Kenneth Edward McCann lost his battle to lung cancer in Covington, LA and 
passed away peacefully in his sleep to be with the Lord on September 11, 2016.  
He was 62.  
He was born on August 7, 1954 in Houston, TX and was a long term resident of 
New Caney, TX.  

Kenneth was preceded in death by his wife Betty, his parents Mr and Mrs Richard 
McCann, Sr, his stepmother Julia McCann, and his sister Mary Helen Simms.  

He is survived by his brothers and sisters and their families:  Richard McCann 
Jr, Jeannie Bennett, Sharla Moore, Daniel McCann, Wanda Miller, James McCann, 
Evelyn Mowen , and many other family members.

While many were being drafted during the Vietman War, Kenneth enlisted at the 
young age of 17 in the Navy.  He proudly served his country for four years as 
Shipman on several vessels.  

After his honorable discharge, he proceeded to work in the oil industry for 30 
years, learning various aspects of the business.  With his vast knowledge of 
the trade, Kenneth was able to mentor many who followed in his footsteps.

Kenneth had a great love for the water and was an avid Elvis fan.  One of his 
most enjoyable pastimes was singing his favorite Elvis songs while cooking for 
his sisters Wanda and Evelyn.

Being a very compassionate and generous man, Kenneth was an animal lover and 
advocated for animal rights.  He would always donate food to the local animal 
shelter.  He was a member of Paws For Ability, a non-profit volunteer basis 
organization that finds homes for abandoned animals.  

Memorial services for Kenneth Edward McCann will be held on Saturday, September 
17, 2016, at 2:00 PM at the Mandeville Seventh Day Adventist Church 22337 
Little Creek Rd, Mandeville, LA 70471

The family is asking in lieu of flowers to please make a donation to your local 
ASPCA.
God Bless.
