Sean Lewin Obituary

LEWIN, Sean James Born November 4, 1985, Edmonton, AB Died November 25, 2016, Vancouver, BC It is with very heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved Sean, age 31. Left to mourn him are his Mum, Susan; brothers, Christopher and Gareth (Teagan); Dad, Simon (Heather), Megan and Wenda; Uncle Peter and Aunt Marie (Calgary); cousins Matthew (Tamzen), and Karen (Kyle) and their children (Calgary); friends in Edmonton, Bragg Creek, and Cochrane, Alberta; aunts, uncles, cousins and friends in the UK and Ireland; his cherished lifelong, and new friends in Victoria and Vancouver - you know who you are; his co-workers from Victoria and Vancouver. Sean attended Margaret Jenkins School, Oak Bay High, and Camosun College. He loved his chosen career in carpentry. He played baseball at Fireman's Park, and soccer with Bays United. He was a recreational camper, fisherman, golfer and hip-hop lover. Sean was greatly loved by all. He was a loving, caring, funny, generous son, brother and friend; never one to miss a party, or a trip to Gonzales Beach, Cowichan River or house-boating on Shuswap Lake. Please join us on Sunday, December 18, 2016 at 2:30pm at Victoria Citadel, 4030 Douglas St., Victoria, BC. for a celebration of life. Bring your stories and pictures, let us laugh and cry together and remember this wonderful young man. In lieu of flowers, a memorial for Sean is being created; please contact the family for more information.

Dearest Sean's loving Family,

My name is Mb and I knew your son for the past 6 years. Even though our interactions peppered the 6 years, Sean's gentle, kind and loving spirit made a profound impact on mine. I feel devastated for your loss, for our loss, for the world's loss. I hope you can take comfort in knowing that you raised an incredible man. Sean taught me how to love myself better, simply by loving me just the way I am, especially in the dark moments when I couldn't love myself. I honour his great impact on my life & his memory by continuing his gentle and game-changing legacy: to love myself just the way I am, and to love others just the way they are. Because that is how change, healing, and growth manifest, through compassion.

I love you Sean. I feel deeply privileged that I knew and loved you. And will forever love you. You were a Peaceful Warrior for Love and Kindness. You were a King.

All my love,
Mb

Our deepest condolences to the friends and family of Sean. We met him as Jax on Halloween this past year and he was a riot. He had quite the life force about him. Glad we got to briefly share some laughter and smiles. May you rest in peace friend.

To Sean's Loving Family,
My name is Jen & this summer I married Brent Metcalfe. Sean attended the wedding. He prepared a speech and read it out to us personally. I think he may have been happier for us than we were. I only knew him for a very short time, however, I knew he was an incredible person and a wonderful friend.
I am so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and him.
