Sean Gregory Dammers, 47, of Rutherford, passed away on August 18, 2025. Born on February 22, 1978, in Hackensack, NJ, he was the cherished son of Frederick and Ellen Walker Dammers.

Sean dedicated his professional life to serving others, beginning his career in high school as a volunteer EMT for the Rutherford Ambulance Squad. Followed by several years as an EMT with Aero Ambulance. A majority of his career was spent as a dispatcher for the Bergan County Police Department. He always ensured the safety and comfort of those in his care.

Outside of his career, Sean was deeply involved with the Rutherford Community Band where he served on their board. He played the baritone saxophone and was responsible for digitizing the band's music library. Sean also filmed performances and did audio recordings of concerts. He undertook this responsibility with great enthusiasm and dedication.

Sean is survived by his loving parents, Frederick and Ellen; his sister, Alycia Dammers Desmond and sister-in-law, Catherine; nieces, Perribella Walker Desmond and Violet Stone Desmond; and his girlfriend, Xiaoyin Zhang, affectionately known as Krissy.

Sean loved to laugh with everyone he knew. We will always remember him with a smile and lending a hand for anyone who needed it.
