Sean Taft Obituary


Sean Robert Taft

Sean Robert Taft, 22, of Everett, died December 28, 2005, as a result of a tragic traffic accident. He was born on December 10, 1983, in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Sean was happiest when he was outside sharing good times with good friends. He loved to ski, camp and fish and it wasn't unusual to find him outside in all kinds of weather. Besides being an avid outdoorsmen, he was a very warm, generous and loyal son, brother and friend.
Sean's lifelong companion was his dog, Jake. Two days after his passing, Sean reached back for Jake and it only seems right that they are again together.
He was preceded in death by his loving grandfathers, Donald Fisher, and William Cook.
Sean is survived by his parents, Penny and Jeff Kellam; brother, Jason Taft; nephew, Jakob Taft; grandmothers, Margaret Fisher, and Mary Ellen Kellam-Pirkle. He leaves behind many close friends including his girlfriend, Christeena Deen.
A private celebration of Sean's life was held Saturday, January 14, 2006.
Instead of flowers, our family would prefer that donations be made to the Sean Taft Memorial Fund at any Washington Mutual branch. These funds will be held in an educational trust for Sean's nephew, Jakob.

It's hard to believe that Sean is really gone. He was such a wonderful person and had such a kind heart and genuine soul. He always treated people with respect regardless of their flaws. I will never forget him there are so many great memories I have that I will carry in my heart always.

Penny, Jeff & Jason,



Sean touched all our hearts very deeply. Cobe and Brenna were especially lucky to have a cool cousin who wasn't too cool to get down and play with them at any given moment. He was a fun loving boy who grew into a respectful, open-hearted man. Sean's warm smile and sparkling eyes will never be forgotten.
