Sean “LIT” up any room with his infectious laughter and warm demeanor. His presence brought joy and comfort to gatherings of family and friends, where his genuine interest in others and his playful nature created lasting memories.

He took immense pride and joy in the accomplishments of his nieces and nephews, celebrating their athletic achievements and academic successes with unmatched enthusiasm. Sean’s love for children extended beyond his family, as he was always eager to play with kids indoors and outdoors, nurturing their growth and inspiring their dreams.

His loyalty also extended to his alma mater, Mount Carmel High School, and his beloved sports teams, where his passion for competition and camaraderie shone brightly.

With an eclectic taste in music and the arts, Sean was a talented artist who excelled in graphic design and drawing. His creativity and passion for expression enriched the lives of all who knew him, leaving an indelible mark on his expansive community of friends and family.  He also developed a keen talent for BBQ grilling and loved being in the kitchen with his family.
