William Alexander McCully

William “Bill” McCully Jr.

August 17, 1952 – September 20, 2025

William McCully of Plymouth, passed away peacefully on September 20, 2025, at the age of 73. Known for his kindness and unwavering devotion to family, Bill lived a life of service to others with a passion for serving youth.

Born August 17, 1952, to William and Elizabeth McCully, Bill grew up surrounded by family, faith, and with a deep appreciation for time spent together with those he loved. He was the beloved husband of Mary (Kos) McCully, and the proud father of William (Megan) and Andrew (Mame). Nothing brought him greater joy than being “Boppa” to his five grandchildren: Charlotte, Callan, Theodore, Mara, and Kieran. They were his joy, his legacy, and his favorite excuse to cuddle.

Bill is further survived by his sisters Suzanne (the late Tom Christensen), Janet (James Haarbauer), and Leah (Larry Sweet), as well as many loving nieces, nephews, and extended family members, including the Kos family. He was preceded in death by his parents and his brothers-in-law, Tom Christensen and Paul Kos.

Bill was involved in the family business, McCully Egg Company, for many years before transitioning to real estate and then managing McCully’s Educational Resource Center together with Mary. A dedicated community member, he held leadership roles in the Boy Scouts Troop 781 and Plymouth Canton Junior Baseball League. Thousands of children were embraced, educated, defended and protected by Bill as serving children was a common thread throughout his life - whether volunteering, within his work at the tutoring center, as the baby whisperer of church, or reaching out to a child in need through a smile or a hand.

Bill loved summers at the family cottage in Kingsville, Ontario, where he found peace in a good book, a nap on the porch, and the sounds of Lake Erie. He held these memories close - growing up with his sisters along the shore, bringing his kids to spend time with extended family, July 4th celebrations with special friends each year, and then, together with his mother, sharing the tradition with the next generation.

In his final year, Bill pursued a longtime dream: to travel the Great Loop by boat. Life had other plans, but he did complete half the journey—an adventure shared with his family—and that seems perfectly fitting. Bill was never about the destination; he was about the ride, the company, and having a great time together.

Bill was deeply loved and will be missed more than words can express. He leaves behind a wake of laughter, wisdom, and love.
