Port Allegany – Daniel Richard McCann, 79, passed away peacefully on May 11, 2026, at Olean General Hospital. Born on July 17, 1946, in Elmira, NY. Dan lived a life filled with love, laughter, friendship, and devotion to his family.

Dan was preceded in death by his parents, Thelma Patton and Carl McCann. He is survived by his loving wife of 40 years, Mary Kay McCann; his sisters, Judy Poyneer and Jackie Root; and his cherished children, Shannon and Mike Kio, Griffin and Susan McCann, Jack and Hallie Gaddess, Lesa Miller, and Christopher Gaddess.

He was a proud grandfather to Kiersten and Chad Austin, Dane and Brianna Kio, Maggie Gaddess, Ellie Gaddess, and Josie Gaddess, and a loving great-grandfather to Avery, Alayna, Sage, Camden, and Casen.

A proud Vietnam veteran, Dan honorably served his country in the United States Navy. Following his military service, he dedicated 38 years to his work as a mold maker with Saint-Gobain.  For many years, he was a proud member of the VFW Frank Burt 6391, the Loyal Order of the Moose 460 and the Smethport Country Club.

Dan was truly the life of the party and found his greatest joy in spending time and taking pictures with family and friends. He loved traveling, golfing, and enjoying wines from around the world. One of his favorite places was Marco Island, Florida, where he spent many winter months creating lasting memories with both old and new friends.

Dan will be remembered for his warm spirit, quick smile, generous heart, and the countless laughs he shared with everyone fortunate enough to know him. His presence brought joy to every gathering, and his memory will live on forever in the hearts of his family and friends.

Graveside services will be held on Friday, July 17, 2026 at 11:00AM in Fairview Cemetery, with the Rev Joann Piatko, officiating. Military Honors will be accorded by the Port Allegany Honor Guard. A celebration of Dan’s life will follow the services.
