I was a 42 year old UK student. Sean was in my study group in a Psychology class in Funkhouser. I remember his respect for me and his sense of humor. I was so sad when he died. The world lost a leader.

It's been nearly five years- five years that I've learned and grown, step by step, to move on and find new paths to follow. Thanks, dad, for all you did for us. Miss you.

Sean and I were on the Interfraternity Council together at UK. We were in different fraternities, but became close friends. He had a bigger than life personality where naturally people gravitated to him. He was a year ahead of me and I looked up to him as if he were five years older.
My prayers go out to his parents, siblings, wife, two children and many friends as they mourn Sean leaving us way too early.

Dear Tim, Lori, and the entire Peterman family,
My heart was broken on Saturday when I received a text from my brother Lowell about Sean's passing. I lost my sister Leta to cancer two years ago and can feel the pain of the loss of a loved one way before their time. I knew Sean through my friendship with Tim and will always remember Sean for his warm and loving spirit and jovial ways! Please know that my prayers will be with each of you during this heart breaking time.
My deepest sympathy,

Words cannot describe how sad I am at hearing of the loss of Sean from this Earth. As a Christian, I rejoice that he is now with God in Heaven, and pray for peace to Tim, and all of his family. Sean was a kind, and gracious man, who many years ago said kind words to me when I needed to hear them. Rest in Peace, my friend.

Sean was group partner with myself and another student in a psychology class at UK. This was not the usual group as my friend and I were old enough to be his mother but he was wonderfully funny and a great worker. He was a wonderful young man and I am so sad for your loss of his future.

Precious memories of Sean and I working together under a blazing hot sun loading 80+ lbs. bales of alfalfa all the while he would be singing an AC/DC tune at the top of his lungs will be etched in my consciousness forever. We worked so well together... see you on the other side my friend.

My deepest sympathy and condolences for the entire Peterman family. I worked with John Peterman at International Spike many years ago, and my children went to school with the Peterman children.

I was saddened to receive this news about Sean from my daughter, Renee LaCasse Blaney. I have fond memories of Sean & his zest when he would "hang out" at our home (he & Renee were classmates at Tates Creek). So polite to adults, so comfortable with people of all ages..that's our Sean. My thoughts are with you & yours. Joyce Griffin

I simply couldn't believe what I read, nor did I want too. Sean was such a special person in every way. As much as it hurts me I cannot imagine the pain his wife and daughters are going through. My prayers have been with them and the whole family since I knew. That smile is what Sean brought to everyone, as well as the most kind heart that any person could have. RIP my good friend.
Please contact me if his wife and daughters need ANYTHING and I will be there. The world has lost a truly wonderful man.

As others have noted here, Sean was quite a character in high school. I, too, fondly recall his outgoing, inclusive personality that was coupled with a comedic presence reminiscent of John Belushi. Sean made me laugh, and I offer my condolences to his family.

Hello from Milwaukee,Wis. I worked at Waterstreet Brewery with Seans girlfriend, when he came in, the place took on a new energy a special energy that you were glad you were there. Funniest man I knew. Him and his buddy would bring down the house, I mean abs hurting next day funny. They ruled the basketball courts around the Marquette campus. The greatest memory I have is Seans party for U.K/Duke 1991, the funniest time I had even after "the shot". The town of Milwaukee mourns with Carlise and the Peterman family. Thank you Mr. and Mrs Peterman for your son. I really believed in would own Hillshire, really surprised he was a farmer, glad he was doing what he loved.
