David L. "Lou" McCann

1965 - 2021

David L. "Lou" McCann, 56, of Wilkes-Barre, departed this earthly life too soon. In his passing, heaven gained an angel and we all gained a guardian.

Born in Wilkes-Barre on March 1, 1965, he was the son of the late Gerald Walter McCann.

He was a graduate as a Mohawk from E.L. Meyers High School; he also attended classes at Luzerne County Community College.

He worked at family owned McCann's Beer Distributor in his youth before transitioning into his career for Holsum/Bimbo Bakeries until his retirement in 2015.

He was a member of St. Boniface Church, Wilkes-Barre, where he served as an altar server.

Surviving are his mother, Virginia (Tomas) McCann; sisters, Diane Pientka (Mark), Marcia Pasone (Dominic), Kelly McCann; brother, Dennis McCann; nieces Brittany, Briana and Kaitlin; nephews, Justin and Dominic; great-nieces Mackenzie and Emma; and great-nephew, Joseph.

David was a sports enthusiast who enjoyed following all types of sports. He was an avid NASCAR fan, with Dale Earnhardt being his favorite. He was also a diehard fan of the Yankees and a devoted member of the Steelers Nation and a dedicated Carolina Tarheel fan. He was also an avid reader, history buff and enjoyed all genres of music.

His passing has left a heartache almost unimaginable. A comforting thought is our father was waiting to greet him with open, loving arms.

Private funeral services are by George A. Strish Inc. Funeral Home, 105 N. Main St., Ashley, with Deacon William Behm officiating. There will be no public calling hours.
