Sean Vecchio Obituary
Sean Francis Vecchio, 50, passed away on May 24, 2021 at MidState Medical Center after a short illness. A lifelong resident of Hamden, he was born in New Haven on August 26, 1970. For the last 17 years, Sean was an engineer for the Metro North Railroad. He had a love of music that he was able to share with others via his talents of writing music, playing his guitar, and through his beautiful singing voice. An avid dog lover, he was also a motorcycle enthusiast. His sense of humor and the extraordinary way he was able to tell a story will be greatly missed.

comfort.
may his soul rest in peace and his spirit and memory live on for those who loved him.

When I think about this... how we lost Sean so suddenly, I’m stunned and saddened by our loss. But I / we also have to consider that we’ve had, and what we gained; Sean was our friend and brother. Sean was so generous, very, very, funny, brutally honest, extremely opinionated, and if he liked you - he always had your back. This loss we are all feeling is because he left such an impression on us. Our lives are richer for having known Sean, having spent time laughing hysterically together, playing music together, and sharing opinions together. I am so grateful to be able to call Sean my friend and got to spend these past few years together. I’m gonna miss my wheelie bag toting, Quaker Oats boy. Rock on Sean!

Sean. Your were so unique in your own way, you were like no other. When I first started sean would say I know you came from from freight but we can do over 40 here you know! He was relentless in his “ teachings” but I loved it.
At the end of the day he said you won’t be back tomorrow will you? I came back for more.everyday.
We really hit it off as we were a few months apart in age, and had ALOT of the same musical interest. Miss you forever.
Pick up a pick and rock out now Brother, see you on the other side.

As a musician it’s not often you find someone you connect with musically. It was effortless to play with you my friend and I will absolutely miss creating drum tracks for your masterpieces. Your friend and fellow musician Pizza Lou.

Sean told you what he thought and that was that!!! First time when I was an engineer in training I met Sean and he was training me on a light engine the first thing he said to me was what is the first thing that you don’t want to do before anything else obviously I didn’t say the right answer and he said don’t kill anyone be safe Sean gave me some real hard advice outside the railroad about what I asked him and he didn’t sugar coat anything!!!!! He love life and music and of course his land sharks beer he will be greatly missed

Sean...you would of been proud at the turnout last night at Odies for you and in general the amount of people you touched or that cared about you. I know you could see the end of the road soon work wise and had plans to tour in Europe soon but unfortunately it wasn’t meant to be. We shared lots of great memories in and out of work and will remember the good times and always turn up some makers or cold sharks for you. I know you wouldn’t want us to be sad or talk a lot about you because you didn’t want the attention but you were a great friend and one hell of a guitar player/musician, very bright and intelligent among other things. Thanks for listening and for the advice you gave me over the years. Cheers man and keep shredding on your customs and Marshall’s.. til we meet again
