I am so glad that you came into our lives. You always had a special way about you and made people just happy to know you. Our lives have a large empty spot where you were and we miss you so very much. You will always be a part of us no matter where we are or what we are doing. We will always love your kind, gentle ways, and miss having you to talk to in your special way. Love, Aunt Francine

Having recently come to know a little about you through your father, I see the many virtues you shared with my son who also died as a consequence of his disabilities.
Your sensitivity, honesty, directness passion and courage shine through every word and glance when he speaks of you.

Dear Raymond, Pat, & Liam,
We were so sad to hear about Sean today!
My Mom said she's sure he's wrapped in the arms of his Grandma, who always shared the family stories. Sean let his light shine for all to see...a wonderful boy from a fantastic family! With love, peace, and prayers from all the Pfeifers.

As Head of Churchill, during Sean's years in the high school,I came to know a courageous,inspirational and loving young man. Every time we saw each other,he would give me a big beautiful smile and a big hello. We all learned so much from Sean about courage and living life to the fullest-he will always be a part of the Churchill family and in my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with Pat,Ray and Liam .

I met Sean on his first day of ninth grade at the Churchill School where I was his history teacher and homeroom teacher. It was not long before he endeared himself to both students and faculty alike with his warmth and kindness. He had a lively irrepressible spirit in the face of hardships many of us will never know. In his short time, he inspired many who will never forget his courage.

Sean was a friend of our son, Jonathan's. We first met Sean when he was about ten years old and our paths continued to cross through high school. Sean was warm, and funny and interesting. He was also so very brave. We send loving thoughts to Sean's mother and father and to Liam. We will keep Sean, and you, in our thoughts. Lisa Karlin and Jim Kunen

Sean is an inspiration to us all; always ready to take on whatever came to him with a smile and an underlying bravado that made us all feel a little better.
I am better for knowing Sean and I thank him for showing me what it means to be strong, resilient and happy. He showed me from the first time I met him how attitude and not circumstances were important and of course, made me smile and laugh with him.
With love to Ray, Pat and Liam, my prayers are with you and yours.

Years ago, we were at Judy's house, Sean was young. I remember seeing him outside in the yard. Then I had learned that he had heart surgery. I looked again at him, in amazement. As I watched this young child, I wished that I could be as fearless as he was. It is not often that you see someone just a few times over the years, and yet, you never ever forget that someone. I remember Sean.
He simply loved and lived life as it should be lived, fearlessly, joyfully.
love from everyone in the family,

To Ray, Pat & Liam,
We only had one week each year to enjoy the company of your family at Cape Cod. But, it only took a moment to recognize how special Sean was. His charm, quick wit and sense of humor made it easy for us to feel like we've always been friends. His presence was larger than life and he will always be in our hearts.
Our prayers are with you at this most difficult time.

Dear Pat, Ray and Liam,
We got to meet Sean thru our son, Kyle Wincig from Churchill. We had Sean over a couple of times to celebrate Kyle's birthdays. Although Sean was not feeling 100% well, his smile fooled us all. Never a complain, always a smile. It was amazing to see how his peers took such good care of him. They were so good together.
Sean was a true warrior who fought his battles with dignity and courage.
He will be missed and you will be in our prayers. May Sean's soul rest in peace and may God give you strength at this sad time in your lives. Love Kyle Wincig's Family
