Sean McGaughey Obituary

Sean Douglass McGaughey, 46, died August 20 in Collierville, Tennessee.

Sean was born September 27, 1977, in Memphis, Tennessee. He grew up in Germantown and graduated from Germantown High School in 1995. He attended the University of Memphis.

Sean faced difficult challenges during his life being born with spina bifida. He always faced those challenges and never wanted to be considered handicapped. He always wanted to do it on his own.

He worked for the Germantown Athletic Club for a number of years and just celebrated his 10 year anniversary last fall working at Baptist Hospital Memphis and Baptist Hospital Collierville.

Sean is survived by his parents, Jan Smith McGaughey and Douglass Williams "Bill" McGaughey; brother, Todd Williams McGaughey (Melody); sister, Amanda McGaughey Lovell (Chris); nephews, Paxton Christopher Lovell and Bowman Douglass Lovell; nieces, Greer Elizabeth McGaughey, Kerrington Paige Lovell, and Gracie Elizabeth McGaughey; cousin, Donald William Grice.

Sean was a member of Germantown Baptist Church
