Sean Devin McConnell

Sean, today is Memorial Day 2025, it´s been one year since i received a hug from you, heard an "I love you, mom," laughed with you, talked with you or saw your beautiful face. I´m not sure how I made it one year. My heart breaks with every beat, every day. Know you are always in my heart and thoughts and will stay there until the day I take my last breath. I love you, my dear son, Mom.

Shawn ill never forget the pool games we had together and the night we had an awesome time playing at double Ds last time I saw you years ago I just recently found out of your passing I moved out of the area many years ago love ya bro Connor

Sean, I just want to hear you say "I love you, mom" once again. Mom
I love you Sean and miss you every day

I only knew Sean from the times he helped me at Wheaton Meats. He always called me "Miss", which cracked me up. Sean was always so helpful and quick to break into song if the music in the shop inspired him. My deepest condolences to his family and friends. He sounds like a wonderful, caring, and fun man. I will miss seeing him on Saturdays.

I remember Sean from all the family get togethers especially the annual family golf outings in Michigan. He was the most kind, caring, giving, genuine, fun loving, selfless person. I'm still in shock from his passing, just one of the best human beings I've ever known. He will always be remembered and never forgotten.

I enjoyed talking politics with Sean. Will miss those conversations.

I am shocked by the news
Every week I see Sean at Wheaton Meat greeting me with a Hi Jim how can I help you
He was transparent with a quirky sense of humor
He was one of the guys
He had character
He will be missed
My prayers are with his Family and The Wheaton Meat Family

I am so sorry to hear Sean passed away.
His kind heart will never be forgotten

I had great times with Sean. He was always hilarious when we hung out. Whether we were playing pool, going to bad clubs like Cadillac Ranch, or just throwing out quotes from Kids in the Hall episodes to each other, he was always a good guy to be around. One time driving, he took my Crucial Conflict tape and just threw it out the window, cause it was terrible. And I wasn't mad cause he was right. That's who he was. He just did what he wanted, and I can appreciate that.
He was always fun to be around, and he will be missed.

I am so sorry and in true disbelief that my dear friend Sean has passed... His way of life and humor has been a part of mine ever since we met at about 16 years of age.  The parties, the dancing, the singer, he was always such a a good host in life and welcomed all.  He put you before himself with no question. I also never met a man who looked so good in leather pants and snakeskin boots. ( Photo below) He was such a real human and let me be my goofy self with so much celebration. For those that don't know many people knew him as his online personality where his nickname was "Stetson" yes the cheap cologne. We all had cheap cologne names. That started in about 2006 all the way up until today.  I didn't even call him Sean anymore everyone knew him as "Stetson".  So many fun nights for many years and memories gaming with people from all over the country and our close friends.  His freaking funny guitar playing and songs had people in tears laughing so hard. I will miss that .  A really fond memory I have  is me, Sean, and my good friend Mike went to go visit our good friend Blaine in Oklahoma in 2011....(Pic below on buffalo) We stopped in St. Louis on the way to meet another friend and went out partying. Me and Mike went back to the hotel to call it an early night and Sean stayed out partying all night.  We got a call from him about 7:30 am to come and pick him up. Mind you this was a weekday and there is rush hour traffic of people going to work.  We pull up by the intersection and there is Sean walking on the sidewalk in the summer heat sweating with no shirt on...black leather pants...and snakeskin cowboy boots on.  We could only imagine what the people in the cars thought. We lost our minds laughing!! He could rock it so well like no other....

I will miss you.

Sean is the reason I became an aunt.. I remember when I held him for the first time that this angel was special!! So kind and loving to everyone! His family was so important to him and he will be truly missed at family gatherings and LRC!! The life of the party!! I was always hold you in my heart and thoughts. Most of all I´ll miss those hugs!! Oh those wonderful loving hugs!!

Kathy, Pete and I send our condolences to you and your family! Our prayers are with you.

A charming conversationalist and a lot of fun, right from the get. We've lost a Good Cousin.

I didn't get to know Sean for that long, but that lovable weirdo really had a way of putting people at ease. I was so comfortable being myself around him, and he made me feel like a cooler person, just by being himself. His kindness will not be forgotten, and I'll think of him any time I see a karaoke mic night.

I met Sean shooting pool at Sully's... he was singing and laughing and having a blast with his friends. I knew the moment I met him I wanted to know him. Sean is the most beautiful person I know. It's still hard to believe this is real.

I don´t have a significant life event from growing up that doesn´t involve Sean, in fact we went through so many of them together, being just for days apart. He was always so fun to be around and he made our family get togethers hilarious & constantly entertained! He always wanted to make sure that everyone was having fun and was taken care of... this to me seems like the story of his life! It didn´t matter if he knew you 45 years or 45 minutes, he cared about you just the same! It takes an incredibly special person to make everyone he meets feel loved, and I will always remember Sean for that gift that he so generously shared with me, my family, and everyone he met. The earth just got a little dimmer with your departure, Sean! I hope you know how much you are loved & appreciated

The picture is of Sean and I (probably age 8 if I had to guess) at Christmas, he introducing me to the first cat baby of our family (he´s lucky I gave her back! ) This life changing moment will live with me forever in my continued cat obsession
