Sean Shields Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Casper Funeral & Cremation Services on Mar. 10, 2026.
Sean Scott Shields, age 55, of Weymouth, MA, passed away in Boston, MA, on March 6, 2026.
He was born on May 9, 1970, in Miami, FL, and grew up in Rockland, Massachusetts. Sean was a loving father, son, and uncle.
He attended Rockland High School, where he played basketball and softball. He continued playing in local softball leagues after high school.
Sean worked in the landscaping business for most of his life, having his own business, Shields Landscape and Handyman Co. He enjoyed the outdoors, camping, hiking, sports, music, and going to concerts.
He was a big fan of all New England sports and loved going to games.
He enjoyed cooking and hosting cookouts for friends and family.
He loved his grandmother, Nanny, deeply, and she was a very important part of his life.
He loved dogs and had a childhood favorite, Missy, an Airedale Terrier who adored him.
Sean was a fun-loving, quick-witted, funny guy. He had a wonderful sense of humor and was a big jokester. He could make anyone laugh and lighten the mood quickly if needed.
Sean loved his daughters, Malia and Kiara, who were his pride and joy. He was incredibly proud of them and cherished all the beautiful memories they shared together.
His spirit lives on in those he leaves behind, and he will be deeply missed. He is survived by his mother, Donna Shields, and her partner, Bob Allen, of Rockland, MA; his former spouse, Dorene Doo of Brockton, MA; his two daughters, Malia Shields of Quincy, MA, and Kiara Shields of Brockton, MA; his best friends, Steve Azar of Weymouth, MA, and Ed Steele of Quincy, MA; and his beloved dog, Niko. He also leaves behind two aunts, two uncles, and numerous cousins.
He was preceded in death by his father, Jerry Shields of Oakland, CA; his grandmother, Barbara Hart of Punta Gorda, FL; and his aunt, Valerie Murphy of Prince Edward Island, Canada.
We invite all who knew Sean to share their memories and upload photos to his Legacy memorial page to celebrate his life and the profound impact he made on all of us. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

I have been a dear friend of his for decades and I can´t even begin to share the memories we shared both good and unexplainable but I do know that he will be missed by me and more importantly his daughters and parents I will always make time to never forget the good times which were deep and the bad which were confusing but we always connected on having daughters that were the same age apart a decade or so apart and I will pray for his girls to reach their full potential as I know he wanted for them

I´m very shocked and sorry to hear this! My sympathy to all who knew him. Sean was a nice guy and talented in landscaping (he did a great job on my lawn!)
