He was born on December 1, 1963 in Talihina, Oklahoma to Patricia Jo (Summers) McKinney and Billy Gene McKinney and passed away on January 22, 2021 in Fort Smith, Arkansas. He was married to Annetta Jean (Smith) McKinney on December 12, 1981 in Flower Hill, Oklahoma. He was preceded in death by his father, Billy Gene McKinney, sister, Sandy Kay McKinney, and grandparents; Utah “Cal” McKinney and Naomi McKinney. Bo was a loving Husband, Father, Papa, Son, and Brother. He never met a stranger and was a friend to all. He leaves a legacy, Bo’s Collison Center. His passion was cars, but most importantly using that as an outlet to minister. Bo was a firm believer in Christ, Preacher of The Gospel, and would always leave the 99 to bring in the 1. We are confident that Bo got his healing and is setting by the River of Life with his dad and granddad, waiting for the rest of us. Bo was an avid hunter and would never miss an opportunity to go to Colorado to elk or bear hunt. He was always the HEAD and not the tail, being the leader of our pack. Most importantly he loved nothing more than his family. His grandchildren were Papas life. He never missed a moment to scare or play a joke on them, Bo Bo was the BEST man we ever knew, till we meet again.
