He is survived by his father, Richard E. McCartney, Sr.; sisters, Tawnya Cadegan and Angel (Troy) Bennett; children, Michelle Renee Bennedict, Michael Walenciej, and Ireland McCartney; 12 grandchildren; his lifelong best friend, Bill Dawson; and a host of nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
