Michael Steven McCann, 60, of Viola, passed away peacefully, April 2nd at his home,
surrounded by his family and friends. Michael died after a hard fought battle with renal cancer.
He was born in La Crosse, WI on April 14, 1955 to Jerome and Marjorie (Riek) McCann, where
he lived with his parents and siblings until moving to the Eyota area. Mike graduated from
Dover-Eyota High School in 1973, where he was known for his exceptional athletic skills.
He married Donna Wegman on May 8, 1982. They were blessed with 33 years of marriage,
three children and eight grandchildren. They moved to the Viola area where they raised their children and still reside. Michael spent most of his working career as a cement finisher and carpenter. His true passion was hunting and fishing. Any chance he had he was on the river or in the fields with his family and friends. He was an avid Green Bay Packer fan and enjoyed playing cards with family and friends.

Sacksith) McCann, Kristin (Josh Hansen) McCann, his siblings; Paul (Kim) McCann, Bill (Tami Matzke)
