Sean, I really can't believe I'm writing this. We met through a mutual friend and we became friends. Whenever you seen me or my son, you always made sure we were ok. You were the only one who could cut his crazy hair! Even though I haven't seen you in a while, it wouldn't of mattered cuz your just that type of person whose outgoing,loyal,hilarious,didn't care what ppl thought of you,and never forgot what ppl did for you, and believe me I'll never forget what you did for me and mine. I'm gonna miss you. I needed to get the baby's haircut ,now where am I gonna take him. You didn't deserve this,not in the slightest. You def were a power of example!!! Fly high Sean. I live love you and I'll never forget you! RIP my friend

December 16, 2014

Our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Sean, I am sending a message for my son John 'JR' Mullen who cannot be here for you at this time. He is so sorry for your loss he was a great friend to JR he helped him many times when my son was down and out and hooked him up with a free buzz cut. he would say "shizz" hooked me up with a fresh cut. I did not know Sean but he is so loved and such a tragic loss of a great young man. We are terribly sorry. May you all find comfort in all the outpouring of love for your son Sean. God bless!

My heart truly goes out to you for your sudden loss. I met Sean twice and that was enough. I feel disadvantaged not to have had the opportunity to have gotten to know such a caring kind person better. I was in court this morning with my son and I overheard people talking about him and they kept saying he was a such good kid. You are not alone we mourn with you.
