How lucky I am to have had Sean in school. And I am even luckier because I was blessed to have had the opportunity to keep up with him after he graduated. Also, working with him in theatre was even more fun than you can measure!

Sean's big heart was immediately felt by anyone who met him. I remember he was quick to laugh and brought joy to the room. Deepest condolences, and hope his memory burns as bright as he lived.

We are so sorry to hear this. Sean used to come to our house and play with our sons and still lived a few houses up. Love you all neighbors. Bobby and Susan.

It is unbelievable that we have lost Sean. He was an excellent student in my French classes at Crest and unforgettable. He always had a smile and kind words for me. He had a sensitive soul and caring personality. He remained a faithful contact on Facebook where we often shared that love of French with a post. May God comfort his family in this tragic loss. "Adieu, mon ami. Je t'aimerai toujours."
