Sean Richardson Obituary
Sean P. Richardson, age 55, passed away unexpectedly in his home. Born and raised in Lowell, MA, Sean was a graduate of Sacred Heart School and Lowell High School. After being inspired by his father and brothers' love of law enforcement Sean became a Correctional Officer with the Middlesex Sheriff's Office where he was employed for 28 years until his retirement.
Sean was an avid fan of all Boston sports teams, especially the Red Sox and Bruins. Sean loved music and he especially loved listening to his favorite band "The Beatles." He was a big guy with an even bigger heart, was very generous and fiercely loyal. He was a loving brother, uncle, and friend and will be sadly missed.
Sean is survived by his sister Gail and her husband James of Groton, MA, his brother Kevin and his wife Brenda Lowell, MA, his brother Gary Richardson of Lowell, MA and his brother Kelly and his wife Brenda of Dunstable, MA. He is also survived by many loving nieces and nephews.
Sean is predeceased by his parents, Raymond and Barbara (O'Neil) Richardson, his brother, Brian, and many loving relatives. Rest in Peace Trigger.

To Jeff & the entire Richardson Family, sorry for your loss, Trigger was the guy who made the 8hr work shift just fly by, a man of few words unless it was about his beloved Boston Sports teams. As a coworker if he suggest you do something, you did it, had everyones RESPECT

I had the pleasure of working with Sean for many years, he was one of the best to ever wear the uniform. Sean was as loyal as they come, which is not surprising because he comes from a family of Law Enforcement. RIP Sean.
