I only knew "Seany" for a few hours, but he touched my heart far beyond any words. I knew he was someone extraordinary when he wanted help walking to the soda machine so he could purchase some pop for his mom. Sean, your kind face and gentle soul will stay with me forever. I thank you for allowing me to care for you while at Edward. I can truly say I am a better person for knowing you and your family.

I am so sad to hear about Sean's death. We used to lifeguard together in the summer and he was so funny to be around all day! He was a great person and he always made everyone laugh that was around him!

Sharon and Family,
I was truly saddened to hear of your loss.
Sean was the most genuine person that I have ever met. He was true to himself and that made him extraordinary. Memories flood my mind of him. I will never forget Sean or you.
Your old Bushwacker friend,
Sherry (Shinkle) Williams

I don't think that anybody could make me laugh harder than Sean. He brought so much fun and happiness to those around him. His smile and laughter will be remembered forever. And those childhood pictures at the service - unforgettable !! Peace, Love and Sympathy.

Seany was my best friend and craziest older cousin/more like brother. My life, especially my childhood, wouldn't have been quite so memorable without him! He is a character so unique, he could never be replaced and stories of him will go on forever. He knew how to make each and every one laugh at ourselves! He made us feel special, even when he was making a joke about us. His talents were immense. I miss you, love you, and promise to make sure my newly born son knows every thing about you.

There will never be another Sean! A man of many words!!! He was hysterical! He kept all the cousins "in-check!" He taught us many sayings even before they became trendy! He scared us (the cousins) with haunted stories about a monster named "Sammy Stone!" He taught us what was "cool." Occasionally, he would play harmless pranks on us!!! He was so concerned about everyone in the family and wanted to hear EVERYTHING that was going on in our lives! He added so much to the holidays! He wrote poems about the family and shared the poems on Christmas Eve! He had us laughing to the point of tears!!!!!!!!! His stories, jokes, laugh, and smile are already missed!

I was so heart broken to hear the news of Sean's passing. I can still remember his smile and laugh from when we went to STM together. He was an amazing man... and one that will leave a last impression on everyone he has ever known. May the wind be always at your back, May the sun shine warm upon your face, The rains fall soft upon your fields and, Until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Dear Sherry, Rosemarie, Bobby (& family), Joe & Judy (& family),
I feel like I've lost a family member, and we *all* have. A light went out in this world with Sean's passing, but another was lit up by his entrance. My love and sympathy go out to the many whose lives he touched. We were all blessed by his short presence on this earth. May the joy and laughter go on in his sweet memory. With love,
