William L. Mcnally

William Leonard McNally, age 16, of O Fallon, Missouri, passed away on Monday, July 25, 2022, in O Fallon, MO. He was born in Lake Saint Louis, Missouri on October 23, 2005, to William and Kathleen McNally (nee McGuire).


Will, our miracle baby, arrived too early and was in a hurry to walk, talk, and learn. Will was a happy baby, child, and teen. He teased everyone and always had 'that grin'. Will loved to learn and was very passionate about his family, especially his four nephews and two dogs. Will also loved fishing, hunting, and his truck. His grandpa said he could "talk the paper off the wall," and he nicknamed him "Sir Talks A lot." His friends liked to call him the "Redneck Philosopher" for his strong views and passionate, intellectual conversations. He was also an incredible guitarist, poet, and songwriter.


Our hearts will forever be broken, but our memories will last forever. Will was our world with so many adventures awaiting him. He will be tremendously missed and is now safe in God's arms. Until we meet again, our sweet boy...We Love You.
