Sean West Obituary
Salisbury - Sean Douglas "Sparky" West, 35, of Salisbury, passed away on Monday, June 29, 2020.
He was born on December 27, 1984 in Nashua, New Hampshire. He succumbed to the battle of addiction, extremely heart breaking to watch someone you love fight so hard to win the battle against the addiction. He now has peace with our Heavenly Father. He was a son of Loretta M. West of Salisbury and Jeremy D. West of St. Augustine, Florida. He graduated from Parkside High School with the class of 2003. Sean lit up a room whenever he walked in with his contagious smile and his wonderful sense of humor. He was a people lover, and was always willing to lend a helping hand whenever there was a need. Growing up he loved to skateboard, he played soccer and lacrosse, but his true love was baseball. He was an avid golfer and had recently fallen in love with fishing. He loved the beach. Sean exhibited a strong work ethic, even at an early age. He worked at Ruth's Chris Steak House, UPS, and Maloney Telecom. In the past few years he was learning the elevator business and enjoyed his work as an apprentice at Delaware Elevator. He will be remembered as a proud, loving father, son and brother, and a great friend.
In addition to his parents, he is survived by his daughter, Milaah West; brothers, Brian West of St. Augustine and Eric West of Salisbury; aunt, Dee Welsh; uncle, Michael Welsh and his wife Sue; many cousins; and a host of close friends.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

I had the great thrill of coaching Sparky at Fruitland LL. My son, Lee, played baseball with him for years. I also got to know his Mom, Loretta, well. A great family! Sparky lit up the field and always left his teammates and coaches laughing. It was a great talent. My prayers for peace go out to his entire family.

Sean,
Our family has been connected for so many years.. Brian and Danny became friends in like 9th grade, so 94/95. I remember you being shy for a sec around new people, then within minutes the Real Sean always came bursting through. That is why so many people had the honor of calling you their friend. Thats just who you were. A cool guy, a hilarious guy, and a great friend. I miss those days, as we all will miss you...
Brian, Eric, and Mrs. West, the Charley family is here if you need us..
Godspeed Sean..
The world was a better place with you in it..

Sean was my sons first little buddy. He was an adorable little child, and so funny! I can still picture them playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for hours. My heart goes out to all, Loretta, Brian, Eric, and Jerry, and of course Milaah.
