Sean Donnelly Obituary
Sean was love. If one word could describe this young man it would be love. Loved by his parents, siblings, and friends, Sean would never put a dull day in anyone's life. With a bright grin that could be seen in the darkest place, a goofyness that would make even the most stubborn people laugh, Sean displayed as much love as he could. Although he was no angel, Sean was a good-hearted, caring, loving young man.
Sean is survived by his father Darrell Donnelly, Stepmother Diana Donnelly Reyes, Mother Kathryn Dodge, Sisters Brittany and Kara Dodge, Brianna Donnelly, and only Brother Aaron Ortiz Donnelly Reyes. His Grandparents Bill and Tanya (Korrell) Donnelly, Ken and Linda (Pope) Dodge Willson and Rosa Reyes, His Uncles Will and Tom Donnelly, Steve and Mark Dodge, Alberto, Tony, and Jose Reyes, His Aunt Silvia Reyes Ramirez. Also many Great Aunts, Uncles, and numerous Cousins, Family, and Friends.

Sean,
You are and always will be my best friend. You were there for me when I needed someone to talk to, knew how to make EVERYONE laugh and showed us all that there's so much that we have to live for and do in this lifetime.
You showed us love, and friendship. You brought me and Jamie so much closer together. David too. We all miss you so much and I hope that you're looking down on us all, with that HUGE goofy grin, 50 different laughs at the ready and being proud of us all. We love you.

I will always remember the laughing and giggling at the back of the car when you hitch a ride home with Luis - that strange and funny Russian accent! You will truly be missed. Rest in peace, Sean, in your journey home. We will never forget you.

Sean, you were so special to me and I loved you so very much. As your Family and Friends mourn your passing we all are remembering what a special person you were and how you always lit up the room when you walked in. I will never forget how every time I saw you you would always put out your arms and ask for a Hug. With all my Love, Great Aunt Anita

Sean, I didn't know you well but what I remember those few days were the happy go lucky smiling full of energy and joyous kind of young man. You had been taken from this earth too soon but only GOD knows why and apparently he has better plans for you. May you Rest In Peace Sean as you sure have touched many lives here on earth.
