Allen W. McCann, IV

Allen W. McCann, IV, lovingly known as Bill, passed away while surrounded by his family on Jan. 8, 2026 after a short and courageous battle with leukemia. Bill leaves behind a family who loved him and a life marked by loyalty, hard work, and quiet joy. 

Bill’s greatest love was his wife who stood at the center of his world. He cherished time with his family, especially his grandchildren who bought him endless pride and happiness. There was nothing Bill loved more than being “Pop Pop.” Some of his favorite moments were simple ones – watching the ocean, boating, soaking in clear, blue water, football Sundays, enjoying a cold beer with friends, or spending hours working on cars with his masterful skill. Bill also loved visiting the local drag strip, making things go “boom,” NASCAR, the Ocean City Air Show and Old Guy Boat Days. 

Bill was a man who showed his love through presence and action. He was steady, dependable, and always willing to help – and he never asked for recognition. His strength, humor, and unwavering devotion to those he loved will be deeply missed and forever remembered. 

Bill is survived by his loving wife, Teresa (Tess); his children, Heather (Ryan), Jonna (Kevin), and Christopher; and his grandchildren, Bentley, Teagan, Dayton, and Delaney. 

Also surviving are his sisters, Amy (Michael) and Susan; his brothers, Steven (Heather) and Jeff (Kelly); his stepmother, Maureen along with a host of other family and friends, and his beloved “Gulls Way Crew.” Bill is also survived by his Uncle Frankie, who was more like a brother to him.

Bill was preceded in death by his mother, Dorothy Billings, his father, Allen McCann III, and his stepfather, Richard Billings. 

A celebration of life will be held at a later date. As a way to honor Bill, the family encourages remembering him by enjoying the sunshine, waves, and the company of those you love.
