Not sure what to say?

I had the pleasure of working directly on the same team as Sean for 3 years and I will always cherish our time together. Sean was not only a great coworker that picked up every call, took me under his wing, and gave fantastic guidance anytime I needed it. He was also my friend. I had so many fun memories with Sean and will miss his contagious positive attitude and just the way be made everything fun even in tough times. I will greatly miss him and I am saying prayers for everyone that is...

I had the honor of working with Sean over the last two and a half years as the MEM on the NorCal team. From the very beginning, he took me under his wing. He showed me not only how to see Walmart through his eyes, but also how to genuinely love it. Sean taught me about the business, but he also taught me about life. He was always there, picking up every call, offering advice, and making time for conversation. I will always treasure the sales rallies, our talks, and the friendship we built....

He taught me so much about the industry, customer, and most importantly....life and how to deal with people. He was always such a pleasure to hang out with and ALWAYS looked forward to when we had a call, visit, or...

Oreo Stacking with Sean in Portland. Of course Sean was the champion.

Kim and family, we are so sorry for your sudden loss. Sean was AMAZING in every way. I had the privilege of working with Sean for many years. Sean was always at his best in the biggest moments. At rallies, in front of the customer and at local meetings Sean shined the brightest. Over the years we developed a strong friendship that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Sean was a great mentor and friend. Everyone that knew Sean loved Sean. I know Sean loved God and we all know where he is...
