What was Sean like?

Sean was always such a kind boy, willing to help his friends, family and neighbors. He was a very humble guy and I’ve heard so many wonderful stories since he’s passed, about how he helped others before himself. It makes me very proud to be his mom

Favorite memory of Sean

I have so many special memories of Sean it’s hard to choose just one but when he was a small boy, no more than 7 or 8. He came running in all excited that our neighbor was having a garage sale and wanted some $ to buy something. I said he didn’t need anymore toys but he begged me saying it wasn’t for him. I finally gave him a $1 to spend and his face lit up! He came back later with a ceramic penguin and a baby penguin. It was for me and he was so happy. I treasure that penguin like gold!

What will be missed most about Sean

I miss him everyday. His beautiful smile could light up the room. He called or texted me everyday. He used to come home from work or college and sit and watch a tv show with me at night. I’d make him popcorn or an ice cream and he’d tell me about his day. I miss making his favorite meals and desserts. He was my rock when his sister started having problems and when she passed. I was so worried about him but he would always tell that I didn’t need to, he would always be there for me. 😢

How will Sean like to be remembered?

Sean would want to be remembered exactly the way he is being remembered, as a caring, loving human being. He always had time to help a friend or neighbor. He loved the lord and his family. He was such a hardworking kid, who always had a job and went to school. It breaks my heart that he never took time off for vacations or fun. I heard many stories and I’m still hearing stories of how he helped people at work & school. He was truly loved by so many. I am proud of the man he was becoming.
