Sean Eddy Obituary

Sean J. Eddy

Sean J. Eddy, age 54, passed away on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, at his residence in Hibbing, Minn.

He was born on September 30, 1970, in Chisholm, Minn., to Clark Eddy and Ruby Benjamin.

He grew up in the town of Hibbing and attended Hibbing High School. Sean worked many jobs, but the majority of his early career was at Hibbing Electronics until they closed their doors in 2008. It was at this point he made a choice to go back to school to pursue his millwright diploma from Mesabi Range College. After successfully graduating the program (where he proudly achieved perfect attendance), he went on to work at United Taconite. Sean could be very stubborn at times but was known for his great sense of humor. He enjoyed collecting and shooting guns, grouse hunting, spending time with his family and many friends, but most notably, putting as many miles on his motorcycles as he possibly could.

Sean is survived by his children, Jeff (Marcy) Eddy and Cheyenne Lippincott; siblings, Dan Lippincott, Ron Chyrklund; grandchildren, Ryan Eddy, Nathan Eddy and Liam Gilbertson; Cousin and close friend Fred Anderson; and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Clark and Ruby.

A celebration of life will take place from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. at AK's Bar & Grill formerly known as the Vene-Qua in Keewatin, Minn., at 203 N. 1st St. on Saturday, September 6, 2025. There will be a time of sharing at 2:00 p.m.

Arrangements are with the Dougherty Funeral Home of Hibbing, MN. Please visit our website at www.doughertyofhibbing.com to share a memory or condolence.
