Sean Cavanagh Obituary
September 2, 1964 - November 14, 2025
It is with the deepest sadness that we announce that Sean Cavanagh, 61, of Dunedin, FL, passed away on Friday, November 14, 2025.
Born in Washington D.C. to Francis and Carmelina (née Conderato) Cavanagh, he was raised in Easton, Connecticut, and would eventually settle in New Jersey before retiring to Florida. Sean graduated from Joel Barlow High School in 1982 and Boston College in 1986 with a bachelor's degree in finance. He later attended University of Bridgeport for an MBA. Sean worked for Metlife for over 20 years and later started a second career as a Paralegal.
Sean was kind-hearted and deeply intelligent, bringing good humor and wisdom to all who knew him. Throughout his life, he became an active member of his community, coaching numerous soccer and basketball teams. An avid Pittsburgh Steelers and college football fan, Sean held a deep love of sports and shared this passion with others. His intelligence was complemented by creativity, leading to a love of literature and art that he shared with his loved ones. With a great sense of humor, Sean brought a smile to everyone he met, brightening the lives of everyone around him especially his beloved family.
He is survived by wife Michelle (née Rockeman) Cavanagh; daughters, Stephanie and Lindsay Cavanagh; stepson, Jon Biancalana; mother, Carmelina Cavanagh; father, Francis Cavanagh; siblings, James Cavanagh (Leslie), Bettina Cavanagh Grob (Michael) and Victoria Sinnicki (William); nieces, Deirdre, Emily, Isabel, Libby, and Natalie, and nephews, Christian, William, Daniel, and Brian.

How to families grew up in Eastern Connecticut as we both move to the town a month apart from another state. His family was really our first set of friends. We will always have fond memories of Sean and my heart and love is with the whole family. Blessings and prayers to Sean's wife and his daughters and stepson as I know that this is a very very difficult time.

I met Sean by chance in our local library. I found his wallet and called to let him know it was here. We became fast friends. His wife Shelley was a beautiful woman who added so much fun to our friendship. Sean and I coached soccer together for many years. He was so proud of the kids. I will never forget his mom meeting me for the first time and asking " are you Sean´s special friend?" Little did she know he was the special friend. You will be missed.
