Sean McConnell Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 30, 2024.

Everyone who knew Sean loved Sean. He was full of life and emitted joy from every pore. He treated everyone he met with dignity and respect. He was curious, caring, and considerate. He knew people and/or made friends everywhere he went. He was passionate about music and played multiple instruments including guitar, mandolin, and ukulele. He was a skilled pool player and a masterful karaoke performer. He had a wickedly sharp sense of humor yet loved a good dad joke. He was fun, fearless, and fiercely loyal. He didn't care what anyone thought. He lived life exactly the way he wanted to live it. He owned his mistakes and strove to be a better person. He will be deeply and forever missed.

If you would like to honor Sean, please donate to the People's Music School, which provides free music education for underserved children in Chicago. There will be a celebration of life to be held at a future date, and a memorial fund will also be set up in Sean's name.

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 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 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 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.
