Thomas McCann Obituary

Thomas K. McCann Was born November 5, 1953 in Spokane, Washington to Tom and Elaine McCann and died December 1, 2007 after a long heart related illness. Tom Loved his family, friends, and his customers. He had a passion for all sports. Tom had a natural ability to make all strangers his friends and could put people at ease with his quick wit and sense of fun. He had a heart that was as big as his stature and countless people have shared their stories of what Tom did for them personally. Tom moved to Tacoma in 1958 when his father started Osborne-McCann Cadillac. He graduated from Clover Park High School in 1973 and attended Tacoma Community College, but he could not wait to go to work for his father at the dealership. He helped move the family business to Fife and it became McCann Motors. He is survived by his mother, Elaine McCann, his children Kelly and Thomas McCann, his former wife, Karen McCann, his sister, Melaine McCann of Port Orchard, his brother, Richard McCann of Chandler Heights, AZ., and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins. A Celebration of his life will be held at McCann Motors at 6411 20th St. E, Fife, WA., 98424 at six o'clock PM on Tuesday December 4, 2007. In Lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Boys and Girls Club of South Puget Sound. 1501 Pacific Ave., Suite 202, Tacoma, WA 98402

I am sorry to hear about the passing of Tom. He was a great friend and will always be remembered for his dedication to service men and women in our country. I met Tom many years ago through the Corvette Club and we remained friends even after he was no longer as active in the club. My family's thoughts and prayers are with Tom's family during this difficult time.

Tommy McCann was my mom's "crazy-fun" cousin. I enjoyed just watching him talk and laugh at the McCann Family events. His heart was so full of fun and love. All who were fortunate to have known Tommy were blessed and for certian, had a smile on their face as they walked away.

It was always fun and adventure growing up with Tom on Docken Lane. We had candy sales and schemes that were orchestrated by Tom and provided great fun to the whole Docken Lane gang. Our games were always more creative and challenging when Tom took the lead. The neighborhood good times and bad times were always richer and bearable because of the McCann family. Tom was our buddy and our mate. I am so sorry to hear of his death. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Tom was a rich character that will be missed.

I grew up as a neighbor to Tom and his family. Although I was the youngest of all the clans, Tom was always nice and worked to include me in all Dockon Lane activities. His warmth and charm will be missed, but not forgotten.
