Sean was always a quiet contemplative person who was academically gifted and never had to do any work to get straight A’s. Sean’s favorite place and thing to do was to take his dog Snickers to the beach. He was particularly fond of the beaches at Dauphine Island, Alabama and Pensacola, Florida.
Sean was a very diligent Altar Server and served at 7:30 a.m. Mass every Sunday at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Folsom, Louisiana from December 9, 2012 through May of 2022. Sean was also a cub scout and boy scout for about nine years. Sean attended Lee Road Junior High School and Archbishop Hannan High School. At both schools he was in the band and played the trombone.
Prior to his cancer diagnosis Sean had a scholarship and was planning on attending Ole Miss in Oxford, Mississippi to major in chemistry. Sean was six days from moving into his dormitory at Ole Miss when he was diagnosed with cancer.
Sean had a gourmet palette and would never pass up a fine dining opportunity and he liked to dine at Commanders Palace and have Eggs Benedict at Café Rani on Sunday morning after Mass.
Sean loved to play video games and would wile away many hours on his X-box. Sean also had a passion for building Legos.
In lieu of flowers, contributions in Sean’s memory may be made to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital/ALSAC, located in Memphis, Tennessee.
