7:00 - 8:30 pm. Warren was born January 31, 1941 in Butler, Missouri, to Myrle and Philena (Warren) Kennedy. He played football at Butler High School and at Fort Scott Community College before receiving degrees in education from Central Missouri State and Drury universities. Warren was an animated teacher who made topics come to life. When he wasn’t pulling a starter pistol or sliding into trash cans during class, he was dressing in period costumes. Warren also was an inspirational coach who used a strong voice and a quick clipboard to help many young men find the best in themselves. Warren loved to play, whether it was football, golf, backyard softball or cards. If there was a game going on, Warren was in the thick of it. 

Warren is survived by Judy, his wife of 47 years, of Buffalo; two daughters, Nancy Manning (Scott) and Amy Lindsay (Larry), both of Stilwell, Kansas; one brother, Michael Kennedy (Janice) of Belton, Missouri; two grandchildren, Ben and Allison; several nieces and nephews, as well as numerous others who consider him a father, uncle or grandfather. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation in Warren’s name to either The Hospice House of Kansas City or the American Cancer Society.

World renown livestock auctioneer coming to Bates County

Kyle Shobe, the 2010 world livestock auctioneer champion, will put his prize-winning talent to work at  MO-KAN Livestock Market, Inc., in Passaic, Mo. on April 14th.

At MO-KAN Shobe will be working an 11 a.m. sale as approximately 1200-1500 head of feeder cattle go through the sale ring, said market owner Jim Hertzog.

There is no charge to attend the sale. The market is located on U.S. Highway 71, five miles north of Butler, Mo., and 50 miles south of Kansas City.

This is the third consecutive world champion to appear at MO-KAN. Shobe, of Lewistown, Mont., follows 2008 champion Matt Lowery, and 2009’s Ty Thompson.

“It’s always exciting to have the world champion here,” Hertzog said. “People love to hear him sell – and it’s a great way to demonstrate true price discovery, which only the auction method offers.”

Hertzog could become the 2011 world champion, since he’s qualified for the June 25 World Livestock Auctioneer Championship (WLAC), in Williamston, S.C.

This is third consecutive year he’s qualified for the WLAC. His best finish so far was among the ten finalists in 2009. That was also the year Shobe – in his first WLAC – was  named runner-up champion, or third place.
