Sean Williamson Obituary

Sean A. Williamson, 16, son of Daniel and Catherine (Day) Williamson of Manchester, passed unexpectedly from this life and into eternal life on Tuesday, December 14, 2021. He will always be remembered by his loving family and friends. Sean was a kind, fun-loving, funny, and intelligent person. He loved clothes, shoes, hot sauce, his dogs and his rabbit, Lettuce. He was very proud of his hair which had a variety of shades and styles over the years. As a young boy he was involved in martial arts, played baseball and basketball but in sixth grade he began to concentrate on one of his greatest passions – the sport of soccer. He made many wonderful friends through soccer. Sean was in our lives for far too short a time but we are forever grateful that he was, and will always be, a part of our family. He gave us an enormous amount of joy, and he will be in our hearts forever. He is survived by his parents Daniel and Catherine, his brother Conor, grandmother Jeanette Day; aunts and uncles Patricia (Paul) Misselwitz of West Chester, PA, Kenneth (Marjorie) Williamson of East Hartford, CT, James (Cara) Williamson of Middletown, CT, Thomas (Lesia) Day of Andover, CT, David (Audrey) Day of Sherman, CT, and Edward (Joan) Day of Andover, CT; as well as numerous cousins and friends. He was predeceased by his grandparents, Richard T. Day, and Weldon and Annrita Williamson. Family and friends may call at- the John F. Tierney Funeral Home, 219 W. Center St., Manchester, on Monday, December 20th, 2021, from 4 – 7 pm. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Tuesday, December 21st, at 10:00 a.m. St. Bartholomew Church, 736 Middle Turnpike, Manchester, (please meet at church), followed by burial at St. James Cemetery.

Dear Dan, Cathy, and Conor,
Our heartfelt condolences to you from our family. The shock and depth of our sadness for all of you is immeasurable. It has been years since we have seen each other. We spent many an afternoon after preschool watching all the kids play together or an early evening chit chatting during their TKD. May you draw strength from friends and family near and far; and may memories of Sean´s adorable smile offer you comfort now and always.

Me and Sean weren´t the closest of friends but we were close enough to where we grew a tight bond since 6th grade. Every conversation we had was always peace and every encounter was good times. To any family member reading this, I am very glad I had the time I had with Sean. I´m currently working on a art piece in his memory that I would love to give to Sean´s parents. This piece will be my way of sending my condolences for him to his family. My number is (860)268-5264, if the parents of Sean can reach out I´ll like to talk about giving the piece to you both to have. Thanks, Antwhan M. Diaz

My thoughts and prayers are with Sean´s family and friends. My son Dylan and Sean were friends. I had the pleasure of having Sean in my group when I chaperoned the Illing DC field trip. He was such a joy to have in the group. I´m so very sorry his time on Earth was cut short and will always smile when I think of him.
