Sean Gilson, age 32 passed away unexpectedly at his home in California on February 4, 2022. He was born July 2, 1989 in Painesville to Brian and Kathleen (Mayer) Gilson.

Sean was an avid outdoorsman and adventurer, a lover of snowboarding, fishing, camping, traveling, music, and taking care of his wide variety of plants. He was also an avid Cleveland sports fan, in particular, the Cleveland Browns.  However, he loved nothing more than his friends, family, and living every day to its fullest. We will miss his smile, his laugh, sense of adventure, and eternal optimism.

Sean leaves behind his parents Brian Gilson and Kathleen (Neil) Weisenbach; love of his life Caitlynn Daniele; siblings Tamara (Andrew) Roberts, Julia Gilson (Michael Cutler) and Kaitlin (Nick) Copenhaver; his 4 nieces, nephew, many aunts, uncles, cousins, and many friends. He was preceded in death by his maternal and paternal grandparents, and many other loved ones.
