Not sure what to say?

I think of Sean all the time. I miss his leadership, his joy, his jokes, his stories, his presence in the office. While I am often sad to miss him I feel great joy in having known him. I'm so glad that I joined his team at TMC and that we worked together daily.

I stumbled over an announcement in the P&S magazine and it brushed off the cobwebs. I wasn't sure, but I thought that I remembered Sean from the BHP days at Columbia, but I found this page on a search. Fond memories became more clear when I read about Sean and Kim meeting in our little theater group. My warm sympathy goes out to Kim and Meghan and the rest of the Elliot family. Mark Rosing

Back in 2005, our 3 yr old daughter was suddenly very ill. She was running a high fever and every time we took her in to be seen for medical care, no one could diagnose her. Dr. Sean Elliott came in and immediately figured it out. I credit him with saving her life and she is know a healthy adult. He was the only one that gave me hope through our daughter's ordeal. My condolences to his family for their loss. I want to thank them for their sacrifice of time with Sean. I know we needed a lot of...

Dr Elliott was instrumental in helping my daughter save her port for her daily infusions that are needed. He was our hero! As soon as the nurses found out Dr Elliott was on the team caring for my daughter, she became a VIP. It was evident he was well loved by the staff at TMC. He will be so missed. We are saddened to hear of his passing. The world needs more doctors like him!

Dr. Elliott always had a kind word, a smile on his face, and something funny to say.

I met Sean at the college freshman orientation for our daughters several years ago. While I didn´t get to know him well, he was the rare guy whom I liked from the get go. I remember us four parents bumping into each other at event after event, and enjoying Sean and Kim´s company. I was struck by how down to earth and genuinely nice he was. He will be missed.

When I was in nursing school, Dr. Elliott led a day of interprofessional learning involving grad students from all the different health sciences departments at the UA. Nursing school seems like a blur to me nowadays, but that day for sure stayed with me as the most engaging and fun day thanks to Dr. Elliott´s enthusiasm and energy. Side note- I was teacher before I became a nurse, therefore, being in the presence of Dr. Elliott that day I was able to thoroughly appreciate his charisma for...

I first saw Sean when he came to interview for a position at the University of Arizona Department of Pediatrics. He was soon hired and ID shared adjacent office space with the Residency Program. And the rest was history. He was amazing and will definitely leave a big loss behind.
