Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. Sean was so much a part of our family. He was more a brother to our son Ryan than a friend. His humor, his smile and his sense of adventure were his trademarks. But the faithful friend he always was, and the man that he had become are the real legacy he leaves us. He loved his family and friends above all else, and that is what will always remain with all of us.

  2. Deepest sympathy to the family and friends. You will be in our prayers and thoughts during this difficult time.

  3. May the heartfelt sympathy of those who feel the heartbreak with you , give you some comfort in knowing how much others care and love your family

  4. The news of Sean passing is so heartbreaking.

    I have so many great memories of the “boys” when they were in high school. All the sleep overs and snow boarding trips they took. Sean was such a nice young man. Always a joy to have over the house. I know Ryan is going to miss him.

    My deepest sympathy to the family and prayers for you at this most difficult time.

  5. Brian, we are so very sorry for your loss. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Tami & Ted

  6. Rest in Peace Sweet Sean
    Death leaves a heartache
    no one can heal,
    Love leaves the memories
    no one can steal.

  7. I am very sorry to hear of the loss of your son, Sean. Think of you and your kindness and faithfulness often. You take care, Susan
