Ruel of Ellington; his grandmother Jean Mullen; his step-siblings Connor, Elizabeth, Eric, Liz, Casey and Brian; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

Ruel; and his cousin Jessica Mullen. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday, April 12th at 11:00 a.m. at St. James Church 896 Main St. Manchester.

Sean was one of the most supportive and caring people I ever had the pleasure of meeting. He will be missed by friends that he made all over the world through his online communities.

My condolences go out to Sean's family. I am so sorry for your loss. I have known Sean for two years. What an absolute pleasure it was to have had the opportunity to know such an amazing person. Sean had that special something to touch someone's heart within the first minute of meeting him. Such a wonderful magical soul. I am absolutely heartbroken over this news and I cannot imagine what his family must be going through. I will carry the memories I have of Sean close to me for the rest of my life. Rest in peace.

Sean's passing is a shock to many of us who've known him briefly. I express sorrow to his family. I only knew him from his employment at a local vendor, his brother, the same. May his kind heart and soul rest along those who've gone before us. What a sad piece of news this has been.
