I know that I speak for everyone that knew Sean when I say that he was a great guy. We will all miss him deeply and we are all saddened by his loss. I can remember sitting and talking to him at the lunch table in 8th grade. He was just an all around great guy. God Bless and he will be in my heart always.

To the Kenny family,
I am deeply sorry for your loss and want you to know that Sean has left nothing but the best memories from the days of Hillcrest Elementary School. He had such a big heart and always went out of his way to let others know that he cared about them and loved them. Yes, he called my house often and early in the morning, and I called your house a lot and late at night, and I think both you and my parents yelled at me and Sean (those were the days before cell phones). Yet Sean always made the effort to show his love by writing letters, which I still have, and they are proof of his never-ending love. Not only was he caring but he was also so much fun to be around and extremely entertaining. I wish I could relive those days, and I will cherish the memories forever. He was such a great friend who was always there and always cared so much for everyone whos lives he touched. He will be missed so much. He is in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you all.

To the Kenny family,
First of all I want to say how sorry I am for your loss. I knew that Sean was an amazing person. I lived down the street from your family, on Jefferson, for the majority of my life. I have many memories of Sean and I playing together and teasing eachother. Camp Edwards, building forts in the trees behind my house, and hearing Sean go riding by on his go cart from time to time are only a small portion of the wonderful memories I have of Sean. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
