Not sure what to say?

Brother Thomas was a favorite friend of ours from the Monastery in Pecos. He truly embodied the Benedictine charism of "Hospitality." Brother Thomas had that ready smile which others have mentioned, but was also always ready to offer a cookie, a piece of chocolate, a cup of coffee or a joke. He ALWAYS made us feel welcomed and loved, every time we visited the Monastery. He will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Our loss is TRULY Heaven's gain... Blessings and Lots of...

What a sweet young man as we knew him to be in Indonesia and afterwards in Dallas. We will always remember his gentle nature and smile.

"May Light Perpetual shine upon dear Sean. We met him while visiting friends at Pecos. He is, indeed, a kind, loving, gentle man who will be missed. Our prayers and sympathy to his family and loved ones." Ann McNaul-Miller and Stu Miller, OSB, Oblates

I recall him ringing the bell when on retreat at Pecos. May he rest in peace. Sorry for this loss. I know he and his family liked to travel together when he had vacations.

we got to know Sean at Pecos---what a wonderful person--generous with his time, always looking for ways to help, a great smile--one of God's quiet saints.We were blessed to know him.

I met Sean in Pecos a few summers ago and was so touched and inspired by his gentleness and selflessness. He is a dear soul. My condolences to his family and friends.

Sean was a joy to work with. I could always count on his being a compassionate, caring friend. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

The world would be a better place with more people like Sean
