Sean Michael Pasinsky

Sean Michael Pasinsky, 53, of Murray, Utah, passed away on December 29, 2025, after a life defined by curiosity, service, and love.

Sean was born December 29th in Delta, Colorado, the son of Steve Pasinsky and Deborah Boyd.

Sean graduated from high school in 1991, then went on to the University of Utah, earning a degree in Chemical and Fuels Engineering. He has been a student of science and engineering ever since.

Sean joined the United States Air Force in 1991 and served until his honorable discharge in 1995. A veteran of Operation Desert Storm, he also served nearly three years overseas, including being stationed in Germany, and served his country with dedication and pride. During his service, he participated in a key U.S. – Hungary diplomatic and military cooperation effort that was critical to Hungary's future NATO membership. In recognition of his contributions, the Hungarian military awarded him the title of Honorary Colonel.

Sean brought the same curiosity to his work that he brought to everything else. He worked as a chemical engineer, leading new methods for producing xylitol from renewable sources. He later served as a senior

consultant supporting military organizations and also designed formulations for nutrition supplements. He even owned and operated a fashion label.

Sean loved to travel and explored much of the world, always eager to share those experiences with the people he loved. He was devoted to being both a teacher and a lifelong student. After any conversation with him, people often left knowing more than when they arrived.

Remaining to cherish Sean's memory are his son, Aiden Pasinsky; his mother, Deborah Boyd; and the many members of his found family who loved him dearly.

A Memorial Service for Sean with Military Honors will be by invitation only.
