Richard S. “Sean” McNally, 32, born Dec. 30, 1987, passed away Wednesday, June 17, 2020.

Sean was son to Mr. Paul F. McNally and Mrs. Chandra Herring.

Sean, being a Christian, loved the lord with all of his heart and witnessed to all. He attended Apostolic Tabernacle in Wilmington, where he was mentored by Mr. Leon Baker.

Sean was preceded in death by his mother, Chandra Herring; and sister, Melissa McNally. Although Sean was greatly loved, and will be terribly missed, he will never be forgotten.

To carry on his cherished memories, Sean leaves behind his son, Lukas McNally, special friend, Olivia Johnson; father, Paul F. McNally Sr.; brothers, Paul F. McNally Jr. and Christopher McNally; “mom,” Joy Woodside; and Jessie McNally.
