Dear Sean, you remind me so much of my own children. I wish I had known you here on earth, I would have welcomed you into our home and cared for you. I'm so sorry you were so alone. Rest in the love of your mother now for all of eternity, nothing will ever separate you again. God bless and sending you so much love.

Siento una tristeza enorme por su muerte, y el que haya perdido a su madre en el proceso que llevaba fue un retroceso para él ya que no sentía la motivación por seguir, y más si estaba solo. La verdad es muy triste saber que ya no está. Que Dios le de el eterno descanso a su alma. Ya esta con su mamá.

I've watched Sean's story I really wanted him to make it he just seemed like a great guy who deserved more than he got ! God Bless You Sean RIP

I happened upon Sean's story by chance. As I watched the TV shows I so hoped he would get on top of his situation and rejoin life. Sadly it was not to be. We all face issues in our life journeys and Sean has more than his share of them. I guess one small compensation is that now he is with his beloved Mom Renee. God's love be with you Sean. You suffered so much and now you are at peace.

Sean I just saw your story a month ago and am deeply touched by you and your struggle. Thank you for being strong and brave enough to air your story on t.v. I'm not a big crier but I cried through the episode and you have encouraged me to spend time with and seek others that may suffer from loneliness. May you and your sweet mother rest in peace. Your life was not in vain.

I am so very saddened to hear of your passing. I followed you on TLC and always wondered about your loneliness and your dear mother. Its too late now to try and think of ways to help you. You see I have a nephew who lost both his parents and hes suffering from his food addiction. I saw the last show you were on when Dr Now spoke about you. I wish I could have helped you in some way and the closest I can help now is to be there for my nephew. I make it a point to visit him and just sit and listen to him. Your life inspired me Sean and although you left this world far too soon, you taught me that just standing back and watching someone in their loneliness and not saying or doing anything is wrong. Now I visit with my nephew and I encourage my entire family to visit him. He seems happier these days and hes still fighting obesity and his food addiction but we accept him for who he is. Thank you Sean for teaching me about loneliness through your story. I know youre in Heaven with your mother and not suffering anymore. God bless you and rest in peace.

It feels strange to miss someone I never met. It's been over a month since my 1st comment of you and right now your heavy on my mind. I actually cried from the thought of you. Such a nice person and beautiful soul. I just hope that you and your mother are together. I just wish I known you personally. No one should ever feel alone in this world.

Sean, last night I thought about you a lot. On the tv show you commented about feeling lonely without your mom. So here we all are, strangers to each other, gathered to pay tribute to you. People who never met you say they miss you. That's the impact your life made on ours. And to think most of us would never have known about you except for that show. I wish you could have lived longer to realize your dreams. I wish the same for you beloved mother who passed too soon as well. All the time she was in the hospital for her own medical issues, she must have been thinking about you. Now you're together again in a new place with new bodies, but with that same beautiful spirit. I look forward to meeting you there when it's my time.

I agree with others here who wished they could have been there to help him and feel like they've lost a friend. Next time we meet someone who is struggling, think of Sean and lend a hand in his memory.
Something about him just tugged at the heart. He said his mom meant everything to him and I believe they're reunited.

June 20, 2019

God called you home too soon. I wish you were able to fulfill your dreams, a nice girl, the business you wanted to open. RIP Sean.
