I worked with Sean at OMIG. After my retirement we kept in touch and talked by phone every couple of months. He was a good friend and an able investigator. I am immensely saddened by his death. My condolences to the family.

Sean was down to earth. An awesome professional dedicated to his job. He was a straight shooter, with good one liners, that kept you laughing. A quality I grew to respect. Sean was smart and always ready to help his coworkers in achieving their goals. Our hearts are aching at the office. Sean will deeply be missed but never be forgotten. We are all praying for the family and ask that the Lord hear our prayers and embrace Sean with open arms.
Rest in peace Sean
