Sean Irish Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Sean Michael Irish, 60, passed away on April 17, 2025, in Newport News, Virginia. Born in New York, Sean was a cherished member of the Denbigh High School alumni community. He was known for his kind and loving nature; a gentleman who brought joy to all with his witty vernacular and warm presence.
Sean's passion for music was undeniable. An avid guitarist for over 52 years, his love for music resonated in his performances and his humble approach to his craft. His amazing blue eyes and kind smile were as memorable as the melodies he played, making him a pleasure to know and an honor to listen to.
Sean is survived by his father, John Michael Irish; mother, Donna Carol Irish, and brother, Kevin John Irish. He leaves behind a legacy of love, music, and kindness that will be cherished by his family, friends, and all who knew him.
A Memorial Service to Celebrate Sean's life will be held at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 30, 2025 at Weymouth Funeral Home with visitation to follow in the funeral home chapel.
His life was a testament to the power of kindness and the enduring impact of a beautiful soul expressed through music.
