Sean Brennan Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Sean was born in Burlington, VT to his loving parents John and Lynn (Bedard) Brennan on December 2, 1984. Sean was an extraordinary person; gentle, kind, and happy while living with his physical and mental impairments. He attended Colchester schools and later programs through Howard Community Services. He was happiest riding in a car with a loved one with pencils, sunglasses and Christmas music playing no matter what time of year it was.
Sean is survived by his parents and his sister Emily Desautels (Todd), many loving aunts, uncles, and cousins. In his lifetime he came to know many 1:1 aides, Special Educators, shared living providers, case managers, respite workers, doctors, and nurses. We want to thank Jen and her family and Jessie and her boys for the love, respect, kindness, and dignity they gave Sean in recent years.
You were our angel on this earth and now you are our angel in heaven.
There will be no calling hours and a private celebration of life will be at a later date.

Dear Lynn, John and Emily,
I was sorry to learn about the passing away of your dear son and brother. I have good memories of him from my days as pastor at Holy Cross. He always seemed to be happy. You always did your best to you provide for him so well.
Please be assured of my prayers for his eternal happiness and for you at this difficult time of your loss.
Fr. Roger Charbonneau, former pastor at Holy Cross Church.
