We sure enjoyed the times we got to visit with Sean. Such a genuine person, filled with a lot of love. Sean and your entire family will always hold a special place in our hearts!! We will miss him, but very grateful for the moments that we were able to share.

So sad to hear about this, my son Tyler called me at 4:30 in the morning sobbing to tell me what happened. He is in Montana but friends called him, he could not get here for the memorial so I went for him, he wants Justin, Chantel, Michelle, Jim, Gisele to know he wanted so bad to be here, Sean is his best friend he always told me, We love Sean and know that even though we miss him, he is no longer suffering
